realactivex - i decided to ignore pronunciation-conundrums since the days when HH and Sadhana Sargam started 'treating' us with their renditions - just listen to the creativity in arrangements, tune (if any), or the occasional twists n turns that IR gives us these days - at least these guys are OK, but have you listened to Udit Narayan singing in Telugu ?? omigosh!! that is torture of the first order
Anumanaspadam and other good quality Telugu mp3s: http://www.telugump3s.com
Amazing songs!! Yela Yela is rife with his characteristic music of the 80's. I want to see more of this Raja!!

(though I can understand only a very few words...the language is so sweeeet)...
anumanaaspadam is not exactly 80's feel IMHO...It has keyboard sounds written all over it, making it more of the late 90's era...especially the rhythm section...some of the wind instruments may be conventional (I may be wrong here too)...
Ofcourse, as some pointed out, the bass is strong (though I suspect any use of the raw bass guitar...it may be another keyboard guy...and that makes the feel not the same)
The songs "sound" more like 'TIME', a beautiful album.
This one is a very sweet album too.
I simply love 'ninu vethiki vethiki choosi', the female voice is so good. She seems to be in total control. Reminds me of SJ in her prime where she had things in total control (despite her age showing at times). No age issue here, it's really youthful and sweet. Male voice plays a perfect support role here with the girl in full command...I've heard this song this afternoon itself may be 15-20 times non-stop (in headphone at work). Much like the 'kAdhal nee dhAnA' effect when TIME came...thigattAdha pAdal...
prathi dhinam (mayanginEn) is sweet too. Female voice is superb here also (matching the original PS) but the male is weak. And as many already pointed out, the mridh sound is refreshing...(kaNdippA keyboard kidaiyAdhunnu ninakkiREn)...
The situational raa gumma raa has some surprises too. (I think Raja wanted to pack some elements of the 'vidiya vidiya' clone in shiva06 into this song). An OK song...may be you can hear in radio but not on repeat mode in personal player...
I liked 'mallelo...chanda mama' better than raa gumma. The voices are familiar (Hariharan / Sadhana sargam). As this is not Thamizh (i.e. avanga enna kolai paNNaRangannu theiriyAdhadhAl) I can enjoy their lovely voices...sweet song.
kuyilaalo / rela rela are quite ordinary songs (by Raja standards)...again I won't change stations if these are played on radio...
kEtka iniya pAdalkaL...(Raja's orchestration is soft and good accompaniment to some sweet voices, though not extra brilliant with a lot of surprise elements...In any case, with keyboards ruling, I pay less attention to instrumental parts in these songs anyways)...
Some days back, i watched Gemini TV Music (telugu channel). One song played in Gemini TV mesmerised me.
Shobana and Saranraj had acted in that songand the song starts "Akkadae.....".
Can anybody give the link to that song?
The Song may be AAkasham sung by chitra and the Film may Be KOKILA if Im not wrong
may available in cooltoad
I think i probably have that song .. though i need to confirm.
send me a PM with your email and i shall send it a/c ( surely if i have it)
K,
Are you sure that its the movie kokila??? Sanjeevi said it starts "akkade" and you are refering to "Aakasham meghalu" from kokila. I searched for kokila and saw that the movie has Shobana and Naresh in cast.
Anyway I have the songs of kokila and if needed please reply here and i will upload it :)
Decided to try the "copy into audio CD" option in Windows media player for anumanaspadam (to find out how they sound in the car)...And I had to fill the CD space with some old Raja numbers. Interestingly the CD has 'vandhadhu vandhadhu nalla idam' coming after the thelungu numbers & that song has so much punch and makes me dance while driving while none of the "new" ones have that kind of effect:-)
Despite having better recording facilities and audio engg. today, why is Raja unable to get back that "kick" drum or "gum-gum" drum sound to such an effect (like in the case of garjanai)? The garjanai song has one of stupidest lyrics - 'gumthala gumthala gumthalakkA, sooppukku kOzhiyum vandhadhakkA' etc. - still the startling lead guitar sounds (may be the first gen synth) and the majestic trumpet combo takes one to a plane so euphoric...very rarely do I get such a thrill with any of the new songs...(Raja or others)...
My trying to listen to the new songs in car has reinforced the conclusion that these are NO 80's stuff (which is like maNamulla, rusiyAna veettu sAppAdu - though served on an old wooden brown color table in ever-silver plate, no table cloth etc)...the new ones are "polished", "shiny" food served in chinaware , exotic surroundings...may even have their "nutritional contents" printed / explained etc....but never have the flavour and taste of the previous:-(
