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

[jaiganes]

Jaiganes,
my choice is - Unnai thedi thedi.. sadhana.

Female Feelings in expressions ku - He is the KING..................

I like all songs (including 7 vannam konda). This song - the prelude - is perfect "New age" music - எங்கேயோ கொண்டு போய்டுதில்ல ?

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Aiyiram MalargalE malarungal amutha geetham padungal - wow what a tune, Jency maam's voice , IR 's compostion , with yester year beauty Rati Agnihotri! In fact I loved all the songs in the film.

Iru paravaigal malai muzhuvathum inge again by Jency maam ! and a commical 'Muthul muthulaga kadhal duet' by Balu sir and Janaki amma!

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.

I agree with you 100% on this. I miss 80's IR 'Terribly' , since 2000 the only projects of IR I loved were 'Azhagi' and 'Naan Kadavul'

Exactly ,though I put the same thing in a different way some time back......

I was just listening to Hey Unnaithane from "Kadhal Parisu" and this ranks top in raja's HIGH ENERGY songs...

The ENERGY house of SPB contributed enormously towards this song! another similar song is ilamai ithO ithO from Sakalakalavalavan

[crvenky]

A great song from Kiratakudu:


I am unable to place the raga exactly. Somebody, please clarify.

The list goes on and on SPB needs a special mention as he is the only singer who can do justice for these kind of songs..

Superb SPB apart, look at the way the drums complete the saraNam!

There's a karoke version of this song in the original LP record which was often used as "cassette end filler" by recording centers and one can hear them often on buses etc.

The energy of the drums adi (tam-tum-dam-dachchAAing) for the 'நான் தான் சகல கலா வல்லவன்' part - I don't remember listening to something powerful like that recently...it's mostly "tsk-tsk" stuff
