Some sweet rhythm work and a very catchy melody. Raja in his innovative self!
app_eng,
Coincidentally heard 'neela kuyile' from 'Sooradamharam' today.
Hearing 'marolsavam' (from the Malayalam movie, Aa Ratri) . Raja in super form. What amazing orchestration and a freakout tune. This should definitely go into the freak out Raja thread.
உளியின் ஓசை - "காலத்தை வென்ற ஒருவன்" - சிறப்பான உருவாக்கம்.
இருபது முப்பது வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு இதே பாடல் வெளிவந்திருந்தால் All time classic என எல்லோராலும் பாராட்டப்பட்டிருக்கும். அழகி "ஒளியிலே தெரிவது" பாடலையொத்த மற்றுமொரு அசத்தலான பாடல்.
இரு விஷயங்களுக்காக இதை தினமும் ஒரு முறையாவது கேட்டு இன்புறுகிறேன்.
1) ஸ்ரீராம் பார்த்தசாரதியின் குரல். தேனை ஒத்த இனிமையாக, மிருதுவாக இருக்கிறது அவரது குரல்.
2) பாடலின் தாளம். சரணம் ஆரம்பிக்கும் இடத்தில் ஆரம்பிக்கும் தாளக்கட்டு ராஜாவிற்கே உரிய ராஜ முத்திரை. இரண்டாவது சரணத்தில் ஷெனாயை சில மாத்திரைகள் இசைக்கவிட்டு, அடுத்து வரும் ஸ்ரீராமின் வரிகள் "திருமண இசை ஒலிதான்" - புல்லரிக்க வைக்கிறது.
ஏன் "வென்ற" என்பதை பவதாரிணி "வெல்ல்ல்ன்ன்ன்ற" என கடிச்சி துப்புறாங்க? அதையே ஸ்ரீராம் "வெல்லும்" எனப் பாடும்போது சந்தத்தில் அப்படியே அழகாக உட்காருகிறது.
Listening Aatamma Therottama.....what an energetic song..freshness of swarna and music players are catching me even after 20 yrs...
'Whenever you hear, you should feel fresh..that is music" - IR. Its very True.
Beats - idhu dhanae Raja.Quote:

I have always believed that IR has reserved some of his fine tunes for KJY.There
is one song which has captivated my inner soul for years :) The minimal orchestra,tempo and the nuances of this song makes this impressive..The magic of ilayaraja to elevate a simple tune to an evergreen pleasant melody is very evident in this song and KJJ has added the right depth and emotions while singing this.

'Darmaseelan' is an album that I never heard (except for one song.) This came up during a discussion with a friend yesterday. Listening to the album today. Current favourite is ' kinnaram kinnaram'. What a tune and wonderful singing. A very delicate and melodious song.

listened to ola kudisayila (full bhavadharini version) from tirunelveli - enjoyed her handling the song's cheerful mood in such a nice way.
Vijaykanth songs
1. Azhagiya Nadhiyena
Rajini ku aduthu, Vijaykanth songs il irukum - IR;s Flow.......... Great.
Chorus - Its the Beauty of this Song.

I am listening to the song "Kaatula Thala" from "Solla Marantha Kathai". Thoroughly enjoyable! Although the other song "Gundumalli" has been a favourite of mine since long time (Shreya Ghoshal sounds beautiful in this song), this "Kaatu Thala" is a new discovery for me. Wonderful song that borders on folk and melody.The song is just like Ilaiyaraaja's plethora of 80s songs. Those interludes and arrangements are his 80s style personified. Nice chords and beautiful bass guitar that doesnt come to the forefront, to retain the folksy (village-ish feel) element of the song. Seems like Naattai scale.

Wonderful composition!
சுவைபட பல பாடல்கள் பகிரும் அனைத்து இசை நெஞ்சங்களுக்கும் கோடான கோடி நன்றி.
ragaas,
'Solla Marantha Kadhai' did not garner as much attention as it should have. 'Gundu Malli, Gundu Malli' is a lovely song. Harish Raghavendar and Shreya do a lovely job. Those were the days when Shreya's Tamil diction still left a lot to be desired but her singing is top notch. 'edho unna nenachen' is also a very nice number sung well by Karthik and Bhava. 'kathula talayatura' has been a personal favourite since I heard it the first time. Sung by Vidhu Pratap. I think he is a Malayalam singer. Haven't heard him much in Tamil movies. I also love 'amma sonna' very much with both Raja and Vijay Jesudas doing a very nice job. And I have atleast written two or three times about how 'Jakkamma' showcases the genius that is Raja. No one has done a drunkard song better in Indian Film Music !!! All in all, an excellent album.
ஆகாய கங்கை (தர்ம யுத்தம், மலேசியா வாசுதேவன், ஜானகி, ரஜினி, ஸ்ரீதேவி, ஆர்.சி.சக்தி இயக்கத்தில்)
My four year old instantly liked the humming in the beginning and forced multiple repeats of that portion on youtube:-) Also the smoothie gimmick with specs by Rajini - nicely synchronizing with the harmonium kuzhaiyal - had multiple repeat viewings!
What a song!
Raja gaaru paattalu koncham ;)
- priyA priyatamA rAgAlu (Killer) (Guitars :thumbsup:)
- mila mila nadusinA thArA (NirNayam) (Cool song!)
- oh prEmA (AswamEdham) (With due respects Asha ji :sigh2: )
- sumam sumam (Maharishi?) (Whatay! :notworthy:)
- kanyA kumAri (Bobbili Raja) (As 'drunk' as it can get!)
- subalEkhA rAsukkunnA (some dhonga) (amazing recording quality!)
- mounamEla nOyi (SAgara sangamam) (Totally :notworthy:)
some donga = konda veeti donga
sumam sumam is sumam prathi sumam sumam - a cut above even the exclusively awesome list you have posted above. What ye song!

Yes. TMS - weight a paadi, patoda softness disturb achu.
I love the 'doiinngg-do-doiinngg' sound in this song (jaladharangam? I thought it was some kind of synth)Quote:

App, daughter-in-law's athai is the mother-in-law who wants a grand daughter. Sounds quite logical to me? :roll:
Aravind,
ippudu meeru hero car-A? :)
Have you listened to Gayam-2 yet? 'andaala lokam', 'endhukamma prema', 'kalagane kannulo' rock big time.
I don't know the movie situation - but if one compares this to the line sung by male voice, there's a "relationship mismatch" issue, I think :-)Quote:

Plum - One among the right persons to open this thread with a good title :clap:.
Vaan Megam. Whenever I hear this, my mood becomes optimistic. Great song.
Somehow I like it much better than the other IR-Revathy-Rain Song, "O ho megam"
prashanth12, same thinking on the vaan megham song. while oh oh megam is very impressive, vaan megham is slower and deliberate in delivery.
HOLD ON FOR A MINUTE!!!
When I heard the news in 1999/00 I immediately thought that the reason for KH parting ways with LS was due to the nature of music composed for HR not suiting KH. As we all know KH is not a person to be settled something less than what he expects....similar to IR.
And then I justified with myself that the reason for KH telling that LS asked for an "astronomical sum" was a cover-up intended to protect LS's name. Imagine KH saying that "LS music was not in sync with the movie's overall appeal. Hence I went to IR". That would have been ridiculous on part of KH since LS was already a figure in world music.
The reason why I could imagine the above said reason for KH's coverup was twofold
1. that the fact that HR was a dream film for Kamal.
2. How could LS compose for an entire film without signing an agreement. This sounded ridiculous simply bcos LS was a much matured pro than Kamal in his own field. he had alreday travelled world over with his "violin".
What do you feel SURESH about my perspective on this NOOL?

What a composition. Those days it was Eeramane Rojave that they kept spinning on radio. This beautiful song overshadowed. SPB :notworthy:
I dont know if your guess is right. But I too somehow thought (and still do) that Kamal's accusation of L.Subramaniam hiking up the price could not be true. And the reason why i think so is because I have been listening to L.Subramaniam's music since long time and have actively followed his career, his interviews, articles etc. I have seen him perform too many times and I even know few people who studied under LS and have spoken highly about not only his talent but also his personality. I somehow never bought Kamal's claim. There is something more to is, which we dont know.Quote:

Lyrics by ONV and sung by by S janaki. This was raja's first score in Malayalam movie? I presume..
A tharattu song from the movie "Mangalam Nerunnu". This was sung by Krishnachandran.

K.Chandrans voice lack the depth and emotion required to handle this song. KJY or Jayachandran should have been a better fit here IMO.
A song from the movie Anuragakottaram which was released in the year 1998. The pick of the album was "Chirichente Manisille" song which was there at the top of charts for many weeks.

Thanks for the youtubes.
All ilam poovo - Krishnachand's singing is very nice.
depth in expression - epodhum thevai ilai nu nenaikaren.....
simple vum irukalam dhanae..
KJY and Jayachandran padina - avanga padina madhiiri irukum. Tats all.
Krishnachand's bhavam is also nice to hear...
ellarum - KJY madhiryae padanama .. enna.....
