Extraordinary Tamil, other India film songs & World Musi
I want to place another platform like the thread for Perfect Melodies to present superb Indian film songs and unknown composers most of us may have missed. If we open our minds we can find many unconventional yet extraordinary musical approaches. The magic of Indian film songs is not really in the pallavi or the rhythm or orchestration but it is all in the way the stanzas come out. That is where the "beauty of the genius" of the composer really is. (Let me tell you now, no one like Sam Joseph or Shyam in the stanzas!!)
I like two young composers who are way ahead for their age and the current musical scene, I think. You can get a sense of the benchmark I am employing:
Joshua Sridhar - "June July" Kalloori
http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/...p?mid=T0001232
Bennett Veeratag - "Puthu Manjupol" Dr. Patient
http://devaragam.com/vbscript/MusicN...x?MovieId=2121
and, also an old Hindi song
R D Burman "Liyo Na Babu Tani" - Kahte Hein Mujko Raja
& world music,
The Shins - "Sea Legs"
Just wait, I found some amazing ones and will look for more.

Puthu Manjupol is the song by Bennett Veeratag that made me think of this topic and see if it can help us all get to know of some out of the box and visionary compositions. Check this song out and you can understand the meaning of this topic and the benchmark I am using to place compositions to your delight.
Actually the title I was going for was - "Astounding songs/composers in Indian films, and musical progress abroad" Note to Admin: Is it possible to change the topic title? Thanks.

natha,
Since you are the author, you can edit by yourself. Login, go to your Ist post click edit and change the title.
I dont understand properly do you mean to say JS - Kaloori & RDB "Liyo Na" are unknown melodies and unknown composers. I am also looking for a common thread to expand the knowledge of Global music and discuss how our Indian composers fared, CT would be a better place. Let see what others say!

Scale, thanks a lot. I meant extraordinary/unconventional songs and also discovery of less popular/unknown/came and left the scene composers in that process.
I will give you another example - the L Vaidyanathan in Malayalam, you got to listen to this song and stanza and rhythm!

Aakasha Medaikku in Venal kinavukal - KJY (super singing) Excellent example for superb stanza also, check out

Puthu Manjupol is terrific! Gutsiest choice to open this topic.

After listening to Pudhu Manjupol & Aaromale, brings back some haunting memories of 60's & 70's music from the giants
We may hear similar songs in Tamil very soon.

There were many I found along with this song and I said I got to share this amazing amazing bold bold and outstanding melodies with you all. And, not to say less of June July song of Joshua Sridhar - fantastic stanza, powerful!
