"Naan avan illai.." ) Well.. there is someone with the same name. I hardly watch any movies.. My world is just Raaj's music and nothing else...

orE conpees pa!

I think this Shank is not that Shankar.

[ajaybaskar]

Oh. Ok.. That Vinod has a 's suffixed IIRC. Orey kanpeesanappa..

[Shank]

V_S, this Shank is that Shankar. App_engine's comment seemed to be sarcastic. That's why I was confused as to why he felt that way since I was an ardent Raja fan...there are many who can vouch for that here.

This is just my assumption. Maybe app_engine did not mean it in that way...in that case, case vaapas vangikiren

My first look at Saaindhu Saaindhu. Still not sinked in completely. (Also this is based on mp3 version, not sure how it will vary with CD version).

I am always excited to hear how Maestro finishes the charanam and connects to pallavi. I bet no one can finish like him. Either it gets extended and extended only to stop somewhere abruptly or goes somewhere beyond reach unable to comeback or somehow manages to connect with some vague arrangements. This is one of the best strength of Maestro which is not discussed much. Maestro just needs two bars to reach to pallavi/anupallavi wherever he is coming from. Here he doesn't need that too as he connects to pallavi intelligently with zero bar, yes immediately. See how it is. When Ramya sings 'kaalam vandhu vandhu kOlam idum' it so high and you will never know the next line is actually an indirect connect to pallavi, as the next line is nothing but the anupallavi lines; 'un kaNNai paarthaale'. This is exactly the same as 'viralOdu viral pEsa'. Suddenly he drops from higher pitch to anupallavi lines with amazing ease. If you hum the line, kaalam vandhu vandhu kOlam idum, confidently we can say the next line would also be similar in the higher pitch, but Raja does a big surprise by attaching anu-pallavi tune in the next line which is way off the mark from the earlier line, but how it gets attached successfully is still a puzzle to me.

V_S,

Wonderful breakdown of Saindhu Saindhu. I especially liked your explanation for this saranam connection to Pallavi. It is something I like to watch out. MSV sir, also goes crazy with this saranam-pallavi connection in his songs. Raja has bit more restriction because he is also trying to create a western classical layer on top these saranam-pallavi innovation. In a sense, Raja is trying to have the cake and eat it too! Like you said it is Raja's talent to make this work effectively and aesthetically pleasing.


App_engine,

I read your review. Excellent review. Thanks for giving me some support on Pengal Yendral
