80s Ilayaraja!:-D
Now listening to this beauty of an album. I just tweeted that if such movies do not occupy the top tier in Raja's canon, it shows the depth in Raja's music.

app,
Lovely songs those two. Also 'engirundho azhaikkum' and 'mouname mounamen' are wonderful melodies. Wish the later was sung by SPB.
EJP is one of the best IR albums.. engirundhO azhaikkum - both versions :notworthy:
btw, who was the lyricist ?
RR,
Unfortunately my tape does not have the details of lyricist or singers. Luckily raaga.com has the details. Illayaraja and Panju Arunachalam it seems.

Revisited this marvelous composition after about 5 years: http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer...2'&lang=en
Erettu Padinaaru from Raaja Raajathaan! The beginning of the song, all through the end of pallavi - can match the kickawesomeness of Ninnu Kori Varnam probably, in terms of the guitars and the fusion. Not that I dont like the song later - its a melodious composition. A beautiful bhageshree/sri ranjani like melody that probably deserved more appreciation. I dont know if this song was famous or not. The interludes explore the raaja in full splendour with amazing arrangements - typical raaja.
if I have one grudge against this song - it is Raaja's surprise that he DOES NOT come back to the groovy western arrangements - which he normally does. Raaja should have atleast done two versions of this song - one on western arrangements and one with indian arrangements.. you know.. like it is the norm these days to label "Desi Mix", "Radio Mix" etc., it would have been amazing. Stunning composition!
Baroque - Doorathil Naan Kanda i guess is the same raaga, melody and music is very much similar to Kanna Varuvaya from Manathil urudi vendum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCDvHVTnNbA
yeah:musicsmile:
For the past 24 hrs, my heart constantly lap dap lap dap 'OMG! Raja coming to my town!' though I have concentrated on my other important chores! :-D

I will be very happy if Raja picks DEVANIN KOVIL.... as his duet with Chithra in our town's - San Jose concert!
Forever I meditate with the longing pathos!

NEPV still takes most of my listening time, whatever albums I listen I keep coming back to NEPV. No album (except TIS) has been this addictive for me in recent times.
Been listening to Fire Star: Electro Synth compilation, the quality is god awesome (thanks Nerd for recommending it to buy). Oh baby, Pavala Malligai, Paattu Engey, Disco King are most played ones for me apart from the other extremely popular numbers like Valayosai, Ninnukori, Vikram, Punnagai Mannan themes.

THIRUTHERIL VARUM SILAIYO.... to energize me this afternoon to continue my rest of the day....:redjump:
IMMORTAL LATE 70S ILAYARAJA! :thumbsup:
baroque,
Aaha. Two outstanding number there. 'devanin kovil' and 'thirutherila varum'. Both of this property of being very melodious and at the same time touching your heart. 'devanin kovil' right from the beginning has that melancholic feel and when Chitra goes 'naan enna seiven deivame' you can feel her helplessness. Amazing tune. As for 'thirutheril', it sheer joy right from the guitar strumming which starts the song.
devanin koil - one of my all time favourites. It was introduced to me by violinvicky few years ago. I remember having a 30min discussion with him soon after he played this song for me at his place. That 2nd interlude is something which only Ilaiyaraaja can do! ofcourse, the whole song.

Nerd, I got the vinyl version. For my ears, some of the songs(like vikram, pavala maligning and pattu ingae) are no match to the original cd (let alone to the vinyl).Quote:

Got hold of the precious Meenakshi Stothram LP today. It was in a pristine condition. After a brief wash, scrub and vacuum clean, it went straight to the player. No words to describe the feeling. I felt very special to have this LP in pristine condition with me.. Here is a sample... http://soundcloud.com/raja4ever/meenakshisthothram

The interlude between 1.28 - 1.40...Mind blowing really
Sober singer (vijaytv) has this round going on for the last two days called 'strings melody' - a bunch of 6-8 violins, an acoustic guitar and a bass. All contestants have been singing (quite poorly) IR songs so far. While all this might seem too beautiful and romantic, the horror and unintentional comedy has to be seen to be understood! A myriad of ROFLMAX stuff! A bloody slaughter of the man's intricately woven orchestration! Firstly they've not been playing the original notes but have been doing some kinda ad-lib stuff, which to me reeks of lack of dedication to the art (you could play whatever crap you want, but play the original properly once at least). And it doesn't just stop there, the violins are playing such high quality crap that can put even SAR violins to shame! (the "ohhmygoddhowbyooodiful" comments they get from the 'judges' - :rotfl3:)
Sample - uravugal thodarkadhai
Vocals: iniyellaam (arguably the most goosebumby portion of the song)
violins: todadoin-pause-todadoin
vocals: sugamE
violins: tididoin-pause-tididoin :rotfl2: :hammer: :ungongongong:
Moral:
hariharization + SARization = deadliest double whammy. Run for cover!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9wv6CBZ0wk
NOW, IT'S NAVRATHRI! :-D
Vinatha.
ha ha.. I know what you mean - Hariharization = improvization, SARization = silly strings !! how very appropriate :-) . Yes, I watched this yesterday. Some of the kids are surely very talented though.. to sing like that at that age. but they are nowhere near the original. One of the good things that came about with IR using the same singers is .. they got very good at their art. We get variety/diversity in music these days but the depth is missing. I hope we get over this fascination with various genres and start sticking to some idiom and make serious music.Quote:

I have previously heard only the hariharan version - sadhana version is so haunting and so clean - that it stands shoulder to shoulder
in its mood and feel to "Vanaville" from Ramana.
As raja told shreya sometime back - you dont have to learn my language to bring the mood into the song - it is all there in the tune - every single aspect that connects mere sa re ga ma s to the emotion of the character - all encoded neatly. if anything else the interludes complete the effect . Singers can just sing, musicians can just play the note. nothing else is required - the completeness is in the composition.
