Mind you IR has also done some really complex stuff before but predominantly his has been simple catchy tunes and orchestration which can be liked instantly by everyone without people having to have stereo speakers to decipher the sounds and layers in the song.
Talking about loops, there was an interview with Thaman an upcoming composer in Screen magazine and he clearly says that programming knowledge is a must for composers nowdays(hey lot of us software guys qualify i guess) and singles out Rahman, Harris and Manisharma as guys strong with programming. And he goes on to mention that he created tunes for a recent film completely out of some loops in Itunes or something i dont remember exactly. Now this looks like a trend now and this is what Suresh is referring to. When composers start doing this then we ought to be wary as to any hit music they give.
