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

[app_engine]

Parking lot listen this morning :

சங்கீத மேகம் தேன் சிந்தும் நேரம் ஆகாயம் பூக்கள் தூவும் காலம்
நாளை என் கீதமே எங்கும் உலாவுமே நாளை என் கீதமே எங்கும் உலாவுமே
என்றும் விழாவே என் வாழ்விலே
(படு ஜோரான எஸ் பி பி, உதய கீதம் படத்தில்)

It's possible that Puru was in-charge of the rhythm section (or played drums or both). What a flow! This song, pAdavA un pAdalai and such ones had that "running" kind of feeling evoked simply by drums (check out the prelude of this song or the second interlude of pAdavA un pAdalai for e.g.)

And combine that with some strong wind instruments and powerful string sections, you make people feel like they're sitting in a race car!

sangeetha mEgham's second interlude can easily compete for a place among the "all-time-top-ten" in TFM!

I don't get this kind of high with ANY of IR's new songs, though he should have access to all kinds of high tech. / better recording etc now.

They simply LACK energy! This has nothing to do with nostalgia, bias etc as I try to be 100% objective. (compare sangeetha megam with any of ponnar-sankar songs, for e.g.).

This has nothing to do with the singers as I'm talking mainly about prelude / interludes.
