I am convinced that i can sell atleast 100 more albums.
I contacted Tamil mayyam today for more CD's - they have sold out too :D
I enquired about the sale at other outlets -'Music world at spencers plaza has sold 850 CD's on june 1st iteslf...
Landmark has sold more than 500 CD's on the same day of release...
More consignements are coming in today to markets :)
IMO At this rate the initial expectation of selling 3 lakhs Units in first 3 months will be met in first week it self :)
We should thank all media for supporting this project in grand scale. Radio mirchi, ananda vikatan, the hindu etc., especially for giving a big hype to the album.

Hope father.jegath keeps up his Promise - that if we can reach the required sales he can convince IR to bring out more such albums every six months :)

Thalaivaa adutha symphony'kku ready aayidunga we fans are there always with you. But next one we need it to be pure instrumental please......

Thanx rajasaranam,

But i heard about only one lakhs album has been produced for the first phase of selling. Is it true?. If it is true, konjam late-a vanganumnu ninacha kidakkathaa?

I dont know abt this. If its true i think their strategy is wrong - its better to sell AMAP during the initial period itself.....
BTW yaean lateaa vaanganum :? Sikiram vaangi isaiyil moozhgungal :)

After repeated hearings.....

The album is not entirely new in my perception. it is RAJA stamp all over the album. The album reminds me more of yesteryear IR compositions. The only difference is that, the orchestration is performed by BSO. Apart from that the album is a treat for lovers of 80's IR which had rich orchestral and choral backing. The album on the whole makes me yearn for such orchestrations in his film songs too which he has lessened in the post 97 scenario. Its all Synths only nowadays for his film music. This album proves beyond doubt that IR can still give us the orchestration and his trademark tunes for which most of his fans are longing for, AIMHO :)

BTW anybody noticed the music which comes in 'polla vinayaen' at the fag end ' just before 'Easan adi potri...' I heard it in 'Kadhal kondaen' as BGM.....

If it comes in Rediff it will be great
but right they are busy analyzing top 5 heroines of tamil cinema :cry:

It would have been great to have got the CD today...so that we can peacefully listen to it during the long weekend...but guess we cannot expect too much.

murali - all CDs ordered through tis-usa.com (Paypal) were shipped from NC.

Hello,

Any chance that they are in stores in Boston area or distributed by someone?. Just wondering if we can get a copy before the mail arrives on july 5th or 6th.

Bhanu.

Please keep a paper and pen next to you when you hear this divine music for the first time and immediately after hearing the second song in the Cd, please turn of your system and write whatever feelings that occurred to you then.
We will select the best entry and the winner will be given a memorable gift !

Of all the blank papers which one will you select for a winner :? :)

Anyway this is my 300th post and i waited for this post to be a one to praise my Raja.

May TIS be a grand success and we shall get a symphony from IR every 6 months as Fr. Jegath had said :)

Rajasaranam sir, TISK will select mine, just because after looking at the poster last week I wrote one "kavithai" and I am not even an amature poet. So after listening to TIS, I will get call from all over to write lyrics for movies!!!!

I lost this competition. My blind is blank. I am still trying to fit "Polla vinayaen" in my mind, but could not. Like suresh reviewed, this is probably the most complex composition I have listened to. Gladly, I had a very nice music system, so I could see atleast 20 different instruments in this song. I wonder how a musician in general will decide on the usage of instruments when composing a song, which needs a seperate topic/discussion, but as far as TIS goes, I need to listen atleast 100 times before I can correlate what I know in the world so far with this.

BTW no one mentioned this (surprisingly), but Poovar Senni Mannan was another mind blowing song. When I first played the CD, I increased my volume littlebit (more than the usual volume I keep for "BEAT" songs) because I thought its going to be mild/slow songs, more like slokas, but when the song started it just blowed my heart. It has lot of inspiration from the way they read "Sama Vedam".

The last piece "putril vaazharavam" is a case in point for "IR's composing technique"!!!
It was lyrics for tune surprisingly !! as IR himself explains it in the album.
IR's voice suits the album 199%
And BTW I bought 3 CDs, one for my parents, one for my in-laws and one for myself.
The thumbee song is set in Tilang raagam (IMO, maybe inaccurate). The raaga is the MSV beauty "Kangal Inge" from Karnan. Oh what a beautiful song! All 6 songs are superb.
IR's musical breeze blows the wind out of artificial plastic music, while lifting the listener gently like a leaf lifted to the top of a building.
