Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[skr]

Could not come out of this wonderful collection for the past five days. Agi music has remastered the tracks quite beautifully. Enjoying it in full blast. Again most of the them are guitar dominated tracks.

Thendralidai Thoranangal - Eera Vizhi Kaaviyangal
The feel with which Raja sings this one is sheer bliss..The old world charm,the melancholic effect which the song produces is simply unimaginable..not to forget the guitar interlude which is simply mindblowing..The song may be ephemeral but the impact everlasting..
Its the last song in this wonderful collection..

Yes skr, every song in this collection is stunning! Starting from Kadhal Panpadu till Thendral Idai (actually last song from CD is 'En iniya pon') it is a feast to ears and soul.
Just want to mention 'Idhu Kanavugal' from Nizhal Thedum Nenjangal. Very Haunting composition by Maestro and excellently performed by Deepan Chakravarthi and SJ.
Not sure why Deepan is not singing these days. He still sings the same (as I recently watched some episodes of Ragamalika). I feel Raja and others should use him, very good singer.

[baroque]

minimalistic , meditative album with piano, guitar from Raja.
en gaanam arangerum.......is amazing too.
two acoustic guitars prelude, then violin & piano interlude
very jazzy Yesudas's kaadhal panpaadu.....
vinatha.

Back to Yevevo kalalu (Jwala)

I have pretty much no idea what the lyrics conveys, but I'm left with moist eyes at the end of the song.

EVK, in inducing an inner calmness, invoking absolute serenity, stands unparalleled.
In Pazhaya sogangal, when Raaja sings 'iravu karayadho, irulum vadiyadho', he does a Houdini - the world momentarily disappears.

The prelude of En Gaanam is heavenly and also i just love the descending chromatics bit during the 1st interlude..Its a song which transports you to another world..

Thanks KV for the Yevevo Kalalu song..its the 1st time im hearing this one..so many gems in Non Tamil films..this ones such a soulful number sung brilliantly by S Janaki..

In Pazhaya sogangal, when Raaja sings 'iravu karayadho, irulum vadiyadho', he does a Houdini - the world momentarily disappears.

Exactly my thoughts. Well said .

Black (Emptiness) is a great compilation, EVK alone will justify the purchase.

KV,

The 'Jwala' song is wonderful and yes the song is about sadness. It is a surprise as usual from Raja. We can't expect such a song in a Chiranjeevi movie from other music directors.

Currently stuck in ASK. The 'kuthikira' songs interludes are amazing. I don't think anyone can think of such deep interludes on synth as Raja can.

Impressive Guitar and synth works in either charanams in this Telugu classic.
