Good efforts, but not so nice !Quote:
I came across this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jTNHh1ubPA
The uploader(artist) is a musician based in New York and he improvised the Mouna Raagam theme into a song (as a tribute to Ilaiyaraaja and Maniratnam). He did quite a good job. i wouldnt say he strictly stuck to IR school of thought alone, but he took the theme and did his own thing, quite well. Pretty impressive.
Great post there!Quote:

OTOH, about others - excluding the ones that had equivalent TFM versions, I didn't know those were IR's though I've heard them here and there. Must have been hits when they arrived. Whether it was the customers' taste (i.e.directors) or IR's motivation to be competitive, his MFM had a superior melodic content always :-)
Well said app_eng. Exactly my thoughts when I had written about Raja's Malayalam film songs in my blog: http://sureshs65music.blogspot.com/2...n-south-2.htmlQuote:

Added to it Illayaraja had to match up to the glorious music of people like Baburaj, Salil Choudhary, Devarajan and his own guru, V.Dakshinamurthy. I guess nothing spurs a genius more than a challenge and Illayarja responded by creating magic in Malayalam movies."
Vicky's top class post once again:

Simply loved the post by Vicky. I liked all his posts till now. very informative.Solladha is one of my favourites and althoigh i could sense the peculiarity in the rhythm, i never studied or dissected it as such. Brilliant.
there is another absolutely mind-blowing track in SATHYA (kamal, amala) that never made it to the screen - "ingeyum angeyum" - which has all the trademark unorthodox tala structures, twists and turns - special components include a piano motif and a stunning second interlude - in terms of evolution of motifs within a composition, that is under 5 minutes long, this piece is matchless in creativity!
somehow IMHO, IR always reserves such completely unorthodox styled scores for Kamal!
Any link to this song?Quote:
