Where were you IR all these days !!

The orchestration is very much late 90's and post 2000's style of Raaja. Its evolved version of post kathalukku mariyathai, kannukul nilavu, time, manasellam....pattern.

The best song of the album 'Om sivohum' cannot be stamped as folk song IMHO. It has shades of kodava (konkan) folk style, WCM, Little bit of Latin american style, tamil folk style, North Kerala - Mangalorian style, Aryan tribal Style....the styles I got to identify

ethana vaatti solrathu itha "he is the only man who can fuse such diverse and multiple genres in one song and yet make it sound very simple"

yeah I know you havent listened to the whole song. Will try to rip and upload later

Oh thanks RS

. Can understand hubbers' delight over tracks 6 and 7 but like you said track 7 is a superb fusion. But i liked the percussive rhythms the best. You knows its a different genre but at the same time it has raja's stamp especially the mridhangam touches towards the end of the sample. We always ignore thalaivar's percussive work, the most innovative and complicated i have heard among all composers.

Where do i get to listen to complete songs? I dont stay in Bangalore to buy the cd

Is the album up on any of the online streaming music sites (other than musicindiaonline,coz i cant access it).

Guys, i am alrready jealous

that you guys are relishing the album while i am trying be content with the samples provided with Suresh!

**Hulkster** · 15th May 2009, 01:12 PM

Yeah even kannadaaudio.com has no tracks yet. And they hold the latest audio out of the rest mp3 sampling sites for kannada songs.

**Sureshs65** · 15th May 2009, 01:21 PM

raagas,

I am sure it will be up soon in some site soon. If at all you need the CD, I can always buy one and post it to you. No problem. The CD is very nominally priced.

What about me in Singapore?

BTW the prelude of track 1, "muthamma" i think is quite innovative. Just listen to the synth, has a distinctive indonesian style. Meesical experts can elaborate.

despite the fresh start for IR this year, the bigger problems will be:

1. the way these films do well in BO (that the songs of 'Nannevanu' will be hilariously picturised wth costumes in all sorts of weird colors in Kannada is a given!)

2. how much these albums are received by ppl ?? any stats as to the sales of 'Azhagar malai' ? am sure it will be well-received in Madurai and surrounding areas

irir123,
I think we are past beyond the point of no return for IR in terms of sales, or getting back his reigns on film music.

Generations have changed. People are after a different genre of music.

However, IR still never fails to please HC fans. Being one of them, I think I shall be content and take that to my grave.
