IR's New albums - Ver 2008/2009

raja_fan, I am done.
Why do you say that?
What did I do wrong?
I am not ashamed to say I love this composition.
One of my favorite song from glorious 80s ilayaraja.
The mood of the composition is devastating.
Heavenly orchestration.
Haunting, divine music is oozing out of Ilayaraja's hands, HOPING he will churn out a song with the mood of this magnitude in his upcoming JAGAN MOHINI.
I posted the ethereal song (I deleted the lyrics,OK) and wished you guys.

anyway...

Nostalgic tune... lingers in my heart. I and my friend forever smitten by the musical and Ilayaraja.. decided to share this morning.
worthy friends, love them dearly.
We might not have the chance to hang out like the past, but they are always special to me.
For me, my friends, my cousins, my bro in laws, our love for Ilayaraja's hypnotic music ETHEREAL kannil edho... from Ilayaraja.
vinatha. :)

raja_fan,

What harm did baroque do? She was enjoying some of Raaja's fabulous compositions and sharing it with us, where is the need to limit ourselves when we are drunk till the brink with Raaja's music :) I've Felt myself becoming mad listening to his music sometimes! hell let me be insane at those moments but it feels like bliss and nobody can stop blabbering after getting enlightened :)

Thanks suresh, for that translation. Yes..that song is indeed one hell of a song.

Let me join the merry , romantic party [sorry raja_fan professor :) ] . Iam currently basking in the "Abheri" beauty of "ennai thottu aLLikonda mannan perum ennadi" . When SPB sings, makes me hopelessly weak-kneed, vulnerable .
How I miss this magical SPB-IR combo :((

thumburu,

that was most aired song in the Radios when it got released in early 90's, i am also wondering how could you miss such an hit number. Nonethless a wonderful song and as you mentioned beatifully rendered by SPB and Chitra ?

baroque,

you have been doing wonderful job in this thread, those songs you mentioned especially ponmeni and kannil etho are immortal among not only IR fans but among all the listeners.

nanchil_guy,

It's SPB and Swarnalatha, not Chitra

What a prelude humming by swarnalatha.
Lude Music flows like Ganges in... Ennai thottu....Karthik is cute. :)

Feels great to Celebrate Ilayaraja always! :bluejump:

Let's mellow down a bit with the nobility and splendour of early Ilayaraja.
:ty:
MOHANAM breeze from early Ilayaraja.

engum niraindha.....idhu eppadi irukku

gentle drawl in their voices ENCHANTING Yesudas with MELODIOUS Janaki.
Truly blazing humming, violin, guitar, flute, veena, tabala, nature sounds orchestration.

Vinatha :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS :wave:

Excellent song Vinatha. There was a series in Dhool.com which had lot of gems which went unnoticed or from films which never were released. That's where I heard this song first and was as they say nowadays, "I was blown away".

"..The film's music by the maestro Ilayaraja, is said to be spell binding. According to the unit, "The songs are really excellent and amazingly shot by the director. This time Raja sir will definitely receive the national award for his extra ordinary work in this film...."

Not that it (national award) matters much to IR or us, but I will be glad if he receives it.

thanks,

Krishnan

IR Combining with Uttam Singh For Naan KadavuL's BGM? Thats very surprising, given the way IR Normally works:

http://cenimafun.blogspot.com/2008/1...post_4067.html

NagaS

I guess, Uttam singh is associated with IR for quite sometime now.
The only difference i see here is that association is explicitly given here,may be for the first time :)

The news is from here: (it has pics also)

http://www.tamilcinema.com/CINENEWS/...er/291208c.asp

Uttam was associated with IR for about 15 years as stereo mixer, or something like that. IR has acknowledged his contributions at many a times, including the Italy concert, which was conducted by Uttam. His daughter Preeti has sung some songs for IR.

I also remember one of the episodes in Ananda Vikatan, where IR has written about an incident which happened in Kasi. Once he went to Kasi with Karthik Raja and Uttam. When Karthik got drowned in the water (while bathing), Uttam saved him immediately. When I saw Naan Kadavul stills, I remembered that.

I feel Uttam might have rendered some slokas/songs in Hindi/Sanskrit for the movie.

rooky,

I Knew Uttam Singh is associated with IR already, I have seen him in many of IR's stage shows as well and his daughter(?) Preethi Uttam Singh sang for IR (Kaadhal vaanile, Allah un aaNaippadi Ellaam Nadakkum),

But Usually IR's compositions are 100% His own, He doesn't like / allow others to do improvisation etc., this includes singers too - Even in 'Making Of Thiruvasagam' program in SS Channel, One person remarked proudly, 'whatever comes in his name, is his own creation', (May be KR's influence in terms of arrangements is a glaring exception)

From this angle, Seeing Uttam Singh as Co-MD For BGM of Naan KadavuL is very surprising and I am wondering WHY he needs somebody to assist him, that too in this movie which is closer to his heart,

If Uttam singh is involved in this movie officially, What Next? IR - YSR MDing for a movie together?

Ivanga ellam IR fans'aam :banghead:

Uttam singh himself was only just a good MD with quite a few cheesy hits. I really can't comprehend the need for assistance leave alone providing creative inputs!

Uttam Singh is associated with IR as "arranger" (& "conductor") for many years, much before he became an independent MD.

I think he works in the same capacity for this movie too - the only difference being him understood as a music director from bollywood, because he has done some work there (and possibly some songs as hits). Since he is independently known as a MD now, the press wants to give him a mileage, I think.

Otherwise, IMO, he is doing the same work of arranger that he had been doing for IR for many years.

Nothing new, except the press projecting him as "somebody". That is good while not taking anything away from IR.

I am also of the same opinion.dont think he will be a co-md there

BehindWoods is very notorious of brining down and defaming IR, with every opp they get,

http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-29-12-08.html

"The movie is scored by Ilayaraja and Bollywood musician Uttam Singh."

பாவம் உத்தம் சிங் . அவரை இப்படி வாரீங்களே! அவர்களுக்கு ஏதாவது செய்தி கிடைக்க வேண்டும். நாளைக்கு பாலா ஒரு பாடலுக்க்கு இசயமைத்தார் என்று கூட போடுவார்கள். அப்ப தான் நிறய hits கிடைக்கும்.

What is there to bang your head?? I sincerely want IR to compose and let Yuvan choose his sounds for those notes and do mixing and recording. Then all IR fans who cry about his synth usage in recent times will be in cloud nine. I am sure about it.

Even i think this must the case. And i doubt if it is intentional too.You know, sometimes, few articles are written by not-so-well-informed people. Also, since Uttam Singh is now a composer, the author of the article might have unintentionally but carelessly wrote "Ilaiyaraaja and Hindi composer Uttam Singh". Could be. Could not be. We never know Uttam Singh's role till we see the cds. So, let us not speculate and lets just wait. meanwhile,Let me give you a background of Uttam Singh.

Uttam Singh is a not yet a full-fledged composer, although he did compose music for a handful of films and he is known for his music for 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. thats it. Uttam Singh was originally a violinist in orchestras of yesteryear composers such as S.D.Burman etc. Later sometime during 80s, he became an arranger for many composers such as R.D.Burman. He was also the arranger for legendary composer Naushad's only private album "Aathwaan Sur". Ilaiyaraaja used to record in Bombay many times and his confidante` or if we can call 'Right Hand Man', to arrange, communicate with musicians was Uttam Singh. How IR knew about Uttam Singh is a mystery.I only guess that R.D.Burman must be the common point between them, given the fact that IR used RD's orchestra in Bombay. So, for Ilaiyaraaja, the moment he thinks of going to Bombay for anything, be it recording or mixing or mastering, Uttam Singh is involved in someway of other, either in conducting orchestra or even as point-of-contact for getting good sound engineers such as Daman Sood, Avinash Oak, K.J.Singh etc.
The notable albums in which i could hear Uttam Singh's (and/or his daughter Preeti Uttam's) voice are "India 24 hours", "Hey Ram", "Live in Italy", "Chalia"(the prabhudeva film which has 'Kaadhal Vaanile', 'Mastaana' songs). Remember, Thiruvasakam was originally planned a Hindi version too and Uttam Singh was associated with it.It was shelved later. I think the final version which we hear now also has some recordings in Bombay, in which he might be involved.His own music for 'Dil To Pagal Hai' was a huge hit, although his music does not have any influence of any of composers with whom he had worked, including IR.However, his subsequent films did not do well.

2 MORE DAYS TO GO FOR KADAVUL THARISANAM...ROMBA BORING :(

I think after a looong time , there is somee hype abt a IR album !

Don't hv high expectations. Remember pitamagan had only couple of good songs.

really? If this album is anything like Pithamagan, I'll be very happy.

Sethu had one decent song.
Pithamagan had 2 great songs (Ilankaatru and the KJY song).

Bala's movies typically have more scope for BGM.

Sethu had four good songs, what movie album were you listening to? :curse:

The only thing i am looking forward to in the album is the sanskrit song. the rest must be forced-in themes.

Synopsis:

Naan Kadavul is the 4th movie by director Bala. Arya and Pooja are in the lead roles. Cinematography is by Arthur Wilson and music is by maestro Illayaraja.

The Album has six songs of which five is penned by Vaali and a song is written by Illayaraja. Illayaraja, Madhu Balakrishnan, Vijay Prakash, Sadhna Sargam, Madhumitha and Shreya Ghosal have sung a song each. The album has come out well and its a masterpiece of Illayaraja.

Raja to grace the audio release function:

http://www.tamilcinema.com/CINENEWS/...er/311208c.asp

I remember seeing an ad in Kalaignar TV about telecast of audio release function on the 1st January.

கே.பாலசந்தர், பாரதிராஜா, மணிரத்னம், இளையராஜா, வாலி, பாலுமகேந்திரா, மகேந்திரன், ராம.நாராயணன் இவர்களுடன் பிரமிட் சாய்மீரா நிறுவன தலைவர் சாமிநாதன் கலந்து கொள்கிறார். தான் இசையமைத்திருந்தாலும், அந்த படங்களின் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழாக்களில் கலந்து கொள்வதை விரும்பாதவர் இசைஞானி இளையராஜா. ஆனால், நான் கடவுள் படத்திற்காகவும், பாலாவுக்காகவும் இந்த விழாவிற்கு வர இசைந்திருக்கிறாராம் ராஜா.
