In fact, appo dhaan ippo irukkaradhai vida complexity adhigam IMO!
However i do get what Jai means: The obsession with 'sound'/'genre' and viewing it as the be all and end all
agree with u Bala! songs back then were much more interesting in their orchestration... little known songs like "yeriyile elanthamaram" with the vocal harmonies and baroque flute bits, "yedho moham" intro is one stunning piece of orchestration.. even charanam with its counterpoint humming... preludes and interludes from innumerable songs with exquisite string orchestrations... its all missing today. even the so called "simple, soothing, catchy" songs of those days had complex arrangements, chords and bass lines (eg. Ilaiyanila)Quote:

Any music director can compose music for those films. The question is whether the music will be as good as what IR gave?every composer has their own interpretation.Quote:

Thing with Raaja's songs is - once they grow on you, they never stop growing on you.. like the nandhi in Ponniyin selvan that grows on Arul mozhi thevan's mind. Its vision and beauty simply surround and encompass you.
Another case in point - puththambudhu poo poothadho - what a classic hamsanandhi - when I heard - the song felt kinda out of place with the rest, when I heard that the film didnt have - I kinda nodded at myself (imaginary) . When I saw the movie, and when I heard that BGM bit of that song, I felt like whoa - why didnt the movie have that song - and everytime since then, when I hear that song, ore romaanjanam dhaan. Till date... this thing really never stopped from growing on me...

Where did I talk about others? I said this growing business doesn't work on me - which is how it is whether it is IR composing or others. If I had said it in the context of others, you can accuse me of conspiring to defame but I said this in the context of IR - where is the problem?Quote:
