IR New Albums - Ver 2006

I dont know why you all are trying to cling to IR of 80's. This is the classic dilema for all the IR fans i think. They cannot seem to make up the mind whether they want IR's music to sound like 80's or sound like 90's or today. I guess this is due to the fact that Ir's music has spanned 3 decades now and the music tastes have gone through a evolution of change along with the music itself and the fans are having a hard time adjusting.

For me i enjoy IR's new offerings as is and i do not try to compare it with his 80's or 90's hits. For me if the song is good and has his stamp( In orchestration) along with his trademark melody, thats enough. The fact he is still able to conjure up excellent songs even after so many years speaks volumes of his talent. Even now he tries to adopt to the changing tastes in music but without giving up his roots of melody and brilliant orchestration. Coming to this album, i think its a typical IR score for a Vamsi album. As one of those who have followed Vamsi's movies throughout , this is certainly as per my expectations. For a Vamsi movie(the later ones not his early career movies),He normally includes a rehashed tune from his Tamil movies and introduces it to Telugu audience and it is normally a big hit with them. It should be the same case again her with Prathidhinam. One experimental/non conventional number in Ragumma and others which are competent melodies. All in all a nice package to enjoy. I have certainly not got bored after listening to it so many times. certainly a welcome relief from all the koothu/junk stuff that is being passed off as music nowadays (even in Telugu ).

rprasad, what I like about "Anumanaaspadam" is that the tunes are not weak . They are taut, sweet and never a dull, boring moment . But what we IR fans miss is the long winding interludes that transport us to a different world. It is a matter of concern that IR is making them short. Why? Is there no scope of picturization for long interludes? Another factor is the synth that is being voiced by every fan. When the tune is good what is the need for synth? Raja should not aim to cut cost at the cost of fans.
// Digression : Nakeeran IR's charukesi are as follows:
1. "aadal kalaiye deivam" from "Ragavendra"
2. "Amma nee sumandha piLLai" from "Annai or aalayam"
3. In "Siriya paravai" , the second charanam
4. "Vaanil vidi veLLi" - Mano,SJ duet from "Honest Raj"
5. "Prathidinam" from "Anumanaaspadam"[ new Telugu movie of IR . Listen to Teja's link Ragalahari for the songs of this movie]
I know there are more than these.

As rajasaranam said the Film Kokila Has Shobana and naresh in cast, Sarathbabu comes as a Police officer/CBI investigating Murder or something and the song "AAkasham Meghalu" is an excellent haunting tune with Sogam Flavour. I guess Sanjeevi is telling this song, he must make clear it for us. Other Shobana telgu Movies Raja gave Music as far I know are Abhinandhana(excellent songs), April 1 Viduthala(some recycled Tamil songs, movie remade in Tamil as Sathiyvan Murali as Hero, which has BUFFULLO SOLDIRE tune in some song.

"Other Shobana telgu Movies Raja gave Music as far I know are Abhinandhana(excellent songs)" - just EXCELLENT ?? that was/is an AWESOME album with mind-blowing songs!

K,
When i mentioned that the song "Okkate Aasha" from April1st Viduthala and also the prelude of "KilaKilaMani" from Detective Naradha are same as the tune of "Buffalo soldier" .... which Deva again Reused for "Akila Akila" in nerukku ner sometime earlier in this same forum Teja here didn't agree on that saying he didn't find any resemblance.
Happy to note that you are here agreeing on "okkate Aasha" atleast :)

wow man if you were listening to country music or blue grass you will say that all the songs are the same!
If we look that hard then we can find a similar song for every song there is. Try singing buffalo soldier using the exact notes of the vocals of the song in okkate aasha, and it will sound ridiculous.

I think the Song "KILA KIla Mani Kalavaru Rani" is from Coolie No.1 Venkatesh,Tabu movie(Raja sung a erotic number "Kalaya Nijama" with PS in the same movie)

K,
I think they are referring to "Kila kila mani navvulu ruvvi" from Detective Narada.

RS,
I still don't see any similarities between that one and "okkate aasa" :)

btw, I saw a clipping of the song "Ninu vethiki vethiki" from Anumanaspadam on Maa Tv last night.
It's esthetically picturized in typical Vamsy's style.
Looks promising!

Oh god, you are all confusing me. That song's hero is not Charanraj?. And the rthym of the song was something similar to VS's "Thamarapoovukkum Thannikkum Ennaikum Sandaiyae" from Pasumpon

Its all Karthik raja man. He does all this crappy synth arrangements for his dad and in the end spoils everything. Wonder when IR will realize this.
