No numbers there, but this coming from Sify is a surprise (with their proven negative bias for raja).
I am so very impressed with this album; This has something for everyone.
Has TFM ever heard such rich orchestration, wonderful blend of music genres in a single album.

For Raja Fans like us, it is natural to repeat songs like satru munbu, vaanam mella in a loop. If we are talking about general public, i think atleast two out of {Mudhal murai, ennodu vaa, pudikala maamu, saynthu, kaatrai konjam } likely to move to " very popular" list.

sify = sori pudichha site ! avingalukku Raaja and Kamal, rendu perodu padaippugal yendraley by default, ilakkaaram thaan ! totally rejected website

My review of 'Pengal Enraal': http://onlyraja.wordpress.com/2012/0...-ponvasantham/

Excellent review!

After senthilv.com, nice to see another great support for this "so-far-underrated" song!

almost all the melodies are polyphony with instruments travellin parallel to the lead voices... (idha ennanu solluveenga? not counterpoint i know)
voice'a cut pannittu kaetta ellaa song'um by default instrumentalaa irukkum...
thats one reason i think why Ir did not bother much abt using renouned singers...

IMHO, except for choosing to sing himself the 'vAnam mella' song, IR possibly didn't indulge in singer choices for this album...Gautam possibly decided on all (if not most) of them...

Which is actually good...I guess that works well for general public (though not necessarily to those "80's-fanatics", me excluded)

[SoftSword]

the ennodu va va first intelude makes me think of some thrilling sequence on screen, while the song is performed on stage...
johny- kaatril song interludes'la thalaivar Odi varuvaarae andha maadhiri...
aduttha interlude kaettaa vaera maargamaa irukku... enna nenachutrukkaapla?

choosing himself was by gvm's insistance if what i heard is right...

not only the second interlude but the song itself did a 180 degree turn travel from second interlude to end of song. B(K) synth use-nu solraa. may be a intentional one by IR n GVM

BTW, don't get excited over sify telling record sales etc...IMO, it's a promotional site...strong possibility that Gautam uses it for marketing. (Their prior article on the launch concert gives me this hint...)

sify coverage of launch event

Jaya TV will be telecasting the NEP audio launch, a fitting tribute to Ilayaraja showcased with a touch of class by the genius Gautham Vasudeva Menon.

They have been regularly covering the teasers too as 'awesome' 'great' etc...IMO, Sify's employed as a promoter

Yes Sakala. But not in uyirmmai.com and their monthly magazine uyirmmai. Remember Shajis article criticising Raja and his music an year or two back and Charu niveditha rubbishing Rajas music in Naan kadavul, Nandalala and Ask. Charu praised these movies as world class and thrashed music as the sole sore point! These articles were obviously biased and UYirmmai published it unashamedly. So it is rather a shock to read an article which is in tune with the world views. May be saner counsels prevailed this time!
