Let Raja's music soar in any direction or in any form!
I will enjoy the compositions that I emotionally connect & cherish them !:musicsmile:
For me big symphony band from Mars playing the album is irrelevant & insignificant!

Great to see the energy & passion among hubbers in posting their views about NEPV, I think it will continue for a while for sure. I have been listening to NEPV at any given opportunity & time and am not skipping any song but playing lots of songs more than once. My kid has now warmed up to Mudhal Murai, seems to like the Nee Thaane En Pon Vasantham line in particular, her other favorites being Kaatrai Konjam & Yennodu Vaa Vaa.
peNgaL endRaal - what an effing brilliance. the rage, the angst - terrific. Yuvan is the perfuuct choice. Have guitars revolted EVER like this before?
"enna solli... enna peNNE.." those lines - murky guitar riffs - not the ones punctuating these lines but the ones lurking in the background. What madness!

indeed music is a matter of taste!
but I tell you
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FOR FILM MUSIC is not a reason enough for few people to embrace whatever IR offers, though let him offer what he conceives spontaneously!
same time I am so dreaming how wonderful it would be somebody arranges with symphony big band with S.P.B live concerts around the world in all languages-several composers, he is in good form still! (Rafi Resurrected is fantastic concert by 2008 by Sonu nigam! I cherish the CDs)

Mel was mentioning few reasons while he disagreed for the review.
one was SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FOR FILM MUSIC.
It is the continuation of that conversation..
senthil was saying somethibg, i posted something... so..
you carry on....
you enjoy NEPV:musicsmile:
unfortunately I posted something, went away for 3 hrs baseball, returned now, posting reply!
didn't mean to obstruct your enjoyment... though it is!
We are done!
Exactly. This album is being enjoyed INSPITE of all the hype, not because of it. Infact there were lot of critics here (including I) of GVM's over 'paduththal' and 'over publicity'. But once the album has been released, all that vanished. This is an album to which no hype can do justice. And songs like 'pudhikala mamu', 'pengal enral', 'mudhal murai' don't really depend on symphonic orchestration.Quote:

Especially the chords on keys/piano. This is a jam band gem. Imagine how the musicians would have felt while recording this song? The tune and the breezy 'lightness' of Karthik's singing belies the awesomeness of the music (charanam culmination la tune-um poondhu vilaiyaadum, adhu vera vishayam)
Remember how sceptical I was about the album wen Saindhu Saindhu teasers and over publicity was going on. I had my own doubts about GVM's taste (given his previous preferences for more of casual-hummable-easy numbers in his films, as compared to complex melodies). But once the album came out, these things didnt come into picture at all. Also, symphony orchestra is just a canvas on which he painted his imagination well. Its not the only strength. The magic is in tunes itself like in sattru munbu, mudhal murai. Its the tune which with which he surprised us. And I have gushed enough positives about Pengal endraal - the song that I hated in the 1st listening.
This is not the usual Ilaiyaraaja album.
I think some people are totally lost/caught up with sharing more opinions and counter-opinions here and in other platforms. Guys, use all that time to enjoy the album. Relax. Let it sink in. Because you will not have more time later to do... for the genius will roll out Gundello Godari in barely a month. This is why the frequency of my posts here has come down in last 2 days :-)

Neethaane En Ponvasantham perfect rendition of melody, trance... from ndtv
Pool choices should have checkboxes not option buttons which will allow to pick only one choice :). Probaly I will check/select all songs :adhu:
Bala(K),
chords ellam we must ask someone like V_S or Ravi Natrajan. Yes, what you say is perfectly right. It is a riot and if you ask a band to jam, they will be maha thrilled. It is almost as if the song has been made for the bands to play and enjoy themselves.
Positive review but.... What the hell they mean by this Sattru Munbu: ...The composition is clearly done and never does the listener feels the music and voice are overlapping.Quote:

Gautham Vasudev Menon is back with RS Infotainment and Photon Kathaas' Needhane En Pon Vasantham (You are My Golden Spring), a title that forms part of a classic romantic chartbuster of yesteryear.
It is also the first time he joins hands with maestro Ilaiyaraja, the master of melodies, whose romantic numbers defined the seventies, eighties and nineties. He blends his music with the words of Na Muthukumar.
Here's a quick review of the album:
Gentle guitar strings kick off Saindhu Saindhu as Yuvan Shankar Raja begins the song. Female lead Ramya NSK arrives in the middle of the song.
The lyrics fit the bill, musing upon the many splendours of a loved one. It's safe to say that the interludes are far more appealing than the vocal segments with their instrumental arrangements, especially the violin.
Katrai Konjam begins as vintage Ilaiyaraja as Karthik goes all out, bringing out an eighties romantic number, complete in every note.
Ominous notes kick off Mudhal Murai, rendered by the surprisingly solid voice of Sunidhi Chauhan [ Images ]. It takes you aback a little with its aggressive onslaught. It's a radically different number.
The chorus of Vaanam Mella kicks of melodiously as Ilaiyaraja blends his voice with Bela Shinde to provide a song that flutters around on romantic wings. It's a throwback to his Pithamagan days -- soothing, but oft-heard for all that.
Pudikkala Maamu is a lot more youthful with its ranting and raving about colleges, books and how tiresome the teenage years are.
It's a perfect recreation of the early nineties Raja college numbers, sung by Suraj Jagan and Karthik. Later, the track changes abruptly to a folksier tempo. It's nostalgic certainly, but not really scintillating.
Karthik sings Ennoda Va Va, the Ilaiyaraja number that ticks all the boxes: nostalgia, gentleness, romance, and a gentle humour not to mention a steady beat that never intrudes upon the vocals.
Yuvan Shankar Raja starts off Pengal Endraal with a yell, a rant against women, love and other such gentler emotions.
It's full of synthesised music, plenty of anguish, and embodies aggression in every way, though some gentleness puts in an appearance occasionally. It doesn't quite rouse you to the same passion.
Satru Munbu begins quite dramatically but settles down to something mellower, and Ramya NSK's voice is very effective in expressing anguish. Easily the best number of the collection.
It's been touted as the album which sees the maestro back in the saddle of Thamizh film music, so to speak. Certainly, Needhane En Pon Vasantham's numbers are vintage Raja, and bring a sharp sense of nostalgia, what with their skillful instrumental arrangement. But pleasant as they are, they don't quite achieve the brilliance we have come to expect from him. Perhaps that's a case of expecting too much from a legend.
The album may not be scintillating, but it's a pleasant listen.
Singer Srinvas's short review on NEPV
http://www.facebook.com/srinivas.dor.../4145857778747
Srinivas Doraiswamy
Finally heard NEPV album.. One of the most amazing albums of Raja sir.. Because it is a new Raja,not the 80s Raja,who I love too.. The way he has run amok with strings and horns is crazy.. No one else here(with the exception of ARR who does it totally different) could have done this.... Satru munbe has to be one of the greatest songs ever and what singing by Ramya... Kaatrai Konjam is ravishing too(Karthik sings with passion after usure pogudhe ).. Every song is a delight and done with a freshness and all live..no synth.. The sore point is Saayndhu could have been sung by professionals who take care of their voice and notes. The Sunidhi song is great too and the one Raja sir himself sings,you can listen to again again for the orchestral interludes... This one is just about music.. And not about whether the mids and highs are fine... Thanks,gautam menon.. Saashtaanga pranaamam to Raja sir...
In my opinion the dhristi pariharam in this album is yennodu vaa vaa,which sounds dated

To those who think Yuvan voice is the opt choise for saainthu saainthu as it emotes the laziness well.. Simple question. Does it mean you support the approach of making one disable person to act in a scene insted of one fine actor acts like disabled? How about a real person from street acting in role of appu in AS?
I thought those lines belong to sakala as it appears in normal whereas other lines in BOLD.Quote:

It is still alcohol (although beer)...
WARNING : I'll do a long post on EVV today!
Rediff review has negligible effect on what is going on with this album :) So ignore it.
Oh! it deserves :)Quote:
