Nitya, I dont think IR lifted it from Viju Shah. I think its a common source-some synthesized sound sample that both of them used. IR has better things to do than listen to Viju Shah's 7-year old albums:-) On a related note, I am upset at the heavy usage of electronic kits and synthesized sounds in place of natural instruments of late (even in MalluFM). Sign of changing times? "Unnai thedi thedi" from Konji Pesalam, a very soulful vintage IR melody has lacklustre synth-heavy interludes. Even without those interludes at all the song
would have been much better. I still listen to it though.
Hope TIS comes to the rescue.

Nitya,
Vijayr is right. I've heard that sound in many telugu songs too. You can't call it a lift.

jagannn - one rare Telugu song by IR - "Ninnu choosina" from CHinnabbaayi (1996 ?) - both pallavi and charanam have unusual beat pattern (the kind of unusualness that you wud associate with the song "Padum vanambadi" from Unnai Naan Sandhithhaen) and the interludes are akin to those from 'Ninaikkinra paadhayil' from Athma - vintage IR melody - when SPB sings
"Eee maayi marmam" in the stanza after the female version stops, you can feel honey dripping out of your CD/cassette player - and again when SPB hums an aalap as a counterpoint to the female voice towards the end of the song - the same honey dripping effect!

Thanks for reminding that song. Real classic. There is also another in the same film "Na Patallo ragalanni " a very good composition indeed.
The composing was done after the lyrics were written.IMHO IR was not comfortable with the way the lyrics were prolonged (due credit to the Director) . You will definitely experience this when you hear the songs closely.

and the director was/is good old K.Vishwanath !!

Jagan,
I've uploaded Priyatama song...
http://www.themelody.net/jukebox.htm
That's one of my all time fav.
Simple - yet melodious tune.
Especially, swarnalatha's voice adds a haunting touch to the song.
btw, I digitally enhanced that song :)
These days, I took up a small side project of digitally enhancing IR's telugu songs on Echo tapes.
Recording quality on those Echo tapes is just awful. High treble, low bass, and that tape hiss! I was never able to play them in high volume.
So, I'm enhancing those songs by applying noise reduction, FFT filter and subtle bass boost. Then an extra pass through the compressor and limiter enhances the instruments and suppresses the high pitch vocals.
Check it out and let me know.
