I know! Landmark is the place!
Sankara hall not selling older albums due to some IR's legal suit issues, I understand!
But what's the problem with NANDHALALA- was a new album by 2010, during my visit, they told me that they carry NO IR music!:roll:
New albums kku what problems?
or
IR & sankara hall have their own issues?
anyway...thanks Kamesh!
Of course, I buy on-line too.
sonnen... aasaiyaa ennudiaya small pleasures!:-D
sankara hall was raided and that is when they decided that they wont sell any IR cds for that matter. Whether new or old they would not sell it. They still maintain it
Dhinakar Rajaram and i went there a couple of months back and they asked us to leave the place when we asked for IR audio cds. Sadly people near IR dont realise this and within a couple of years the market will be totally devoid of this genius's works
what non-sense, just asking for IR music cd, they asked you to leave!:roll: Sorry, Kamesh
They were polite to me!
devoid of IR's works...
It won't happen completely.
mp3s are available everywhere!
nethikku release aara pattu inni sayangalam mood kku vara maatengudhu..
Tamizh makkal appo film songs kku engey povanga!
Only at the end of civilization, Raja pattugal tapes, cds, mp3s kanamal pogum! TRUST ME!
Ppl like us, hooked to PC, we have lots of options. Offline ppl i guess only way is buy unofficial Raja DVDs only.
we are not talking about right and wrong here!
Ir's songs extinct aaradhu...NO WAY!
what do you mean, people near IR!Quote:

At the end, who makes decision for him, his affairs.... avar dhaaney!
last article I read about this issue..
http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/...ticle75875.ece
I had a conversation/discussion with a composer friend of mine who lives near Nashville, Tennessee - abt IR!
I had fwded some links to him - and he immediately contacted me - gist of what he told me:
1. Who is this composer ? I have worked with some Indian musicians but never heard of him!
2. Bach's music is the closest to Indian/Eastern music - there are many structural components that I think bear resemblances to eastern music - its no wonder that IR (he called him by the full name though!) could see it as well - I have composed a few pieces using Bach's techniques with Turkish music!
3. after listening to main track 'How to name it ?', 'I met Bach in my house' and 'composers breath' - he went nonstop 'beautiful! just beautiful' !
4. Western classical music is far easier to master than Indian classical music - for someone to have mastered both and used them in this manner, he must be special !
irir123, as always, good job!:thumbsup::ty:
I know how annoying this lack of IR cd's in shops is. This problem has started since AGI music was handed over the rights to all of Raajs's works from 1976 to 2000. In my opinion AGI has made a total mess of things. Initially, I thought they were quite professional, but they have turned to be the total opposite. Atleast, when Oriental records had the rights, they used to make CD's available everywhere and even the quality used to be decent (especially with the 24-bit remastered CD's). But this AGI is just sitting with all the rights and doing nothing. They released some compilations with so-so audio quality. These compilations don't end up in stores either. You have to buy them online. They have realsed a large number of film albums but only in nokia OVI again with a so-so quality.(sounds like a direct transfer from echo tapes to mp3). Downloading from Nokia ovi is possible only for those having a nokia mobile. Can you imagine my frustration when even upon repeated requests to AGI they have not done anything to ensure availability of these albums on other sites like cdbaby or amazon. The only good thing AGI has done so far is giving licence to western companies like finders keepers who have brought out some compilations with stupendous audio quality. Sometime I wish if finders keepers would get all the rights to Raajas full catalogue and release it after meticulous restoration. AGI sucks big time. Sorry, this is just a ranting of an IR fan who is frustrated at the unavaibility of Raajas works in decent audio quality and legally even in this age where so much progress has been made in the field of technology.
kj, I too complain about AGI
I have purchased some 15 raaja songs including some rare songs from flipkart. The sound quality is somewhat OK if we consider only the noise the problem. Read the followings lines as my doubts. The most irritating/untolerable thing is, (for some songs or many) they just used the MP3s freely availble all over the net (the byrated copies) and worked something on them such as noise reduction and then they have released as legal one.
Proof: the file name and/or MP3 ID is different from the song played in a music player by the same mp3 file which is the typical problem of illegal MP3s. Either they should be too lazy or in the above case I said. Just the rights is enough to release the songs?
kj / San_K,
I have bought only CDs of Agi and honestly they don't seem to have the same quality of Oriental ones. No clue why Raja takes such decision but giving the rights to Agi hasn't helped. I bought the SPB, KJY, SJ and KSC compilations since I wanted to encourage Agi Music (I had most of the songs with me.) but the recording quality was a big letdown. And believe me when I say I am almost tone deaf regarding recording quality. Even someone like I could make out the quality was bad. The HMV and Oriental have very good quality. No clue on how this situation can be changed though.
My issue with agimusic is that they are releasing only compilations, instead of full albums! and because of compilations, some songs get repetitive while some songs do not feature in any compilation at all.
The only positive thing agimusic has done is putting up most of the songs on flipkart's flyte. We can atleast download albums/songs. But then quality remains an issue. and also, mp3s wont help if one is particular about a full-cd. There are many albums I'd like to buy in cd format but they are never released.
And does Agimusic have rights to all of Raaja's works, in all languages? I doubt so. And even among his non-film works, do they have rights on all content? if yes, technically they should be having the rights over his Symphony with RPO right?
From Hindu : History is on the verge of being made. Veteran music director M.S. Viswanathan, who, 26 years ago, worked with Ilaiyaraaja to deliver the musical hit Mella Thiranthathu Kadavu, is to work with Ilaiyaraaja’s son Yuvan Shankar Raja for the first time.

Wish this should happen. Lovely pair!
Well the situation can be changed. First of all, I feel the problem lies in the fact that, the original source of the songs (be it compilations or whole albums) being sold by agi is not the original studio master tapes. If they are indeed using the original studio masters then they should invest in some hi-end analogue remastering EQUIPMENT and NOT just digital remastering SOFTWARE. I have heard rumors that for quite some movies the original studio master tapes were lost in a fire at the echo company. For such cases they MUST hunt down brand-new/minimally used LP records to be used as the original source. The fact is that if the audio source is noisy then it is very difficult to remove the noise without messing the signal with even the best digital remastering software. Hence the stress should be on hi-end analogue equipment (sensitive tape/LP heads, tube amplifiers, hi-end ADCs etc) and then digital remastering.Quote:

Anxious to get your hands on the audio CD? Don't be; just pre-order your copy and be assured to be the first ones to hear the magical tunes of your legend Ilayaraja.
Available on Flipkart: http://bit.ly/O4RX01
Pls try to share the same to as many people as possible..
Pls do the needful
I am appalled, IR's early works not available for public to buy as CDs.
I haven't bought anything from Agi people!
Whoever these people are Agi or people with the rights, better they apply their mind, make sure, IR earlier works are available in CDs just like Oriental records did earlier!
enna ellarum on-line downloading mattumdhan pannanumaa, pannuvangala?
idiotic aa illai!http://www.mayyam.com/talk/images/sm...on_twisted.gif
Get lost people! With this kind of mess, they are indirectly encouraging pirated copies!
I guess this ladAi doesn't include the ones contracted out to HMV / INRECO...in other words, none of his first 100 movies (pre-EchO ones) are covered in the saNdai...Quote:

K,
Thanks a lot for sharing. Beautifully narrated with every minute details. :clap: Seems a lot of hard work. Very interesting to read. Felt like I was in the conclave. Definitely questions to Maestro could have been better, nevertheless, should be a wonderful experience those who have witnessed live.
From this week's Anandha vikatan, not related to Raja sir but his kid :-)
''ரசிகர்கள் 'தில்லுமுல்லு’ பாடல்கள், இசையை இப்பவும் ரசிக்கிறாங்க... அதை டீஸ் பண்ணிர மாட்டீங்களே?''
''அதை நாங்க உணர்ந்திருக்கோம். 'தில்லுமுல்லு... தில்லுமுல்லு’, 'ராகங்கள் பதினாறு உருவான வரலாறு...’ ரெண்டு பாட்டையும் அப்படியே ரீ மிக்ஸ் பண்றோம். அந்த ரீ மிக்ஸ் பாடல்களுக்கு மியூஸிக், ஒரிஜினலுக்கு மியூஸிக் பண்ண எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன் சாரேதான். மீதி மூணு பாட்டுக்கு யுவன் ஷங்கர்ராஜா மியூஸிக். ஆக, படத்துக்கு இசை எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன் - யுவன்ஷங்கர் ராஜா. இது எப்படி இருக்கு? யுவன்கிட்ட இதைச் சொன்னதும் ரொம்ப சந்தோஷப்பட்டார். 'அவர் ட்யூன் போடட்டும். நான் ஆர்கெஸ்ட்ரா பார்த்துக்கிறேன்’னு உற்சாகம் ஆகிட்டார். என்னவோ முதல் படத்துக்கு மியூஸிக் பண்ற மாதிரி ஆர்வமா ஓடிட்டு இருக்கார். இப்போ மூணு பாடல்கள் வாலி சார் எழுதுறார். அதனால, டைட்டில்ல பாடல்கள் 'கவிஞர் கண்ணதாசன் - வாலி’னுதான் வரும்!''

Raja is stocking 300 unused tunes, AvlOthaanaa?!?
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...1373322_n.jpg7
as he clearly said in the interview... he gives a tune at the moment as it happens... he does not even use the work 'think' to get his tunes... so he would be least interested in stocking imo... maybe they mean the unused songs which were half recorded...
True, he doesn't even 'think' as regular MD's does. But whatever happens, either during work(which goes unused) or even without that, so the unused tunes in both cases, he wud be storing. If he is stocking some 300 tunes, more than 3000 shud have flashed and he wud have skipped them!
K,
amazing!:thumbsup::ty:
The process happens like this. Once the situation is explained to him, the tape starts recording and he starts humming the tunes. Finally the director selects one. But the tape remains intact. Earlier when Sundaarrajan was around ( he is no more) he used to remember all these things. To that extent when some one comes for a song and Raaja does not have time for a composing session, when the situation is explained to Sundarrrajan, he used remember an unused tune from the session with some other director which may fit in with the new requirement; and he will pick up that particular tape and take it further. That was the kind of system he was maintaining. And that was the level of his involvement in the whole process. You may be aware, that till his death, starting from the mid eighties, he was the one who used to sit with the singers and record the song; with the guidance from the tune tape, the notations he has made of the tune once it was finalised and the orchestral score sheet from the recording session.Quote:

I'm also reminded of the Manivannan speech on a TV show mentioning how he kept going to IR for 'michcham meedhi' tunes. He showed extraordinary humility on that show, to the extent of calling himself 'yAchakan'!
