Plum,
As you can expect, when you talk about 80s Malayalam Raja I have to put my attendance :) Outstanding melody that one is. A Malayali friend of mine once called me from Palaghat to just ask one question, "why is 'kiliye kiliye' not as famous as 'thumbi vaa'? This is an equally superb song. What orchestration, what melody' " I didn't know what to say but later it so happened that lot of people were calling me and asking me such questions for so many songs. The other day one person was talking in glowing terms about one song and asked me, "Can you guess me which song I am talking about?" Obviously what he spoke would apply to 100s of songs. In the end, he said, "devanin kovil".. And I said, "that too".
'Aa Raathri' also has that wonderful 'ee neelima than'. Whenever Jesudas goes "ee sandhya pogunna dhreebugalil" and the humming follows it is almost time to die!!

aivagai malargalai...... is a vintage ilayaraja.
some ethereal female solos from kalai paniyil...... , azhagiya kanney.... to

tinge of longing pathos and joy with flute, tabla, strings.. magical!
songs like this keep some of us forever trapped with early ilayaraja! Lucky us! http://www.mayyam.com/talk/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
Very good song.. actually all the songs in this movie are good. "Early" IR songs seems to have lots of counterpoints ..it kind of decreased .. and came back as full-fledged grand orchestrations in the 2000s.Quote:

thumburu,
Here it is, but there is noise, I could not remove fully.
Full version of Sandhanamittu. Not great quality, but still very good. Killer guitar tracks. What a song!

This site has all songs full version except the Kanne Nee Enge, but noisier again. If you are interested.

Neehee's, Canton MI is a Gujarati veggie fastfood place and I stopped by last AN to get some "carry-out" (ofcourse, it does not have drive thru).
One orders / pays / gets a number and waits till called, to get the food.
There was this TV that showed Aussies' 2nd inn - hitting without restraint to increase the lead, not worrying about losing wickets etc - before declaring with a target of 500.
There was this audio system that kept playing some "routine" indhi song that was hitting my ears but not getting in.
Then suddenly something happened, the sounds from the audio stormed into my brains and matched some "stored patterns" there, raising goosebumps!
Unmistakable rAsA! How come rAsA sounds here in this totally unexpected place, in USA - in a northie cafe :roll:
Interesingly, it was not the prelude of the song but the first interlude (as I recognized later, it was some radio station playing and not a local music system)!
The song? My favourite "punch-bag" number :oops: yEh zindagi!
I felt like sitting in some TN-bus or some obscure tea-shop in a TN village!
sila nimida sorgam!
Yes, maybe around that time-frame, I am not good with the dates, but I do see a pattern in the WCM usage. It is as though IR thought what he was doing was silly and cut down on using bits-and-pieces of WCM techniques and tried to do more holistic treatment - one good example would be enna solli pAduvatho - from en mana vaanil (2002). BTW, There are folks here who really know WCM. But I am the one who probably talks more (knowing little) - a arai kudam :-) .Quote:

IVAN, PONMEGALAI etc...
I remember, I got only cassettes during my India trips, I was very upset, couldn't find cds.

I love this 'therattipaal' sweet very much. This is one special sweet where my tongue never gets tired of eating. There are other sweets which die down quickly in their taste. This is one sweet which I cannot stop eating one or two. I need atleast a bowl. :wink: Fearing that, no one in my family brings that sweet to me or make that sweet much at home too. Neverthless I enjoy its taste in many Maestro's compositions. This is one of them which can beat all others too in sweetness. Just imagine if a little sweet can remain in our senses after long time since we had, how long this composition should remain in our heart? For a endless time period.
Just when prelude starts with bass guitar, flute and veena and Jayachandran starts singing 'Maa...an' (a pause) 'kidaavae...e nin nenjum orambetru', there itself we are lost and the sweetness lingers till the end. Anu-pallavi and the pallavi with improvisation which starts after that, you cannot stop rewinding this piece. Wonderful communication between guitar and flute in the interlude. We are very lucky to hear such wonderful music. Charanam tops them all. Sweetness beyond imagination. Second interlude is again a mood stealer with guitar and solo violin.
DEva paathangaLE thEdum theerthangaL naam...Aha what a line and how sweetly composed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToRKeabzuDE
If suppose Maestro asks my wish, what kind of song I would like him to compose, definitely I would choose this song. Simple tabla percussion with minimal orchestration. Just this tabla can surely beat any modern percussion instruments. The soul in this tabla could not be replaced by any other synth instruments. Please hear it to believe it. Great great singing by Jayachandran.:notworthy: No wonder he got offended with kolaveri di as a singing performance. A tune to die for. There is sweetness in every bit of this tune. There is unpredicability at every corner. Every bit of this tune and singing is enough for me to forget my favorite therattipaal.

V_S, count me in on taking bowls of therattuppal and never get tired of it :P As usual, a picturesque description that helps appreciate the song at another level. :clap:
venkkiram, cool two picks! Listening to them, for a moment, I forgot the theruttupal urge itself..
V_S,
Lovely song that. Infact that song sound more 'Malayalam' than most of other Raja's Malayalam songs. The pallavi has a touch of Salilda. This movie also had another nice song 'arike arike'.
Venki,
Two lovely picks. The first one, 'gangai aatril' always reminds me of 'unni aaraariro' which A T Ummer tuned for 'Avalude Raavugal'. The beginning seems to have some similarities. Later it develops as a pure Raja song. The 'thennan keetrum' song is a favorite of mine. Mayamalavagowla, which is anyway Raja's 'soththu'. I have an Oriental CD which has songs with 'thendral' in the pallavi. Whoever did the selection is truly a connoisseur for sure.
Nerd,

A really nice divine number rendered by Maestro in Hamsadhwani Ragam 'Anandha Kanden' from the Kannada Devotional album Honnina Therinali.
Dedicating this song to our Suresh who is celebrating his B'day today.
Wishing you a very Happy B'day :)

My gift for you is a folk song of Raja from manvaasanai movie. "adi mookkiyara mookkamma"

Enjoy your day with this ever green Kuthu song!
oh. suresh ku happy birth day va. Happy Birth day Suresh.
Engae irundhai isaiyae - Ilaiyaraja version from Ajantha................. birth day song to Suresh.
http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.ph...R00028&lang=en
wow! wow! :bow: :bow:. What a rollercoaster tune and sparkling orchestration! I'm almost 99.99% sure this one's by IR... can't think of another composer who can throw in these many aspects in such 'precise' proportions! That's where is the unimitable Raaja stamp in this song. Like Suresh had said earlier today, MMG is one of Raaja's forte... and he's quite easily is the Raaja in this fort!Quote:

Thanks RR, skr, KV. From yesterday evening till today morning, I would listened to that song atleast 50 times. It was so endearing!

Very Happy birthday Suresh ji! :D
