IR's New albums - Ver 2008

Yes, I also thought of mentioning "Oru sandhana kaatukkulle".. the flower arrangements like a garden was superb !.

And the song "Nattu vaccha rosaa chedi.." from Aranmanai Kili. It takes you straight to the place where it was shot. the western ghats in the back ground, the traditional dance of the villagers, the village orchestra sitting right there at the spot and playing their instruments, and on top of everything the natural shyness the heroine expresses so beautifully..For a guy like me who was borught up in city, this song is a virtual travel to some village in Madurai district along the western ghats..:)

For "En rasavin manasile", IR told RK that this movie does not need any songs and he will do only the BGM. But RK insisted for songs and the result we all know !

Rajkiran also acted a movie with Vijayakumar's daugher - forgot the name of the movie though. IT had a song - sandhanam thechachu en mama'. I also think MD was KR :)

For example Time did have synth and yet it was superb ! The trouble is not synth but IR gives some repetitive and boring synth in some movies. COnsider the disco songs he dished out after 95-the ones that stood out where the one where he excelled in experimentation. ( somnehow i m mad with saathu nadai saathu , its damn good)

Yes!!! IR's mix of synth and live orchestra during the 80's were terrific! His usage of Synth is very unique, I cant remember many composers writing melodies for synth, yet IR wrote notes as if they were just another live instrument. Ofcourse, in the recent past there is nothing much to talk about. :(

Rajkiran loves IR music . He is a big fan & thondar of Isainyani . He must have considered it as the biggest honour when IR scored music for his movies. So, he must have meticulously planned on picturisation.

Kuyil paattu vandhadhu >. for Meena , one of the very best of IR

'azhagAna manjappuRA' & 'veeNaikku veeNakkunju' were two more nice songs from the same movie.

I loved the vadivelu song "Ettana Iruntha" (superb ludes) and "Thothukudi Muthu Muthu" too :)

In "aranmaNai kiLi", "vaan madhiye" and "rasave unnai vida matten" easily secure a berth among the top 50 female solos of raja. Listen to the tune flow in their charanam. Melody simply oozes out

Also add Parijatha poove , reminds me of Nan sirithal deepavali !

If I remember correctly, Rajkiran was the one who gave the title "ராக தேவன்" (Raga Devan) to IR.
