Kamal-Ilayaraaja-Singeetham Rao-MUMBAI EXPRESS

I don't know why people find it disppointing ...
This is PURE jazz stuff ..Something which has not been experimente extensively in the TFM ..

Jazz stuff are like this - The first few times u hear it - Its a real headache ,...when i heard some of the Miles Davis stuff i was irritated ..but after multiple listenings ,it was superb ....

Kurunku Kayil Malai,Theme music 2 - Just pure Jazz Bliss !!!!!!

I assure you that after 4-5 listenings ,u will be mad with Jazz !!!!

PURE BLISS!!!!

I throughly enjoyed the music ....!!!

MumbaiRamki dont get disappointed, I was just expressing my view at first hearing. I am (die hard - hard core) IR and KAMAL fan, and I am sure it will grow on me. Now that I listened to it multiple times, I liked

Kurunku Kayil Malai
Theme Music (both 1 & 2)
Vandemataram bit
Yalay nee othi po

like you said, it will (should) grow on me. Let me listen thru out tonight. I am waiting for the CD since CD will have better sound effect (man each and every instrument you can clearly hear in digital recording, why didnt IR use this 10 years back) and hoping to sell in big nos.

Jazz written all over it .... more of New Age - Jazz fusion. At places I see Jazz - Modern Rock fusion. Man this man's limits are boundless. Interested in seeing if the HFM folks will be able to grasp such a kind.

MX rocks big time ----> I am midway listening - this will be an epoch-making album in IR's long list of landmark albums -

Man,jazz with Indian classical(!) in "poo poothathu" - Mumbai has lots of jazz enthusiasts - hope this album is received well

the theme is amazing jazz - I doubt it has been attempted anytime before in Indian film music!

Watch Sony TV's 'Chartbusters'daily at 7pm.The trailers are also on Star plus,saw 30sec ones a lot yesterday.

By the way is the audio available in shops?

I went to sankara hall on saturday(2nd april) . I asked Mumbai express and they replied that they don't have it. I picked up "Maaya Bazaar" and "Yaar payyan" though :-) :lol:

Then I think Kamal's decision to start a audio company has not been well thought out&has been made at the last minute.By the time he has his network of distributors,dealers in place April 14th would have come&the film itself released.If it does well,the music will pick up&viceversa.He has missed out on an oppurtunity to sell a good amount of pieces b4 the film's release or is he just happy about the adv order of 1,75000 he claims to have received?Anyway the common fan like me is disappointed at this poor marketing.Hope the film atleast compensates.

mumbaixpress, thanks a zillion for the links...

just downloaded one song for now....."poo poothadhu"...man....this is really refresshing stuff...IR has lots in stock I guess. Guys...you will notice very different IR...you must listen to it. As MumbaiRamki says....PURE JAZZ. Again agree with MumbabRamki that I have not heard many try this kind of JAZZ stuff. I can see Sonu putting extra effort in pronouncing tamil well. He has sung very well. The other singer should be Shreya. Shaan's humming is very good too. Will post more comments later.

Thanks again

Which of these are recorded in Hungary?

Maaaaaaaaaaan, I just heard the 2nd interlude for aelay nee and am rushing to write this - awesome jazz! How could Kamal stop with just 4 songs?!!! Songs are on the net already, ippom eppadi kamal is going to sell cds and cassettes I dont know! Already I am sure everyone has exceeded their puthaandu music budget by rushing to buy Chandramukhi and Sachin!

And now I am hearing poo poothathu! Who can compose a romantic duet like Raaja? The last 2 days I have been hearing ARR's Bose - a forgotten hero. Between these 2 chennai stalwarts, North Indians are going to get a good dose of top class music in the next few weeks, whether they want it or want.

ME has certainly taken orchestration in film music to a totally whole level!

More when I have heard it a few more times!
