The album on the whole makes me yearn for such orchestrations in his film songs too which he has lessened in the post 97 scenario. Its all Synths only nowadays for his film music. This album proves beyond doubt that IR can still give us the orchestration and his trademark tunes for which most of his fans are longing for, AIMHO :)

BTW anybody noticed the music which comes in 'polla vinayaen' at the fag end ' just before 'Easan adi potri...' I heard it in 'Kadhal kondaen' as BGM.....

I am very much enjoying these compostions as you do. its just that iam enjoying it in musical perspective while you people dwelve into spiritual persepective. i dont find anything wrong in your part since it sure did move me spriritually too. If this music is bound to move me into a spiritual realm who is a very strong atheist then i cant imagine what it is doing to you all.
P.S: My reference is totally on the song 'Polla vinayaen' while i believe the other five songs are great for film music compositions. I just imagine what would have been the case if IR had the facility of BSO right from 'Annakili' .... and iam sure that we will be having, thousands of songs that will stand for eons to come as great symphonic compositions, Not that it wont stand as it is of now :)

I am not a follower of any individual who claim to be the incarnation of god. Dont take it as a criticism/disrespect. The reason I am saying this is because I was just curious who this "Mother Ammaachi" was and I googled and found out the site. What inspired me is what "Mother Ammachi" said

"The greatest tragedy in life is not death; the greatest tragedy takes place when our talents and capabilities are underutilized and allowed to rust while we are living."

How true it is. Illayaraja is a classic example. Like someone pointed out here, IR should do atleast 1 such (TIS like) project every year. I cant believe there aren't that many sponser for TIS like project.

Any update on total sales figures so for?

Rajasaranam

OK may be I read it wrong!! :D
Its interesting our tast match atleast for this song,
I am also totally in love with this Polla Vinayen song.
I am not going write a review, but my experience with TIS.
I think Kamal was right Raja Sir should have done this in 80s only.
Not that it is lat now or anthying, we could have have more of this ;)

Rajasaranam ellavumaagi nindra kadavul need not be confined to any form, gender or place since the One in fact doesnt confine to anything
so we can feel or perecive it in whatever way we want, feeling that ONE throu Thiruvasagam music is one such type :)

Peace
Ganesh(UV)

I think its too early to discuss this. Lets first hope that Father finishes all his loan commitments. I really wanted some big corporate to sponsor TIS and fund generously so that such music will come non stop, not just from IR but from all talented composers.

I forwarded TIS to Oratorio society of Minnesota and they will get back to me soon with review/next steps.

1. the pieces vEtRu vigAra vidak kudambinuL kidappa & mAsatRa sOthi till the end of pollA vinaiyEn is mind blowing
2.puTRil vAz aravum anjEn - the amma! nAm anjum aaRE piece is captivating..wow!
3. muthu natRamam is the best for me!

Apart from the sites which were mentioned earlier for downloading TIS tamilstate.com has the files for download. They should stop this else this masterpiece will be pirated.!!!!!!!!! Pls help

CDs Sold out
------------------

In Madurai CDs are sold out. Consider yourself you are lucky, if you are able to get a CD when you go to Music Shop at the first time. In Madurai, Keestu Kaanam 200 CDs are selling a day. They give order from a customer. Then they get CDs from Chennai from courier. Then CD will be delivered after a day. It is amazing.

Ok - friends, I am posting my first response after I listened to TiS yesterday all alone in my room on an AIWA System - to start with, I will try giving a one sentence description: This album is an ABSOULTE BOMBSHELL ! in fact, it is a couple of hydrogen bombs packed together in a single CD timed to detonate each time it is played! after playing the entire CD, I involuntarily checked if nothing happened to my system, after that most complex music it has played in its lifetime!

I will follow this up with a deep set of observations, since I am incapable of reviewing this!
