right..the notes for 'raja magaL' seem to match ..from them on it seems to be different. Probably a coincidence or a very remote subconcious inspiration.Quote:

The thing that amazed me in Babel is the wonderful use of silence.. a la IR style...
Also I would encourage tfm folks to watch Cinema Paradiso at any cost... it affects you at every level ..period.
IHMO.. its on of the best BGMS my life has witnessed...(must be in the top 3) ... its a classic.. i couldnt help recollecting IR and how he would have done it..
"pazhassi rAjA" launch pics...

All the previous movies by Hariharan-MTV combo with Bombay Ravi as the MD provided some extraordinary melodies (yes, in each of them)...ippO Raja sir is involved in a project with them...mmmm...one thing is sure, if this combo cannot extract some decent melodies from IR (not necessarily great orchestration but tuneful melodies that melt the heart), we can almost conclude that IR needs to stick to only BGM in the realm of film music and no more songs...
Even without Hariharn, the MTV / Bombay Ravi combo with Bharathan gave some extraordinary stuff
in 'vaishali'...We need to wait and see how IR is faring...it's kind of a litmus test for the current level of creativity for him...I'm sure this team won't settle for any kind of rehashes as they are known to show marked difference in each of their films...
And this wikipedia user article on Bombay Ravi does some comparisons with IR...

"...it's kind of a litmus test for the current level of creativity for him..."
app_engine,
Please think twice before letting out this kind of comments. Ilaiyaraja needs a litmus test now after reaching the most unreachable peaks of film music ??, that too from some Hariharan and MTV ??
Btw.. for those people who doubt IR's present creative juices or style, just listen again to "Thanka Thinkal.." from Manasinakkare and "Swasathin Thaalam.." from Achuvinte Ammaa !
No, the old Raja is not lost ! He is still here, just that he does not do it in Tamil :(
raja_fan, didn't I say "current level"? :-) Even those films that you've quoted are now "old"...
Seriously, only in 2006/07 we see a marked higher percentage of remixes / rehashes with Raja's film music...(shiva, anumanaspadam, mayakkannadi etc....cheeni kum will be similar too and what else is in the making BTW?)
And your statement "that too from some Hariharan and MTV "...what can I say...Please do a search on their movies...let's recognize that there're talents in the world besides Raja...
And it's been observed by many DF'ers other than myself of Raja not doing justice to the "fewer" movies he's doing currently...(at least in the songs)...
A few of the justifications for mediocre songs in the recent movies by Raja are summarised below:
-no great director (or other crew) to "extract" good melodies
-no interesting subject to thrill him to come up with interesting score
-no "big" projects involving big names
Well, now we have this 'pazhassi rAjA' which satisfies all the above criteria...That's why I said it's a litmus test...pArppOm...I'm confident that IR can rise to the occasion and provide a scintillating score...

one of those many that show up when I did a google on Hariharan + MT Vasudevan nair...
Apparently, the audio of Raja's new Malayalam movie Vinodayatra (Sathyan Anthikkad) is released couple of days back. It has 4 beautiful melodies.
I found the songs here

Guys listen to mandarapoo..its very refreshing and IR-standard melody...now that is the style of tune that we want from IR..:thumbsup:
Thenippayum has a enterprising prelude and that coming from IR..so hip...:P
