ஒரு கூட்டில் சின்ன கோகிலம் இரண்டு
ஒன்று கூடும் இன்று வாலிபம் பிரண்டு
எதிர்பார்க்காத வகையில் பயணிக்கும் இரண்டாவது இடை இசை.. முடிவில் அது சரணத்தோடு சேரும் அழகு..
மனோ-தேவி கூட்டணியில் அசத்தும் மெலடி.

Very nice list of songs. Thanks Nerd for Dharmayudham and skr for Darling I love you. Both are stunners to me and are on the loop now.Quote:

make no impact.

@Suresh - any mohanam songs in chal chalein ?
RR,
'thum bhi doondnaa' and a lori by Sadhana Sargam from 'Chal Chalein' would be the more typical Raja songs.
Sree Sai Dwarakapuri (Baba pugazh maalai). :musicsmile:
thanks to Agi music - via flipkart i ordered and received shree meenakshi stotram today -- goddess meenakshi entered my home today ! this is a priceless gift and thanks for making it available for us !...The devotional quotient of the music in this CD is a proof of what music means to Raaja...he has cut a piece of his soul and made this music....thats all i can say!
Vel,
More details of the 'Shree Meenakshi Stotram' album please.
Suresh, i think this CD/cassette was released orignally several years ago....but now AGI music has re-released this under their banner. I dont think the original version is now available in the market. This new version also has a bonus track on ramana maharishi ....it starts with a piece dedicated to lord vinayaga...Quote:

this is a steal for Rs.75....guys, please be wise enough to purchase this right away....
Thanks Vel. I will order it immediately.
Initially I was turned off listening to One and Two Chachacha portion and many times I didn't go past that, blame my youth. Once you get past that, you are into a disco dream world with LR Eswari singing 'Bambamba'. Again I was thinking it is another disco song from Maestro, just when NT (TMS) steps in with Bharthnatyam with carnation classical rendition, 'Aayiram sabaigalLil varuvEn'. Do I hear Brova barama or Chandrabimbathin here? It was an extended dream. Good to see NT trying some classical dance. But TMS stole the show with his great rendition. It's not all. How he easily switches back from classical to western and vice versa with he even alternates between swaras and bambamba effortlessly. :notworthy:
How Maestro taken a DNA sample from a classical raaga and paints a wonderful disco dream for us, this time we also hear the essence of the raga and when he switches to disco, how clearly Maestro demonstrates that he has not deviated from the raga to give western outfit. Still the heart of an indian in western outfit.
You can listen the complete audio version here as the video version is one minute short.

skr, this again may not fall into english song, except the starting phrase, but you can still feel the englishness to it. :wink: BTW, that was a great list, but as App mentioned, there are not much complete english songs, it will have atleast a few thamizh words, like Anjali, it is a Thanglish soundtrack. :smile:
V_S Thanks a lot for this stunner
Dont think ive heard this before
Yes , you get that englishy effect , but not sure if it does qualify to that category because the majority is in Tamil
I feel in order to qualify atleast one portion of the song should be in English , so Darling Darling also disqualified
I have my doubts whether to include or not Hey You come to Me . I think i will include it (The bass here is a peach :) )
Btw i checked on the English song posted by San_k "Love is the Meaning of my Life " , it seems it appears during the climax of Manasellam
Ok Updated list
1) Darling I Love You - Aaradhanai
2) I Want to tell You Something - Anand (Pallavi fully English , other parts Tamizh)
3) Sing Swing - Moodupani
4) Angel - Kaverimaan
5) Shake it Baby - Kali (Partly in English)
6) Aids Awareness song
7) All the Time - Nadodi Thendral
8) 1234 Now - Punnagai Mannan
9) Disco Song - Dharma Yudham
10) Love is the Meaning of My Life - Manasellam
11) Here You Come - Anand
My Pongal began by listening to this stunning Mallu Beauty
Rithubheda Kalpana from Mangalam Nerunnu
http://www.musicplug.in/multiple_son...66&page=movies
Highly addictive and highly pleasing , a great start to this festive occassion by again listening to an IR First timer
The Pallavi seems to be in Pushpalathika Ragam , someone can confirm , it seems to change from the Annupallavi onwards to a Ragamallika (i think)
The way the flute slowly enters during the first interlude with those guitar touches to be followed by the strings , pularips :)
Im not even getting into the 2nd interlude.
KJY and Kalyani Menon ooze melody all over this stunner
Vintage IR stuff
Wish all the hubbers a very Happy Pongal
skr,
I can understand your feeling. I went through the same when I discovered the Malayalam Raja, especially of the 80s. I don't think I gave you a CD having many hits of Raja's 80s Malayalam works. In case we are able to meet sometime soon, will make a copy for you.
'rithubedha kalpana' from 'Mangalam Nerrunu' is a terrific song alright. That movie also has that outstanding 'alli illam poovo'. I don't tire repeating this but if I were to choose only 'one' Raja it will be the 80s Raja in Malayalam. The amount of melody hidden in these songs is just unbeatable. He operates at a different zone altogether here.
I got this link from twitter where someone has put his list of the top 10 songs played on his ipod.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8rzG...ature=youtu.be
Not surprisingly, I don't know the top two songs. Which movies are they from?
Superb photos :-)Quote:

Very interesting (and curious!) choice of songs for the joint first place. Neither have I heard them before nor do I remember seeing this in our hubbers lists leading up to the concert.
Chinna poongili is from some obscure movie 'Parvathi ennai paaradi'
Sollava sollava is from Maha Prabhu
Thanks app and KV.
app: I know the 'Nadodi Thendral' song. I was referring to what KV had answered.
KV: I heard on twitter that Mahaprabhu was not by Raja. Supposed to be by Deva. I haven't heard the song fully to comment.
Parvathi Ennai Paaradi I think was an unexpected foray by faemily movie maker V.Sekar into romance genre. To complicate matters further, he chose Saravanan - a Captain wannabe - as the lead; yes, "romantic" lead. Some combination and ambition that! Need I spell out the result? Ok, if you insist - the first word is epic and the second word is fail. I have a love-hate relationship with the songs - I don't like them much but still cannot get myself to delete them from the hard-drive
Listened to 'Prasad' and 'Snehaveedu' yesterday. I have already written about 'Prasad' songs. From the songs you can easily guess the film will be about and Raja's music is set to enhance the film's story. As I had stated earlier, all songs are 'calm', even the fun song. Very similar to 'Nandalala' songs. Hear all three songs a couple of times.
"Snehaveedu': What can I say? Personally I rated this the best of 2011 and after every hearing I want to state the same fact even more emphatically. Shreya's voice in 'Avanithumbi', which sweetens the already sweet melody. The exciting and imaginative rhythm pattern of 'Chandrabimbathin' as well as Rahul Nambiyar's humming, Chitra and the challenging misra chapu setup of 'Chengkathir'. Raja seems to have been really inspired by the story Sathyan told him!!!
suresh,

Ushaji, naa innum PEP album full aa kEkkala. Ideally, thanks should go to Suresh (for posting this here) and the guy who'd put this up originally!

இன்று வீட்டிலிருந்தே அலுவல் வேலை செய்ய வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்ததால் 1990-ம ஆண்டு ராஜாவின் பாடல்களை கேட்டு அசை போடுகிறேன்.
அம்மன் கோயில் திருவிழா - மாஞ்சோலை கிளியிருக்கு
புலன் விசாரணை - குயிலே குயிலே கொஞ்சும் தமிழே
சிறையில் பூத்த சின்ன மலர் - ஆலோலம் பாடும் தென்றலே, வாசக் கருவேப்பிலையே, அதிசய நடமிடும் அபிநய சரஸ்வதியோ
உன்னைச் சொல்லி குற்றமில்லை - சொர்க்கத்தின் வாசப்படி
கவிதை பாடும் அலைகள் - உன்னைக் காணாமல் நானேது
அரங்கேற்ற வேளை - தாயறியாத தாமரையே (**இந்தப் பாடலின் ஆரம்பம் முதல் கடைசி வரை ஒவ்வொரு வினாடியும் நம்மை ஏமாத்தியிருக்கிறார் ராஜா. கடைசி பத்து வினாடிகள் சொர்க்கம்! சாஷ்டங்கமா விழுந்திட வேண்டியதுதான். பாடல் முழுவதுமே Medley வகையைச் சார்ந்தது)
Listened to My Dear MaarthaaNdaan album today after ages.
What excellence!
'Main' songs
uttAlakkadi - simple start so you get the idea then second geer then silambaattam. SPB - he hits it out of the park and has some to spare.
iLavattam kai thattum - the drum start, gets frenetic as proceedings heat up, trumpet enna pOdu pOduthu paar, SJ-SPB: best ever, second interlude - where the hell did that come from, the chorus at different pitches - sometimes for an entire refrain, sometimes for half-a-line - eththanai :bow:
azhagu nilavu - Mano-vai naama thittakkoodu. SFeeB irukkumbOdhu ivar edhukku Mano-vai paada vaikkiRaar. Reasonably song but nothing too captivating.
saththam varaamal - prelude announces the song is epic in scope, chorus - edhunA senjikittE irukkAinga (not just hawA hawalA raaNi - it's hilarious how sincerely they sing this gibberish :lol:), Mano - :x same comments as earlier apply.
pAkku veththalai - start, dugududagududugudu :lol: chorus, trumpet-guitar 1st interlude, second is shenai?, SPB - what a singer can bring to a song :clap: Oru sax appappo chips in with maximum effect. It's like some lazy guy sitting in a corner wants to join the party now and then.
Mini songs
aaduthu paar - yeah the voice contortion is gimmicky - but fun tune anyway
kalyANa mAppiLLaikku - enna adi!
o maharAja - lovely one. vaRavERpOm ho ho ho varavENdum ho ho ho
My Dear MarthANdaan - joy in audio format. vERa enna solla? Last night I found this song when spring cleaning my PC. Listened to it umpteen times last time. And then decided to listen to album today.
One of my favouright albums of all time :clap: :bow:
Nandhavanam poothirukkudhu - Illam
Killer pallavi, kickass ludes, some great bass lines and drumming. Strangely for a Raaja song, the charanams (where he shifts to a folkish tune and orchestration, but the blending isn't that nice, say, unlike in Poogatru pudhiranadhu) here kinda don't match up to the pallavi. Btw, there are two copies available in Thiraipaadal and both play at different tempos (one seems a bit slow and the other a little fast!). Can someone point me to a good version of this song?
Idhu ilamail ilamai - bass score, araajagam! \m/ \m/
And another from the same album - Maama maalai nEram. Myna Thambi Ramiah baashaila, adangopaththamavane!
Subashree mEdam, 'Return of Endrendrum Raaja' nu vechchu indha paattellaam select pannunga please! :yes:
WhOA! what a song!Quote:

Listened to this stunner from Echil Iravugal. I didn't know of its existence until it got uploaded to youtube by some good soul. Have listened to Poomele Veesum and Pootha Malligai before and this one is an equally beautiful song. Superbly rendered by MV & Jency. It's going to be doing the rounds a while for me.
