v_sji, thanks a lot for the link.
sad that it's so difficult to get hold of even a decent copy of this album.

agi music, are you listening?

Ennenna paada padhuththuraan - Aandaan Adimai
Oozing with the nectar of Sivaranjani, what a beauty of a composition. The interludes, aaha, enna arumai.

baroque madam, this sivaranjini's dedicated to you

plum/thumburu or anyone with the rant that there are very few good female solos/duets post 2000, check this one out.

kuyilukkuppam again on loop on the car. Still longing, I had a "parking lot listen" also

The song, as I mentioned before, has an uncharacteristic start for a BR-IR combo but only gets better as it progresses (especially from the arrival of that unadultered honey voice of KSC) and one longs it not to end

And make it repeat!

And an OOTW 2nd interlude! Great song! :thumbusup:

A real treasure from "Katrinilae Varum Geetham" album is "Kanden Engum" the bgm is so refreshing and bouyant with nice echo effect...but the bgm is the real shining star....such a heady rush!! Janaki's voice...need i even mention how sweet she sounds? The second interlude is curious...wanders away on a journey of its own and is ushered back by Janaki's humming...the flute phase that comes after is yet another lilting treat...such a rich treat for the ears, each time you relish some isolated part while still mesmerized by the whole piece...the unexpected has long been become the expected with the Maestro...

"Oruvaanavill Pole" from Kaatril Varum Geethamae
smooth and melodic, cheerful and Jayachandran's voice is so fitting! Their humming accompanying each others' singing...what a nice touch!!

(always thought Muthuraman looked so charming and dapper)

Was reminded instantly from some reason of another Raja gem: Neengathe Ennam (is it just me??)

Ooradangum saamathila... [Pudhupatti Ponnuthayie] lovely song, flute in the interlude is magical.

On kanden engum, can someone clarify my 10 year search - is the mythical P Suseela version of the song real? Does it exist? I have the Vani and Janaki versions. The doubt is sort of reconcilled with the fact that Kavitha is supposed to have played 3 roles in the movie. (Kavitha in 3 roles - the director must have been on some roll of nasha...)

as far as my amateurish search for the full album goes, I have not come a version or a song in this album by P.Susheela, but some albums list "Kanden Engum" as "Kannil Minnum" song with Vani.

On a whole other note:
But upon stumbling upon the full album found "Chithra Sevvanam" which appears again in Telugu movie "April 1st Vidhudhala"

(Sorry IR fans I'm sure someone has mentioned this, and I have just forgotten....)

Really a wow album...though don't really like the ghost version as much...too jarring with its "ghost alert" musical inserts...like the "living" version so much more...

"Engengo Sellum" always leaves me awestruck...you could just swoon and be carried away by its beautiful day-dreaminess....love it!!....superb echo effect, my beloved strings playing their hearts out, soaring above the clouds and with not a care in the world....a very classy carpet ride....
