2015 Summary of IR Albums

[Hulkster]

This year was probably IR's answer to the new trend in the industry. Shamitabh's stereophonic sonnata and Thaarai thappattai theme is the best hallmark of the IR genre. He basically showed that music is one by replacing the typical instruments for both songs with something completely not expected yet producing the same result. It doesn't matter that human chorus, electric guitar and pop elements were replacing the tribal percussions of asaiya kaathula in sterephonic sonnata OR the fact that nadhaswaram was replacing the violins in thaarai thappattai theme, they are all the same when it comes to music.

There were so many other indications of his incorporation of new sounds/instruments in yevade subramanyam, abbayitho ammayi and rudrama devi. This year has been the strongest indication that he has already evolved to explore a new ocean in music.
