These two plus Vizhiyile Malarnthathu shares similar tabla, that pulsating thick sound. Nice going app, I listen to the SPB song more than any others in Meendum Kokkila.

ஆஹா இதுக்கு Plum mode னே வச்சிட்டீங்களா? அதுவும் சரிதான். நாமெல்லாம் பழங்கள் தானே? :lol:

:lol: Suresh!

App, Grouch, more than the rhythm pattern (table beat, etc), its the way the tune is laid out, which gives it that jive... oru poovanathula <break> suham kulukulunguthu <break> vandu then kudikuthu <break>.... Not that its something that hasn't been done before, but this pattern (er.. staccato?) in combination with the tabla works beautifully.

App, gap vidaama adikkareenga! Hey orayiram was another Chennai vaanoli discovery for me. Borrowing baroque's terminology... loverboy SPB dhaan! What a pleasant experience it is to listen to him along with the magic that IR weaves around his voice.

Veering a bit off topic, one thing that caught my attention in App’s post was the word ‘Gokila’. For someone like me who has lived all his life outside TN, it’s a bit amusing to see letters getting inter-changed this way. I understand that Thamizh grammar has this concept of shared letters, but when this goes beyond writing in Thamizh, into instances while speaking the language or while writing in it English, it becomes a bit funny. Kokila to kogila/gokila/gogila, Gopal to Kobal, COBOL to GOBOL, pump to pambu, tank to tang, One classic case which triggered a debate with my friend was Thalabadhi & Dhalapathi, which my gulty friend insists, (latter) is the right way to pronounce and that I was inverting all the sounds/letters the tamilian way!
Is this pazhakka dosham so arduous to overcome, even for someone like App who enjoys his share of Indhi cinema?

In the Same film (Meendum Kokila) the humming done by SPB+SJ and the Flute/Mirudungam (or was it tabla) intro by IR in "Radha radha nee engE" is simply :thumbsup:

I believe both of these have repeat interludes...I'm sure there are some more of them. I can't recall now, but even "Muthirai Eppodhu" from Uzhappali (lovely song, BTW, with superb vocal scale) might have repeat interludes.

Good catch on 'pOttu vaiththa kAdhal thittam OK kaNmaNi' - interludes appear to be ditto.

OTOH, 'thaththOm thalAngu thaththOm' has only repeat phrases thru out (even prelude & postlude have the same phrases) but the interludes are not total ditto.
