I think this Vinod is not that Vinod!

Here is YVM Music Box!

"Naan avan illai.." :)) Well.. there is someone with the same name. I hardly watch any movies.. My world is just Raaj's music and nothing else...

orE conpees pa!

I think this Shank is not that Shankar.

Oh. Ok.. That Vinod has a 's suffixed IIRC. Orey kanpeesanappa.. :)

V_S, this Shank is that Shankar. App_engine's comment seemed to be sarcastic. That's why I was confused as to why he felt that way since I was an ardent Raja fan...there are many who can vouch for that here.

This is just my assumption. Maybe app_engine did not mean it in that way...in that case, case vaapas vangikiren :-)

I am always excited to hear how Maestro finishes the charanam and connects to pallavi. I bet no one can finish like him. Either it gets extended and extended only to stop somewhere abruptly or goes somewhere beyond reach unable to comeback or somehow manages to connect with some vague arrangements. This is one of the best strength of Maestro which is not discussed much. Maestro just needs two bars to reach to pallavi/anupallavi wherever he is coming from. Here he doesn't need that too as he connects to pallavi intelligently with zero bar, yes immediately. See how it is. When Ramya sings 'kaalam vandhu vandhu kOlam idum' it so high and you will never know the next line is actually an indirect connect to pallavi, as the next line is nothing but the anupallavi lines; 'un kaNNai paarthaale'. This is exactly the same as 'viralOdu viral pEsa'. Suddenly he drops from higher pitch to anupallavi lines with amazing ease. If you hum the line, kaalam vandhu vandhu kOlam idum, confidently we can say the next line would also be similar in the higher pitch, but Raja does a big surprise by attaching anu-pallavi tune in the next line which is way off the mark from the earlier line, but how it gets attached successfully is still a puzzle to me.

V_S,

Wonderful breakdown of Saindhu Saindhu. I especially liked your explanation for this saranam connection to Pallavi. It is something I like to watch out. MSV sir, also goes crazy with this saranam-pallavi connection in his songs. Raja has bit more restriction because he is also trying to create a western classical layer on top these saranam-pallavi innovation. In a sense, Raja is trying to have the cake and eat it too! Like you said it is Raja's talent to make this work effectively and aesthetically pleasing.


App_engine,

I read your review. Excellent review. Thanks for giving me some support on Pengal Yendral :)

Haaaa. I see. How did you find it?

Could also explain the reason Raja dropped that type of orchestration in the latter part of the song. It is weird to quote myself but I did wonder why he dropped that horn touch later in the song during my first impression post.

"Great beginning. The way catchy pallavi climaxes is so good. The interludes touches different mood compared to tune. Only guess is, it matches the film situation. The musical touch in the Pallavi is intoxicating, I was expecting that touch throughout the song, but Raja charts a different course and drops that touch when Pallavi repeats. It could be as simple intensifying the song for situational reasons."

I don't think Raja has one random bone in him. Everything has a reason. Even a tiny silence b/w two notes.

Now I'm gonna try making a prediction. Let's see if I get facepalm or highfive ;) In the interludes our hero is probably chasing our heroine or trying to woo her by doing some cutesy lovey-dovey stuff. In the Saranam he goes back his dreamland (although there could be more hero-heroine interaction in the 2nd charanam) Basically the scenes could be intercut between hero in dreamland/dancing around scenes with interacting with heroine in interludes.

senthilv.com, The footages of this song was shown! Thus saying! This song's video has mild humor interlaced! Lyrics kettaale theriyum :)

Nandri heh. Am following that thread, albeit a bit behind.

:oops:
:oops:

mannikkavum. I thought its him and I definitely posted in a very positive way and was jumping with joy :-)
(He has certain things common to vijayr but also key differences - in the sense more focus on orch than melody; I think he isn't a big fan of most of IR's recent output except PR - especially 'kaNNukkuLLE' he calls 'maNNukkuLLE':lol:)

Second part of "Pudikkala maamu" (karthik part): I think this is picturised on train (Guess based on Lyrics :))

In the GVM interview, IR was talking about a song, where the tempo was fast paced, than originally planned and that GVM was surprised on the recording. IR said, he turned to GVM and told him this will be right. Is this reference to "mudhal murai" song?

So much to learn from him. abaaram! :clap:

---

V_S,

I had read BR's article and thought it was nice. Only now after you pointed out, I read the comments of vijayr. I did not want to comment there because he seems to have a jaundiced view now. Nothing from Raja is going to satisfy him or people of his ilk. Best thing is to ignore.

app,

I think you are mistaken. It is not the old time Shankar there. I think it is our own Shank who posts there regularly. And anyway, why would I even want to care about old timers, new timers etc. This album is of such intensity that all these people are of no consequence to me. They are after all people who can just casually pass a comment. We are talking here about an extraordinary work of one of the greatest artist India has ever seen. What is old time Shankar likes it or not, old timer Vijay likes it or not or new times some joker likes it or not. Forget all of them and drown in this music. What they are missing is their problem :D

I'm not a drummer). This is unusual and I have never heard this kind of beat before. Its hard to miss it. I think its played every 8th note?

Vinod,

Today also I have just been listening to the drumming. Outstanding, 'abaaram' and all that. No words. This fellow is excellent.

Horrible review. I don't mean that the rating is bad, but her criticism is so meh. No real insight on why she thinks that her so called expectation was not met.

adangoyya,

Pleasant aah? Do these people have ears? As my friend @arulselvan said on twitter, this is probably one of Raja more darker album. (I told him that 'thandavakone' was darkest). Something they listen, something they write. And 3 stars koduthirukkaanga ammani :lol:
