Roja-Puthu Vellai Mazahi
A century in his 1st album from Arr what a genius the opening of this song is unbeliveble.

[selvakumar]

I second this :D
I also liked ARR's Humming for "New York Nagaram"
and
"THEEYIL VIZHUNTHA" from GODFATHER :)

The opening music in "Kaadellaam pichi poovu" song from 'Karaiyellam senbagapoo' film..
Starts with drums and all western instuments.. then jumps to violin and flute as the camera captures the fields.. almost a 45 sec bit before the song starts..

[music man]

May Madham---> Margazhi Poove..Superb starting with drums loop and strange chirping of tat bird sound with jazz guitar and synth..Wow..I simply love this song..

[dinesh2002]

what about Duet's Anjali Anjali's starting which lasts for 1.50 mins.... a great combination of some comp loops,chitra's vocal humming & saxaphone....

"Elangaathu veesudhey" :D from Pidhamagan :thumbsup:

[MADDY]

for me "Chandralekha" from Thiruda Thiruda had the best opening ever for a tamil song...

[ansa400]

"En uyir thozhiye" from Kangalal Kaidhu sei... the piano bit was cool & I like the notes that followed 2,,,not sure abt the use of instruments though,,,

[music man]

Wat about "Malargale Malargale" from Love Birds..Superb flute..Great opening..

[music man]

Almost all songs from Iruvar and Duet had great starts..Particularly "Naan Paadum Sandham" from Duet.
Hello Mr.Ethirkatchi, Vennilla, Aayirathil Naan Oruvan, the jingoistic Kannai katti kollathe all from Iruvar
Not to forget "Oruvan oruvan" from Muthu

ohh yea.... :D :D....another creative openin...

maddy, Thiruda Thiruda whole album is just simply too good...even if u listen now, be it Veerapandhi Kothayille,Thee Thee,Chandraleka or Kannum Kannum,putham puthu boomi all has amazing beats arrangments and also a very fresh approach... to tell u the truth, i still cant digest that Thee Thee & Chandralekha songs were composed in the year 1992/3 ....its too good...speechless to comment on the programming & vocal arrangements...and the loops that were used....goodness...amazing!! Thiruda Thiruda - easily can be said tamil album which is timeless.....

[Vysar]

Listen to Nizhalgal "Poongathavae Thaazh Thiravaai" opening music violin and Veena mesmerizing treat to your ears and mind.

[Scale]

IMO, There is no complete song without a prelude & interludes which evokes the mood of the song instantly. I would add ARR, a devoted follower of his predecessors's system in this section. The thing he makes it much more grand adds glory to his versatile compositions.

Ennavale - Naveen Flute medhakkura madhiri irukkum (RNKC - Lagaan)
Thee Thee - Any better prelude?? :roll: :million claps:
july madham - Prassana's Nylon string classical guitars
YJDHT - Shehnai & ho hoi chorus
Maa Tujhe Salam - Makes me stand & salute
Thendrale - ARR's keyboard

Shall list some more later which arent discussed....

[alwarpet_andavan]

Ilamai Idho Idho.

exactly Dinesh, it was after thiruda thiruda only ppl. in TN realised the power of ARR and his music.....music was easily 5-6 yrs ahead of its times.......infact it was after thiruda thiruda only i completely stopped listening to other MDs songs.......also, this album makes a mockery of theory that ARR's songs dont have longevity......really barring a few, for youth of 90's Thiruda thiruda is a evergreen album.....btw u shuld have been a 5 yr old when TT came isnt it?? :wink:

hehe..yea :P :oops: though i have some memories on thiruda thiruda & kadhalan that time... imagine the impact of the songs could give on a kid when he was 5 & 6 Y/o... :wink: thouhg i became a hardcore ARR fan only after Kadhalar Dhinam, its still misterious when i think about how could ARR composed TT during 1992 only.... esp chandralekha,world class beat arrangements, not 4getting Thee Thee, how did ARR adopt the " thakithe tha tha " into a western peice.... :clap:

Mella Mella - Vazhkai

[callmeshyam]

This one from "Pagal Nilavu" is a no brainer. The orchestration and violin prelude is simply out of this world

Superb choice... :thumbsup:

[thumburu]

I repeat again that every other song from IR has that mesmerising prelude be it "oru pattaampoochi nenjil" or even the latest "nilavai chutri" from Madhu. But from non IR stable, VS has done a fantastic job in the songs "nakshathira paravaikku" and "ThangakiLi" - movie "Paramasivam". The former song opening is like a mini symphony and instantly reminds me of those glorious WCM days of IR. Even the chorus voice of the kids is very well done. In "ThangakiLi", the melody is so enchanting although it resembles "vaNNa nilavukku", an IR song from "Rickshaw mama", the opening female chorus is simply bewitching like thousand colorful butterflies fluttering. AWESOME!!!

[Nakeeran]

Uravenum pudhiya vanil - Nenjathai kiladhe

has a terrific start

[m_23_bayarea]

ENGEYUM EPPOTHUM had one of the best intros in those days !! :D :D

[kokarako]

Mesmerising veena in "Thenpaandi Thamizhe" from Paasa Paravaigal.
Pleasing flute in "Kuzhaloothum" from Mella Thiranthathu Kathavu.
Sizzling whistle in "Eno Kangal" from Kalvanin Kaadhali.
"Malare Mounama" from Karna and
RaaRaa from chandramukhi too had crowd pulling music.
