Using typical Project Manager's lingo, can I request people to take the current religious discussions 'offline':) I am sure these are something everyone is interested in and has strong views but this is 'beyond the scope' of this thread :)
Let us have the team members giving us updates on what is happening on 'Chal Chale', 'Pazhassi Raja', 'Madhiya Chennai' etc. Those going off tangent will be given a 'Need Improvement' in their appraisal :)
Sureshs65,
In Nayagan's lingo
avangala vida sollunga..naan vidaren :)
I wish IR stop wearing his 80's cap.
Listening to Valmiki or azhagar malai..i feel like I got transported back to 80's,,,the only missing thing is the tunes are not as mesmerising as back then.
I dont know how his recent other non tamil songs are...???
You folks here were singing praise about the abovementioned 2 film songs for past few months. I only listened to them recently and utterly dissappointed.Except for 1 or 2 songs the others were average IMO.IR's 70's songs are different from his 80's songs; and his early 80's songs different from his late 80's song,,so on,,My point is this genious always had innovation in his mind.If I were to meet IR I would say ' Please dont make songs like eighties,,we have hundreds of hits from the past if we want those' GIve us innovative new songs,,with new fusion /arrangement,,the way you always do back in your heyday. And now you got lesser assignment please concentrate a bit more on arrangement and mixing ; at least on few selected assignments.
Chelian, I think you are influenced by the current trend and want IR to keep up. Problem is IR is considered music god and has already done what these youngsters today are doing in his own style. Asking him to reinnovate when he has already done everything is like a mockery of his legacy.
All he needs to do now is to release his long pending symphony or come up with a experimental non-film album. Otherwise the rest we will take it as they come like always.

Chelian,
Let me add to Hulkster's point with some examples - haven't you listened to completely bassline driven songs like germaniyin, ilamai enum poongaRRu ? Almost rhythm looped songs like meen kodi thEril ? unique rhythm arrangements like poongkathavE etc ..
So to IR who is focussed more on basics/classic approach to music, just giving different rhythm arrangements or new sounds is not really challenging. Songs like from Guru(malayalam) are probably his passion.
Even though I like the new songs I dont think it is a big deal for him to do these. There are some innovative things in these albums but not really that big. I am excited because they are still fresh and keeps IR in the fray. This will help in selling any new non-filmy works.
When ever I hear this piece, i can only think of one...IRish...

About non-telugu music directors:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/E...ow/4795301.cms
"...Ilayaraja was one of the few Tamil composers who had a dream run in Tollywood for two decades..."
"... Director Sridhar Reddy says, “Unlike other composers, Telugu-speaking composers will have an edge due to their command over the language,” and feels Ilayaraja and MSV survived because they could get the Telugu flavour in their compositions..."
thanks,
Krishnan
