nanRi baroque, for the 'manadhil enna ninaivukaLO' song - what a delight it is!
The ending (postlude followed by SPB-SPS humming) is gorgeous!
unnai thEdum rAgam idhu (pon mEgalai). iyya, thy name is divinity.
By the by, what ragam is this based on? Thiraipaadal lists it as Naattai, but from whatever swaram portions we get to listen in the song, there's no use of Ri at all.
Assuming SGMPNS, SNPMGS - Gambheeranaattai?

As usual, recorded couple of vinyl lps... Here are some of the.. You will be blown away (hope so) :)
1. This one is amazing quality. I do have the original ACD and it is no match to this quality. All that hard work is well worth it... http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/aana...i-thamaraikodi
2. Here is another one and in terms of quality this is no match to CD either. Please pardon that initial disturbance that you hear.. the LP had a huge scuff mark... http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/vell...ohmaanaemaanae and http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/vellairoja-solaipoovil
One other thing I noticed with PattakathiBhairavan which came out in 1979. It is a STEREO recording (believe it or not). At least the instruments are separated. The LP however is horrendously scratched. I'm on a hunt for such rare ones...
I've posted many times in the hub about the unusual distribution of these tracks on stereo...on occasions, we won't be able to hear vocals or some instruments at all in the engengO sellum / dEvathai songs in the IOKS transmission...funny-yA irukkum:-)Quote:

Different vaNdi this morning and listened to a song other than NEPV after a long time :-)
'sempoovE poovE' of siRaichchAlai, SPB-KSC.
What a sweet song!
Like I posted in the SPB-IR thread, the pAdal varikaL are funny. For the lip-sync biz (dubbed from Malayalam), the pAdalAsiriyar would have retained a lot of words and it sounds almost like a Malayalam song.
That apart, there was one line which stunned me this morning and I was laughing without control :
மன்னவன் விரல்கள் பல்லவன் உளியோ?
:rotfl:
Probably the only IR song in Sri ragam! And a different picturisation in the beginning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SIqOCPGYVo
There is even a cover version by somebody - sounds good too.

IR mahanubhavulaki vandanamu :)
Friends,
Please tell me if IR has done a movie called Anbe Unakkaga in 1992, which is listed in Rakkamma.com.
http://www.rakkamma.com/filmsongs.phtml?filmid=2355
There is a beautiful song I could find in YouTube which is credited to Sharreth for music. It sounds like RaaRaa song from Chandramukhi.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iEi_FVgupw
It says:
This song was recorded in 1992 for a Tamil movie 'Anbe Unakkaga', but both the songs and film never came out.
There are 2 more songs recorded for the same event.
The lyrics in malayalam shown in this video was written by Minmini for recording the song :-)
Also see the music director name is written as 'Sujith' - Sharrath's previous name !
Songs had been dubbed to malayalam 'again for the unreleased film 'Vilakku Vacha Neram'. Lyrics were written by P.K.Gopi.

What a lovely KJY-KSC number!

Why are you laughing ? I thought it was pretty creative. I dont mind the malayalam flavor and I think the malayalam source is what elevates the lyrics. Our lyricists would not have done a better job ( Na. Muthukumar has done great in NEPV though)Quote:

We need a 'silappadhikaram' based movie for another grand music by IR. Sri Rama Jeyam could also have been more symphonic. Period authenticity can be thrown out the window.
Ilaiyaraaja = Young King
Ilaimai Kanavugal = Youthful Dreams
Need I say more?
Reeta welcomes the listener by chanting “Nana nana na..!” At this point, the question is what direction will the song take? Just like any other song by The Maestro, playing the prediction game is pointless as no one will possibly guess what will follow next. I see there are two types of music, one where the listener knows what to expect and the other type being the complete opposite. Then there is the Raaja Saab category, where one is correct in their prediction of what is coming up musically but then is teased as a listener to only realise that the “Real Deal” is yet to arrive.
The prelude displays a dreamy setting, where one feels awestruck by the aura. Raaja Saab sets the record straight without any hesitation by allowing Reeta to expand horizons so that listeners feel tiny and lost in her vast vocal magic.
The beat is dropped and is supported by a moog bass. It seems like the gloominess from the prelude has vanished and we’ve reached familiar grounds. Personally, I didn’t want a club beat to emerge as I was too in a trance to leave Reeta. From the cosmic soundscape generated by her, we end up in a confined space and though one can breathe, one probably feels more open and carefree when listening to the sole “Nana nana na..!” humming portion of the prelude.
As the beat builds up, so does the orchestration hence the soundscape builds up. Raaja Saab is one such composer, where you will hear endless influences from various musical genres. You can put the influence of other MDs in The Maestro but other MDs will only reflect the his touch in seldom purely because only he can touch his own sound and no one else. Then again he doesn’t have a trademark sound!
Is this his most electro orientated track? When I heard it, it immensely ticked all boxes in my check list. Listeners do not choose what song they like; it’s the song that chooses the listener. Again, we have a number here that was released in 2008 and I’ve never heard it before so whether a song is released today or yesterday i.e. decades ago, if I’m hearing it for the first time then I will judge it as I would any other recently released material.
Forget world music, fusion, etc. Unlike any other electro pop orientated club song, we have enigmatic chants, Celtic interludes but the pièce de résistance of this song lies in that “bloody hell” of a shift from Celtic to Oriental orchestration. What was that? :gobsmacked: Where did Raaja Saab pull that from and that too for a club banger like this. This piece is enough to leave anyone in a daze.
The only small query I have is that the bass in the “Charanams” should have been sung and vocal melody should have been played on the bass. The melody of the bass in the “Charanams” thoroughly expresses highland Celtic characteristics.
The beauty of this song lies in the fact that, even with an out and out beat orientated song, Raaja Saab still presses the right orchestral buttons which is rarely heard in songs of this genre.
Forever young by heart and name!

Here is a clip from Selvi. See how good it sounds. The main reason for getting original ACD... http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/selvi-ilamandhu . Once you hear this, you will not like the MP3's anymore :)
Thanks Vinodkumar; the basslines in this song... motta boss :bow:
But for that irritating lallallaa chorus, this song'd be a perfect 10/10!

It is better you should get copyrights and remaster Maestro's soundtrack if that is not expensive. :smile:
Hi V_S... Thanks for the kind words.. Its a painstaking effort. Yes, this is bit perfect rip of ACD in AIFF format(16bit/44.1hkz). It is done with a CD drive which has C2 error correction. I have so far ripped around 450+ cd's and is stored in a hard disk in AIFF format. I then route this music to my DAC which does resample it to 24/88. I then apply a plugin which I tweak based on my liking and that is what you hear. Yes.. the sample that you hear is down sampled to MP3 and so you are not hearing the true output. I will load the file to show its full potential. We do have listening sessions out here every now and then and you have to see people's reaction. All that hard work is paid off when you sit in front of the system and listen to the music.. Its very personal. Its like a concert being performed just for you...
Hi V_S.. Here is the sample clip which is up sampled to 24/88.1. http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/selv...ndhu-fullglory . The file size is more than 10 times that of the MP3 version. If you hear them via good headphones, you will see the difference between MP3 and AIFF...If I can get hold of the original masters, I can only imagine the quality of the output... Vinod

One doubt, how do you take an already downsampled 16bit/44.1KHz and resample it to 24bit/88KHz?!? Or i understood wrong? Passing a soung to DAC will increase its quality?!? Enna pOttOmO athu thaane varum?!
