And where do these people hear 'vintage Raja' in this? I sometimes think people hear what they want and not actually what is recorded.

And where do these people hear 'vintage Raja' in this?

During 70's - 80's, i.e. when rAsA was peaking, there was this AkAshvANi news reader for Thamizh (which used to get relayed from Delhi in all TN AIR stations) called Saroj(a) Narayanswamy.

Wonderful reader!

The whole TN loved her voice, oru mAthiri vadakkaththiya AnAl sariyAna Thamizh uchcharippu etc. I was a regular listener to the 7.15 AM AkAshvANi news and her voice is embedded in my dimAg strongly.

Singer of the song on repeat in my car, 'mudhal muRai pArththa gnAbakam', Sunithi Chauhan, at times remind me of Saroj Narayanswamy

இளைஞர்களின் கனவு டைரக்டர் ராஜாவுடன் இணைவது எதிர்பார்ப்பை உருவாக்கியது. அதுவும் புடபெஸ்ட் இசைக்கலைஞர்களை வைத்து லண்டன் ஸ்டியோவில்ராஜா சூட்டுடன் லைவ் ரிகார்டிங் என்றதும் இன்னும் எதிர்பார்ப்பு எகிறியது.

எதிர்பார்ப்பு மற்றும் எகிறுவது இருந்தாலும் சில லாஜிக்கான கேள்விகள் இருக்கு. இசைஞானி இதுவரை போட்டது 5500 மேற்பட்ட பாடல்கள். எவ்வளவு வகையான உணர்ச்சிகள் அதிலும் அரைத்தமாவையே அரைத்த உணர்ச்சிகள்.2000-2012 வரையிலுமே கிட்டதட்ட 65 படங்கள்.கார் ரிஜிஸ்ட்ரேஷன் நம்பர் மாதிரி பலவித கலவைகளில் எல்லா உணர்ச்சிகளுக்கும் பாட்டு போட்டாகிவிட்டது.கட்டம் கட்டமாக தாண்டி வந்து ஒரு காட்டு காட்டியாகிவிட்டது. இப்போது மீண்டும் ஒரு காதல்கதை.பழையபாடல்களின் சாயல் இருக்காதா? அதே குறுக்கும் நெடுக்கும் பின்னணியிலும் பலவித இசைக்கருவிகளின் பின்னல்களா? அதே பல்லவிகளா?சரணங்களா?மிச்ச மீதி ஸ்டாக் இருக்கா?

சாயல் வராமல் இருப்பது உலக மகா கஷ்டம்.அதை நிறைய தவிர்க்கிறார் தன் திறமையால்

My review of 'katrai konjam'

Suresh ji,
As I said before, many could not even digest this success. They don't want this to happen. They are not seeing the music, they are seeing the man and his good old 80s. rediff is one among them, they want to intentionally play it down, so that that the soundtrack does not get its credit. Very cheap tricks. Let them be happy.

Hilarious review ever by rediff. But honestly, I didnt expect much anyway, given the quality of writing there. So no worries.

I was wracking my brain to recollect Saroja Narayanswamy name but I couldn't. My dad used to listen to her news. Indeed a great voice. I do see the connection with Sunidhi voice. Amazing App_engine. Thanks for solving the puzzle for me

btw, for some strange reason, I have been imagining as if K.B. Sundarambal sang Mudhal Murai!!!

[Shank]

app_engine, no problem...you mistook me for someone else..that's all. No offence taken at all.

Suresh65, thanks for your note too. The only two places I post are in BR's blog (as Shankar) and here (as Shank).

Thanks. I think all of us are trying to connect to his mind but as Usha (where is she?) used to say we are blind men in front of an elephant. I see one side and suddenly I find someone seeing some other side and I am surprised how I missed it !!! That's why I urge more people to write their impression on Raja's music so that we will get an idea on the different ways he has impressed people.

While that sax takeover of repeat pallavi into the second interlude of Saayndhu Saayndhu is haunting me for ever even in my dreams, today I just peeped into the last two songs of NEPV which I never listened earlier; PengaL endraaL and Satru Munbu. I am torn into pieces. Yuvan Ramya Na. Muthukumar . When Yuvan utters 'Kaathaadi' and when Ramya utters 'yEnada' and 'yennada' with NaM's touching lyrics, I am all done with my music searching. A male solo and a female solo, almost mirroring situation, yet what a contrast in the compositions. The hard rock mode given his nerve and a opera/classical mode for a depressing girl.

This soundtrack is a mighty one and a pinnacle in music (in terms of everything what music has to offer) no one can ever dream to touch it, not even reach it and it might take years/lifetime for us to get into it fully, still don't know for sure. Maestro has proved his 'raatchasan' in himself when it comes to music and the expectations. For God's sake please don't even compare this insane inhuman with any music directors/composers of any era or in any context. It will be a big shame to music.
