So nice to see a comment that starts with the words below in the BRangan blog:

As happy as I was reading an article about Ilaiyaraaja, as I was reading, the tone of the article felt a bit offensive to Ilaiyaraaja and his so called cult. Why was this piece even written in the first place? There was nothing new we learned about Ilaiyaraaja and his work/music style that haven’t been talked about by other competent directors.

app,

That post by Pavan in BR's blog was terrific and upto the point. I have replied there.

And here is why I replied, "I have Thandavakone on repeat. I can’t get over it. It’s so flippin epic I can almost understand the Tamil language and it’s beauty." If someone loves 'Thandavakone' I will certify him to have the highest taste in music

I think mastering is the final adjustments to a stereo track and also means the exact cd will be used as template for production.
Mastering studios have better systems for listening and voicing the tracks.
Somebody hinted IR is fleecing the producers by asking for a big orchestra. IR only wanted to go Budapest which would have been cheaper. But it looks like GVM wanted to go to London.
One song from anandha kummi was mixed/mastered in London, even in those days.
Not all audio systems can showcase IRs recordings very well. You need a resolving system to hear the natural acoustics.

irir123,

The best person to answer this question would be our Shank, who knows a lot about these things. If he is reading he can give a good idea as he is involved in all these processes.

uh oh! Then I dont saar because I loved only 1 song - Kaatru vazhi (or some lyrics like that - pardon my tamil...) sung by Ilaiyaraaja. The rest of the songs didnt work for me that much. but this raaja song is fantastic!

nerd... now that we cannot avoid it... it would be better we receive it with smile...
varattum... i am sure ppl here are gonna say its not bad...

ss, not sure what you intended here, but idhula enakku lighta idikkudhu (nahandhu pOlaam, irundhaalum summa, for the record).
For just that 1min sainthu sainthu teaser almost everybody here have vented their frustration and expressed their dislike. It’s unlikely that all these people will suddenly flip and say they are good when the full songs are out. It eventually is the person’s taste and, in this case, the ability to withstand certain things. I, for one, liked sainthu the very first time I heard it and I can guarantee it’s just not my Raaja piththu behind this. I don’t consider ysr to be a good singer, no; but in my books, I’d take his singing over many of the other new singers. I find it difficult sitting through songs sung by Krish, Aalaap Raju, Himmesh Reshamiya – I simply can’t stand their singing. Yes, we’re scratching the paathram, but ysr is better than these guys, IMO. Hell, I even have a ‘voice of ysr’ playlist in my player (with 10songs maybe – pattiyal, katradhu thamizh, thaakudhe kan thaakudhe, idhu kaadhala mudhal kaadhala). I think I’ve grown some kinda think skin to sidestep his voice and enjoy these songs (naangellaam growling’ye ‘part of music’ nu oththukittavanga )

To cut the long story short – people who can withstand, or even ‘like’ his singing will probably lap up the NEPV songs sung by ysr. The others here will mostly still crib about IR’s choice of vocalist but possibly enjoy the music, palla kadichukittu.

I have not heard much of YSR sung songs, but i now remember liking a song called "Poi Solla Manasukku" that I heard few years ago! Liked it somehow!
