thiruvasakam in symphony

So long as you have this mindset of equating this with any other movie albums, there is no point of talking sense into you.
You exactly fit in with what we had mentioned in the first line of our posting.
Enough said!
YIA!!

Will you stop this crap of "holier than you" bombastic statements about this alubm.....as if it is Lord Shiva directly in communion with the masses?

If anybody who asks you questions is a Nero, then what should we call Mr. Ilaiyaraaja? Who is at present busy executing his next project with his favourite (not necessarily the world's) orchestra? I understand he is there now to record two songs for Kamal's Mumbai Express.

Will some one at least tell Mr. Ilaiyaraaja that all the film projects he has done with this orchestra so far have become huge bombs?

Have you guys noticed (came on MTV/Channel V, SS Music) the remix version of "Inji Iduppazhaga" song by singer Smitha (Pop singer??). No idea about the other songs in this album, but two things surprised me:

1) Song picturisation
2) "SONY BMG" has released the album!!

Krishnan,

Knowing abt Sony they would contend that it is a remix version of "payaliya chunmun" from Virasat by Anu Malik.

Dear Friends,

I don't understand one logic. Let it be a South Indian Album or Indian Album, the composer is the great IR. He is celebrated throught the world. Why Sony is not willing to sponsor? That too, the album is not any ordinary cinema or local album. It is an International Symphonic composition. That should have its own value. Right?

I'm very frustrated. I understand that you cannot enjoy the music when a tragedy had happened. However, you may dedicate the Album to those who lost their lives in the Tsunami.

If u guys feel the same, please share it with everyone in the Forum..

:cry: :roll:

Saisat,

The entire song is in tamil, not in Hindi. Lyrics are same (as much as I have heard). Neverthless, I would say people who do not know the fact that its IR's tune will say that Anu maliks tune has been remixed and tamil lyrics has been inserted :-)

Anyway, the point I was concerned is that its SONY BMG label! Either some amount of influence has made SONY BMG to release in their label or they must have thought that its a "REMIX", so it would certainly make some moderate business!! Also, I dont know if other songs in this album are remix aswell and if they are in tamil!

As everyone here, I am eagerly waiting for the release of TBI.

Thanks

Krishnan

Hi all!
Was casually browsing and came across the good news regarding TiO. Please visit the http://www.tis-usa.com/ for the latest. The profits of TiO sales to go to Tsunami relief funds. Looking forward to the formal announcement after pongal!! Hope that this pongal will ring in sweet sound of IR and TiO.

Dedication of all the PROFITS for Tsunami victims …

Ok…Sounds really Great. We are all aware of this.
The final product is ready for a grand marketing.
Thanks to the TIS team for taking all efforts to make it memorable.

But, still I have TWO Basic questions haunting right from the beginning.

1. Are majority of the music lovers in TN and other parts of India, Malaysia, Singapore etc, aware of such a project going on?
2. Is there sufficient advertisements in the Media for the TiO Project, by way of short TV clipping or Programs such as ‘The making of Tbo’, or any interviews with the personities involved etc in the Media?

The bitter truth is NO. The project is getting delayed for release. This Short time can be well utilized for generating an awareness among the public.

Can anybody help?

"Dedication of all the PROFITS for Tsunami victims …"
Now, thats worrying. I thought the profits were for setting up music colleges(or something on that lines) in Tamilnadu and Sri Lanka?

Thank you, Jaiganes !
YIA!!
