Kamal is a great artist but with reference to ilayaraaja and sivaji he is only fit to call them my icon Sivaji Saab and my fav MD iayaraaja in the north indian news channels. He does not show it in actions and today IR doesnt require a kamal or a rajini to boost himself up
Bala was a starter when he did sethu..wasnt the magic created again...
Same goes with directors like vasanth..kathir..thangar bachan.and the directors of valmiki..mayilu...dhanam...
Update on "Pa"!

"Music? Ah Ilaiyaraja again. I worship the man. And the cinematography will be by none other than P C Sreeeram, again after Cheeni Kam."

Ellaam sari thaan. But if he is going to butcher the songs in the film, like what he did in CK, apparam irukku.. :evil:Quote:

Actually, I thought Balki handled the songs well in the film. Cutting them short made the film look more professional, classy (standing apart from other similar fares). full songs are for the CD. BGM is for the movie. The BGM in CK sounded even better, maybe cos the songs were short and bgm got more attention...Quote:

Many gems of IR have gone unnoticed just because they did not come in the film :(
The best example is "Devanin koil.." from Aruvadai Naal. What a song !! and how less popular it is :(
ChenniKam title Song was a big hit that now there is German Version Remixed and Floating Around :)Quote:

Not only that, IMHO (i have some north indian friends) majority of the youngsters prefer songs with heavy beats and sounds. They loved songs which had nothing but sound. They even said CK songs aren't too good. This is one main reason why CK songs were not heard for long time.Quote:

How do you say CK title song was a big hit ?Quote:

Don't go by the times when the movie was running..even crap numbers will find its place in TV channels when the movie is running..
And this german version..it depends on how is it being received ? My opinion abt this german version is "Sahikkalai" :)
To me, even the hindi version of his classics in Cheeni Kum are not up to the mark. The originals in tamil always sound million times better. The German version is definitely not meant for IR fans, and it is for people who are alien to IR's music. :DQuote:

Is india tales talking about that one way group in yahoo
Kamesh,
I got this on my personal mail id and posted the same on other Yahoo groups. I got another reply from Dilip Raj mentioned in the above message.
IR Fans, let us all mail him and assure him of our support on this.
I lost the respect i had for IR ! ... His fan base always claim, that he's the only one in industry not using those commercial samples/loops and always being so ORIGINAL, - so recently when i heard "Dhanam", i got shocked hearing a common used sample in his song. OMG .. hmm. Actually the Raaga sample thing, which YSR already used for Pudhupettai.
Don't mistaken me, using samples/loops isn't wrong. However i've just always thought that IR did everything by himself. Maybe, it's just me then ? hmm.
One more thing, why is IR Cd's priced lower than any other cd? I bought Dhanam for just 50 rupees. Strange, isn't?
Their website looks genuine.
I am excited about the Aiyappa geeta maala album.
he has used loops quite number of times, but only in a very small way . One famous loop is the second interlude rythm of naan thanga roja in TIME .Quote:

May be due to his low royalty fees?? I guess the cheapest was Sivi, the Cd was sold for 20 Rs or so by the audio company itself to fight out the piracy.Quote:

Well, when i saw the Dhanam ad, i got these IR goosebumps, don't know why. Was thrilled to hear some good stuff from him and the ad's looked promising. However, after i heard the songs, i trashed the entire album :roll:Quote:

Amen. Same here. I throwed Dhanam to attic after first hearing. Revisited yesterday based on Suresh's suggestion and throwed again.Quote:

News not for those pessimists filling up the recent pages...

Somewhere else I read that its going to release in September/October. Forgot the link.
thanks,

Yes, kannanukku is the best song in recent times. The blend of synth in pallavi and traditional instrument in charanam is neatly done, def. betten than UO songs.Quote:

Guys, look at the stills of Vaalmiki, they are good:

Along with NK, Nandhalala, Vaalmiki is the next one I am looking forward to.
Nandhalala is one album am very eagerly waiting for. Coz Myshkin's interview in AV was so poetic and created very high expectations...Quote:

FYI, they have got their act based on my email (i.e. link through indiatales to purchase the CD wasnt working yesterday) and made it working. They have also added teh international CC option as well. Unfortunately they havent add Mastercard, which they "promised" they will be adding in a day or two.Quote:

Listening to "Yaarum" and "Yarukku" songs from Ajantha. The song "Yaarum" has a nice flow with vintage IR orchestration (interludes). Looks like major portions of orchestra (strings, etc in interludes) is manual. Right? What I like about Shreya's singing is that she gets most of the pronounciations right and with feeling. Great for a north indian singer to sing with such involvement. Tune and orchestra is vintage IR.

"Yaarukku" is another song where orchestra is vintage IR. Again looks (strings) looks manual. Prelude/Interludes are priceless.
First time I listened to these in musicindiaonline I think (when I reviewed). After that only now I am listening to it on mp3. Even then I liked it, but after listening to it on mp3, I am realizing the magic of orchestration.
thanks,
Krishnan
