Sorry, I meant lyricist only, not the singers.
BTW, there may be quite some movies with different lyricists for each song.

Yep, Thesedays Vidyasagar uses a team of 5 or 6 lyricists and gives one song each ... But 8 may be the first, in ULiyin OsaiQuote:

"Devan Thandtha Veenai' - Unnai Naan Sandhithen

Oh, i thought Vaali had written the lyrics for this song!Quote:

atleast 3-4 songs (which are nice), could have sounded lot better if the sound engineer worked. IR has been plagued by this lack of quality for a long time and still it is.
dochu,
I had always a feeling that IR works out an average (meaning the mean average of sounds that will be heard) sound quality for his songs to sound good in a local player aswelas a hi-fi player. His 80's songs which had great sounds were played in a 'kozhai speaker' aswel a good quality tape recorder those days and it sounded great in both systems. Today his songs can be played in a hi-fi system aswel a locally made Rs.1000 DVD/VCD/ACD/MP3 player and would sound great in both players. :)
Iam finding more nuances in his 80's songs in regards to recording of sounds, when listening in an IPOD or a Hi-Fi system now, which were not noticed by me before, Yet I had loved those songs, then. For instance the 3 voice couterpoint of Raaja in 'Raaja Raajathi Raajan intha Raaja' was a revelation to me only few years ago. I just love this song 'now' for this and also the way rhythm revolves around from left aural field to right aural field not leaving out the field in between too. There are scores of other songs of which I awe at the sound recording, I notice about them only while listening to it in an IPOD or a good System.
A 'Sakkarakatti' can only be enjoyed in a hi-fi system, period! :P
GOOD that you are enjoying 'Dhanam' Better than before.
There is no need for firing his 'Sound Engineer' He is perfectly OK. who else could have come up with the awesome sound of flesh hitting flesh in 'Sathya' ( Ofcourse with the guidance of Raaja and Kamal) :!:
Just because you and me are accessible to an IPOD/Hi-Fi system its unfair to abandon the multitude of people who listen to these songs in local FM Radios ( you get one for as cheap as Rs.100) or a local player. Raaja Cares for them is what I believe :oops:
RS,
It is ok if he wants to cover mass - but I miss the nuances (clarity) of his music. :x
Anyway, by any chance do you have better quality of 'Mayilu'? I tried improving the sound with soundforge - but nothing helped.
Yanathey, vellimal, and kirku adi kirukku have played non-stop for a while in system now. :-)
Add to that Rahman owns a full fledged studio of his own and mandates that he will only use that. Raja OTOH has his floor in Prasad lab and if the movie is big and there is money available uses a different studio/ full sized orchestra - So cost plays a big factor - but this atleast keeps him accessible to every layman producer and institute fresh pass out director.Quote:

Uh, Jaiganes, that's Ananthu's voice as far as I know.Quote:

This whole album did not have a great pool of violins, cellos or bass guitars - just plain old melody with minimal instruments - the effect 30 years later on is still stunning!!!
Dochu,
I agree with your concern. Looks like rajasaranam is justifying this out of the way by putting himself in raja's shoes :). Raja had problems with every audio company, he started his own one (remember the visiri logo) the result is the loss of sound quality of many of his albums. Even now I remember how crazy my audiophile friends were about the thanganagan LP record the quality was amazing. Wat I failed to understand was why there was so much inconsistency in terms of sound quality in his albums. Now I understand :). The truely sad thing is albums like rajapaarvai suffers in that area. I recently bought a cd hoping that quality wud b Gud but it was not so. The culprit is raaja himself. See Rahman never u can say his albums lacks sound quality.
guys,
problem is - we don't know what we are missing. this guy is capable of creating novel sounds and tunes, if the quality is bad, most likely they don't come out well.
to me, music is much dependent on quality of the sound itself. isn't that fundamental to the music itself. Days of AM radio and other things are over. Nowadays, I stopped buying DVD's after seeing Blu-ray. Isn't it time that he 'upgraded' to the latest 'innovations'? His sons KSR and YSR sound quality are far far superior than his.
To me, it shows that either he doesn't care or he is having a sound engineer who has been with since 70's or so. although I have met one of them (10 yrs ago). I am not sure whether he is still around with him.
i have been working on IR's songs and cleaning up myself (i am not a sound engineer by any means). but most of them are far beyond correction. UO sounded lot better than dhanam. still I haven't gotten hold of CD of Dhanam, but from mp3 I could see where the quality will be from past trend.
ennamo pongappa ......eppadiye polambiye we are going to end our lives. :D
Mallepuvvu audio released yesterday !!
Photos of IR in the function and some self boasting talk from IR..
http://www.idlebrain.com/news/functi...allepuvvu.html
Mallepuvvu songs
http://www.raaga.com/channels/telugu.../A0001345.html
Listened to all the songs in Mallepuvvu !
Another instantly likeable album following UO and Dhanam. :bluejump:
Listen first to Chirugali by Vijay Yesudas ! a vintage IR :)
8 songs seem to be unnecessarily a large number, but atleast 5 songs out of them is brand IR and strengthens the positive signs that IR is coming back ! :thumbsup:
Thalaivar ippa almost ella album release'kkum varaar poala :)

IR seems to have come out of his self imposed dull phase.
Mallepuvvu doesnt have any complexity !
Very simple yet likeable tunes !
No "irritating pauses", free flowing 80's style tunes !! :)
Again synth, but lot of fresh piano, flute pieces :)
Choice of singers is very good ! Shreya, IR, Karthik for the romantic numbers... and Tippu, Bhava have been given just what they can do better :)
Now I am not sure what to listen...Dhanam or Mallepuvvu..
Pazhassi Raja also will arrive this month...hmm..Choice is going to be difficult !! :D

" One would have just grabbed the album on seeing the number of songs, if it were 1985 . But these days its more of a suspicion than adrenal:)
Instantly liked the title melody (his recent found melody pattern). I dont know why IR wants to keep the interludes simple. Although it suits the song, I prefer better interludes (with flutes/violins, etc...mmm...dream ended)
Lokam with decent mass music should get popular. Listening to charanam portions, one gets reminded of "Yele nee ettipo" of MX.
Gajula did not impress me much, especially the pallavi. Partly different orchestration from IR. IR can really make better interludes.
Suvvi interlude shows glimpses of IR's (especially the way interlude ends with those strings) old interludes pattern. Sort of an old style IR telugu tune.
Did not like IR's humming (maybe his voice distracted) in the beginning. Although portions of tune sounds familiar, the overall tune is new. The first interlude with those piano like interludes is class. Loved it. This song situation should be in the lines of "Oh priya priya" I guess. I really wish someone apart from IR had sung this. His voice does not suit this type of song and also some places I can see strain.
Chirugaali is a good tune and nice singing. Loved the song. Mmmm...another IR's good song with only one charanam!
Hero is a decent fun song, not a regular tune. Will suit the situation.
IR has tried to make the song "Vasthava" sound different. Not much comments about this song.
This is nice, but very short. Is it shwetha (daughter of Sujatha), because she has the same voice :)
Will savour Chirugaali, title song & probably chandamama as well.
thanks,
Krishnan
Krish244,
I too was not impressed by Gajula and Suvvi first.
Listen to it again and you will feel the change :)

audio release function. One line says
"After a long time Maestro Illayaraja scored tunes for the movie"
Don't know how they frame sentences. Could mislead into thinking (who does not know about IR's speed) that IR took long time to score the music :).
Krishnan
I know it is goingback a few pages and probably out of context, but just was listening to Anumanaspadam(Telugu) and a sonu nigam song (Raa raa raa gumma) sounded mesmerising. The way it peaks to a crescendo and abruptly ends in a cliffhanger is amazing.. Learned people in this forum could probably call it as "likeable experimentation". If that does not qualify to be an experiment, dont know what else is. A high energy song.. If you havent heard it in the recent past.. please do hear it again and post your comments.
Also, can anybody in this forum throw some light on why IR and chiranjeevi stopped collaborating since so long.. IR has always given evergreen gems with chiru right from abhilasha (1983).. till their last (stuvartu puram police station/(1992?) And then the magic stopped.
Hello,
enna paa inge nadakkudhu.. ?
"Malle puvvu" songs-a kaettuttu comments adippeenga-nu nenaicchaa aal aalukku yedhedho post panreengale... :sigh2:
:lol2: Thalaivar is back certainly...i told you all he was just waiting for proper scripts.
Intha albumum seri ellei nu sonaal... :lol2:
Can anyone identify what raagam Chirugaali is? Seems very familiar :confused2:
HI Raja fan,
Not sure if your comments were intended for me. I dont understand tamil :-(
But if my interpretation on my posts being out of context, then i apologise. I do admit they were out of context. If that was not what you meant, please can you write back in english.
The theme is unbelievable...thalaivarey..instrumentation and orchestration of the stupenditis of the meesic :notworthy:
Relactivex,
I just expressed my irritation that people here are talking about some things else when another album "Mallepuvvu" has just been released !
Nothing against any particular individual including you !
Please do not irritate by talking some old album or news here when we have something hot before us now :)
I listened to Mallepuvvu songs once at Raaga.com. My initial reaction is this is better than Dhanam definitely. I searched for mp3s on the net and they are available in 128kbps format, I am downloading new songs of IR in mp3 for the first time. :D
BTW, Vasthavo Naatho - bad song, couldn't listen to it fully.
raja_fan,
I am listening them in mp3 (the quality is still poor) but sounds like these melodies will be big hits in Telugu. I understand your excitement about this album :)
All songs are penned by one lyricist, Veturi. How are the lyrics, guys? Are they good?
Listened to all the songs. overall a feel good album for raja fans better than Dhanam. But cant help feeling that the tunes have "already heard" effect.
There is nothing new he is going to achieve by composing for films.
Time for Raaja to really come out of the films concentrate on "NEW PROJECTS" as he mentions in raaja.com. we fans are here to support....
eagle,
You will get those NEW PROJECTS only if he involves with film projects and keep himself busy. :)
MP songs - sounds very nice. Definietely better than Dhanam. some - reminds his older songs.
Is 'Chandamama' based on a previous song. I can't seem to narrow it down.
