I am glad that IR didn't do this project, the risk is always high. KSR is the last guy as a director we should be bothered about.Quote:

welcome back.
Missing your interesting raga analysis for film songs.
Expecting to see more of such analysis from you.
It has always struck me as to why raja refuses to touch Bhairavi while he uses the allied ragas like Anandha Bhairavi and Sindhu Bhairavi regularly.
He is the non conformist who retuned Mari mari ninne who could have done atleast one song in Bhairavi. What is in Bhairavi that scares him?
Probably some situation has not yet been written in movies for Bhairavi???

Aftet Repeated listenings I feel its a fantastic album in recent times from Raaja. My order of preferance of the songs:
1.Aganthaiyil Aaduvatha
2.Abinayam Kaatugindra
3.Pularkindra Pozhuthu
4.Kallai irunthaen
5.Kaalathai Vendra
6.Chozha Vala Naadu
7.Azhagi Varraa
Enjoy :)
Thanks RS for that link...Guess the songs would fit the theme well.
Pularkindra pozhuthu gives a nice classical feel.
Kallai irunthen is a nice melody.
On the whole,the album is in the lines of IRs' malayalam ones of recent times.This is the feeling i got on the first hearing.
RS,
Thanks for doing this.
To me..
1. Kallai irunthen
2. kaallathai vendra
3. Alaiyellaam Chozha
worst - Azhagi varaa
others are not 'hummable'. Maybe needs repeated listening.
Is Sriram a good choice? I am not an expert i carnatic music (like Vel :-) )- but his voice was not very good in several places in songs. Not enough depth in the voice.
When I listened to the samples I was yawning. Now listening to the full album, definitely classic & good stuff. Will it go with the current kuthu pattu loving mass ... doubt it.
The only song that made me think "oh no...why this (type of) song in this album" was "Azhagi Varra". "Alaiyelaam" was fine. All other songs impressed me one way or the other (either the classical stuff and/or the melody).
My order of preference is:
1) Aganthaiyil. Liked the way IR interspersed with dialogues and how seamlesly he introduced the mridangam, flute, udukkai, etc. bits (to match with the dialogues). I liked Sriram's singing.
2) Kaalathai Vendra: Loved the melody. Although the orchestration supplements the melody, I wonder how it will suit the period.
3) Kallai Irundhen: Liked the melody. Again, wondering how the orchestration will suit the period.
4) Abhinayam: Nice classical song with some nice orchestration (especially the ending).
5) Pulargindra: Another melody based song. I somehow got a little uncomfortable when Sriram sounded more casual in improvisation. Another strange thing was his voice sounded different in various places (even when he repeats a phrase).
6) Alaiyelaam: Just when I was thinking how come Madhu Balakrishnan is not used. Here he is. An okay song I would say.
I liked Sriram's singing (excepting those voice and little improvisation in "Pulargindra" song)
The album could have been more classical based (including the orchestration), but I guess IR did not want to make it like that (for whatever reason).
After repeated listening, maybe it is a situation based song - I don't think IR could have missed the lack of depth in Sriram's voice.Quote:

Infact, the famed series of articles by Srirangam Lakshminarayanan tocuhes upon this point...
