Are you refering to the wah wah sound? Guitar with wah pedal-illa? Was there synthesiser involved?Quote:

techno - means some additional electronics (than pure acoustics) IMHO :wink:
Also, the sound that ends the song doesn't sound like guitar + pedals / accessories...
app, that is a perfect definition. Nowadays they use it the word "techno" for some shite genre. But then, who am I to judge.
Yeah, the last part, you are right.
Belated 65th Birthday wishes to the Genius :notworthy:
App, very enjoyable mix of nostalgia, personal experience recall and the songs themselves. I enjoy this even more than pure technical dissections. Pusthavam pOttu vithurunga nallA vikkum

It was wild times for IR during 1980, I think. He was trying out all kinds of things with his guitarists and whatever new toys that he could lay hands on :lol: Ofcourse, SPB was working closely with him on such songs traversing multiple genres and sometimes successful and sometimes noisy. Though not as catchy as senO ritA, this song had some airtime during the days of the movie and in my memory this song was often used as the "filler" for the cassette when the recording center thingy caught up later on. (It was customary for those recording centerwAlAs to fill up the last few minutes on the cassette with man machine kraft werk, funkitown and such spooky stuff. They possibly thought this was Raja's own way of filling up his vinyl).
In any case, excellent singing by SPB & the other support singers! Also shows the variety of songs that people were getting treated with from the genius' kitchen during that time period. This was a hot period when he created a very loyal following for his brand. There was no necessity for this crowd to keep "switching channels" for something different or new. (Interestingly, the other channels were becoming like vayalum vAzhvum while the original vayalum vAzhvum had become MTV, SunTV, everything, just about starting his monopoly on a crowd that was getting ever bigger).
Well, give a listen to this song in a nice system and it could sound quite interesting, especially the string portions!
(I'm excluding the other SPB song in Kali from our discussions 'pathra kALi' with SJ - I saw it on thiraippAdal but never heard it before). So, will move on to the current CM's movie tomorrow...
Plum, thank you for the kooli to eat sugarcane!
Looks like there's another song in between, going by the alphabetical order of movie name, there's another K movie in 1980 for IR...so tomorrow, it won't be from the 'thavikkudhu thayanguthu' song's movie..:-)
Did SPB lend his voice to Swing Swing in Moodupani? That was one heck of a rock n roll.
