NEPV on loop..
Pudikkala maamu - man that funny crazy second interlude is cruelly short - the way it was shaping up... really exhilarating..
and what a funky post lude!! superb stuff this..
all over ppl are saying that 'King has returned' I keep asserting - He was there all along - just now ppl woke up to the cheap imitations they have
been worshipping all these days.

இதுக்கு இன்னொரு அர்த்தம் இருக்குன்னு நினைக்கத் தோணுதுங்க. பெண்கள் என்றால், முதல் முறை பார்த்த போன்ற பாடல்களின் குரல் உணர்வு வெளிப்பாடுகள் மக்களுக்கு கடந்த பத்து பதினைந்து ஆண்டுகளாக கொஞ்சம் பழகிடுச்சி. அதனால் அந்த நீரோட்டத்தில் ராஜாவும் இப்போ கலந்துகிட்டார் என்றும் என்னோட சில நண்பர்கள் சொல்றாங்க. அவர்களின் அந்தப் பார்வையும் சரியே.

Voted for 6/8, all the middle ones. I have started liking peNgaL enRaal too, but Yuvan is absolutely horrible in this.

In one sense, yes - i.e. featuring in a TF of better commercial recognition after a very long time (unlike 'off-from-mainstream-movies', made more for curiosity etc like NK / NL / AK)!

NEPV is the biggest in TF for IR, after virumANdi...

I have to say - Raaja eppavume indha 'neerottathula' irundhukittu dhaan irukkaar. 2000s he even deployed 'malathi' in manmadha raasa mode in couple of movies. plus this view on 'westernised female' voice in vogue - Raaja was the pioneernga. Rewind to 'Usha utup' in anjali or Malgudi shabba in Nadodi thendral. neengallam ippathaan muzichu irundhu kekkureengaa (or jangallaam ippadi market panninaa dhaan kekkuraanga).

My writeup on 'Satru Munbu': http://onlyraja.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/234/

With this I have written about all the songs First time I am doing this for any album. And I think this album deserves the special attention we are giving it. I plan to write one more post on the overall album and the challenge Gautam has. (Hopefully I will do it tomorrow) After that I am planning to resume the normal service in #Raja90s. Who knows, we may get some clue of NEPV there as well. With Raja everything is new and everything is something he has already done !!!!

+infinity. Since NEPV is getting attention, many people think Raja has just now joined the mainstream and trend. The latest example being Paa, Suryakanthi, Ponnar Shankar. How many of them listened to these songs. Sutthama maranthutaanga. Most of all, in thamizh he was never given such chance recently in big movies having this kind of subject. He has been doing this all the time, but summarily dismissed just based on the movie, IR's name and its reach. When now Gautam gets IR, suddenly everyone started listening to him and praising him.

The "Tharunam Tharunam" sudden in-flush (overfilling the sandham, as someone pointed out, and someone wondered if it was poor lyric writing in action) in Vaanam mella:

Non-Family_Friendly Message follows - pls read at discretion. White fontla pOduREn. yArum thittAdhIngOv


"Tharunam Tharunam" creates a feeling as if someone is plucking a guitar, if you see what I mean.

Don't know if you are referencing a similar comment I made about the lyrics in the original review of mine. I like it when those notes repeat with different lyrics at the end of second saranam. I'm still not convinced about "Tharunam, Tharunam"

Fantastic! Fantastic! Suresh ji. You have brought in that atmosphere right into your writing. The biggest surprise in this song apart from that stunning mood and brilliant orchestration in WC is, as I mentioned earlier that how he incorporates opera style melody. Normally opera is sung in chorus which gives that theatrical/dramatic effect. This effect is only achievable with choir, as the depth of singing can be heard clearly. We can feel the drama in the tune itself. But here, Maestro achieves that with a female solo alone. Choir comes only during second charanam and in the last pallavi to give that dramatic effect. Before that, the main tune is itself composed in opera style. In every line there is a dramatic twist, goes high and immediately low, then high. All these are the distinguished features of opera. The prelude starts in a dramatic fashion.

We can see how the melody varies greatly between every line, giving that dramatic touch.
nenjam thudippathum minnal adippathayum sol
oh ho.. unnai pirithida ennai erithu nee sel (beautiful!)
ellam nee poi endru solvaaya? oh.. ho..

and in charanam..
thEngi pona oru nadhiyena indru naanada..!!
thaangi pidikka un thOLgaL illaiyE
thananthani kaattil indha kaadhal vaada

Especially the last line above, thananthani kaatil indha kaadhal vaada which is very high followed by sudden drop to satru munbu.

kaainthu pona en kannathil vannam malarumaa?
theintha vennilaa thirumba valarumaa?
thottu thottu paesum unthan kaigal yenge?

Wonderful lyrics!!

That second interlude and the finishing as you said, Bloody hell! Totally insane stuff!! You finished it brilliantly, 'The most uncompromsing song of the album'.
