IR's New albums - Ver 2008/2009

[baroque]

Just checked out one song, raja_fan.

Sathyan Andhikad was handed over a slight variant of ethereal gundu malli gundu malli...solla marandha kadhai tune in a thira....karthik.
Tune has been rehashed enough by IR.
Same tune has been used in 1999 - film Annan..vayasu pulla....sujatha & IR.

rest I check out tomorrow..

now இன்ப கலைகள் எத்தனையோ அது என்று தொடங்கியது யாரறிவார்?
சொல்லி தரவும் மீதம் உண்டோ ..
இந்த சொர்க்க சுகங்கள் தந்தது யார்
காலங்கள் இங்கே நின்றதோ....
what a song! that's my man.. ROMANCE KING!
பயங்கரமா நான் மாட்டிண்டுட்டேன்! good for me, VINATHA.

[MumbaiRamki]

Plum ,
I too feel some of the Raaja's sounds are bit dated - but athu oru feel thaan , it is diffcult to prove it in a analytical way .

[jaiganes]

adade!!
plum ipppadi varisaya vandhu ragging panninaal oruththar enna pannuvaar?
chill chill..

[inetk]

Plum naina, Ramki solra maadhiri ellaam oru feel dhaan. Ungalukku thonudhu - date koodathunnu. Enakku thonala.

[Hulkster]

Inetk were you really sarcastic about this review or you were really giving your opinion? Thought you did not like him rehashing his tunes?

[Hulkster]

Can see why Karthik likes it, its not the tune but its the orchestration, makes it look like the old days of raja, but it is so brilliantly worked on that you dunt feel the rehash feel getting to you.

[crajkumar_be]

@crbe - itwofs karthik is a well known raja fan -

Idhukku badhila neenga Raaja-va asingama tharamatta ketta vaarthaila thittirukkalaam

i find his reviews pretty good. Only point of contention being the 'dating of sound/music' apart from that his reviews have been consistent IMO.

Nalladhu. Yerkanave inga sonna madhiri, idhellam subjective, personal opinions, anju veralum ore madhiri irukkaadhu etc, etc - granted. However, neenga paakka vendiya vishayam enna na, "incongruous" rhythm in "Kannil Paarvai"-amaam and an implicit implication that certain songs/concept/music is outdated (please note the diff between outdated sounds and music). MC Hammer rap is outdated now. Is Mozart outdated? I mean Raaja's music does have aspects (sounds) which are 'outdated'. adhu vera vishayam....

Neenga konjam kooda coola irukkaradhu better.

Vasthavam dhaan but ivaru 'reviews' ellam serious-a eduthukka koodadhu dhaan (especially NK/NL in comparison to glowing tributes on GVP, VS, etc etc), but indha Raaja fan nu solradhellam three much. adhuvum, "waiting forever"-amaam. I strongly urge you to re-read the NK 'review' vis-a-vis the others
And i seriously mean that comment about eclectic European influences and all. Padathukku thevaya, illayaannu kavala kedayaadhu, contemporary 'popular' forms of music-o, "world music"o illenna naanga outdated, incongruous nu amukkiduvom

There is a difference between not liking a song/album and ascribing "musicology" reasons like the aforementioned.

[irir123]

listened to Bhagyadevata - definitely sounded fresh to me - even the rehashes dont seem to be so - thats how clever IR can get - but the overall feel of the album is very positive and 2009 has so far been promising as far as IR's albums are concerned!

I now have gr8 hopes on Pazhassi Raja, Mayilu et al (if at all they get released) and of course the BGM of Nandhalala

only hope is that all his forthcoming CDs are easily available

[inetk]

Hulkster: I really like this soundtrack. Been on nonstop loop.

As for the other vayetherichal jaalra, here goes.

"Idhukku badhila neenga Raaja-va asingama tharamatta ketta vaarthaila thittirukkalaam"

Yempa? Neenga mattum pooja panni Rajavukku orey fan'a irukkanuma? Unagala maadhiri naalu jaalra porum, Rajavukku.

"Nalladhu. Yerkanave inga sonna madhiri, idhellam subjective, personal opinions, anju veralum ore madhiri irukkaadhu etc, etc - granted.

The words 'outdated', 'incongruous' are from my point of view. Yaarume onnume solla koodadha? Opinion irundha neenga illadha forum'a paathu post pannanuma?

"Vasthavam dhaan but ivaru 'reviews' ellam serious-a eduthukka koodadhu dhaan (especially NK/NL in comparison to glowing tributes on GVP, VS, etc etc), but indha Raaja fan nu solradhellam three much. adhuvum, "waiting forever"-amaam. I strongly urge you to re-read the NK 'review' vis-a-vis the others LOL

If you're so concerned about 'padathukku thevaya illiya' please write on Raja's compound wall about it. Why bother about others point of view? That too as if this is a personal insult! Why are you so insecure that you expect the entire world to like NK? And that too, for the same reasons as yours!

"There is a difference between not liking a song/album and ascribing "musicology" reasons like the aforementioned."

'Outdated' and 'incongruous' are reasons based on musicology? Far from it...they're plain English words and have meanings beyond music. From a normal listener's pov - not a fanatic's pov.
