New age IR's Raga Choices

[thumburu]

Suresh and V_S, Iam aware of how much SRR, as an album has resonated with u guys and I must Include plum who has written pages about the songs and movie as a whole. Good for all of u. The heart knows no reason and that is all that matters. What I find unpalatable is the " teknikal mulaam " like saraswathi/charamathi given to that too a rotten apple like “sanku shakraala” . So be it. I remember Mumbai Ramki terming it as plain embarrassment. May be I should have articulated better. More than the raga, it is the treatment, showing a novel facet of a raga , that counts.May be that was an excuse given to myself for finding “Jagadhanandha karaka” AND “Ramayanamu” just “good” and not “excellent”. My best pick from SRR,”Devulle menchulle” and my pick of 2011, “bhavani varugira” – I don’t care what ragas they are . Iam fascinated by these 2. Period.
