Oru Yaatra Mozhi is indeed a superb album. The film starred Sivaji, Mohan Lal & Ranjita and was directed by Prathap Pothen.
My favorites from the album are Ponveyilile and Thai Maavin Thanalil...superb compositions. Both are incredibly orchestrated as well, almost as a demonstration of Raja's genius.
Great.. :bluejump:
dig
Aathma.. again a fine album from IR.
Innarul tharum anna poorani... is Gowdamalar classical touch T.N.shesha gopalan...Saarasamukha sakala....devi krithi... nice shenoy, flute orchestration.
kannale kaadhal kavidhai....romantic kalyani.
vilakku vaippom... Janaki with chorus is a rhythmic delight.
again tribal, folk orchestration .

vinatha. :)
app_eng,
Being a guy closely associated with Mallu land, it is indeed a jailable offense if you have not yet heard 'oru yatra mozhi'. It is a gem of an album and stands equal to his best Malayalam albums. An amazing melody based album which also showcases some of the best work Raja has done on the synthesizer. This is one album which gives a different take on how synthesizer can be used in a way to touch your heart.
It has 5 songs in all, one of them 'kaakala kannamma' seems to be a fun. All others drip with melody.
'thaimavin thanalil' and 'ponveyilile' cannot be described. Fantastic melodies with Chitra and Sreekumar doing a great job. (Vinatha, if I am not wrong, 'ponveyilile' is also a duet.) 'Manjulum Raatri' is a very touching song and this is the song which makes you wonder if synthesizer can be used in such a nice way. Jayachandran does a fabulous job. 'eri kanal katril' has two versions, one by MSV, which he sings in his typical style and one by Raja. Again a very nice song. So you homework is, listen to these songs once :) Multiple listens is something which will automatically happen :D

I remember my wife's relatives who had visited us, an elderly couple. They were so fascinated with the songs that they wanted to buy the tape. I passed on my tape to them and got another one. (Luckily it was available in Bangalore during those times.)
Thanks app for further info on Prathap Pothen's movies. I was more thinking of the movies which he directed where he might have played the project manager role with full freedom. EVK is one fine example.
Athma has refreshing scores - Ninaikindra Pathayil, Kannaale Kathal Kavidhai and the mystic Vizhakku Vaippom.
Need to listen to Oru Yaatra Mozhi as Suresh & Vinatha have spoken very highly of it. Never thought it was in the same level as Guru.
