IlayaRaja's New Albums 2013-15 - Mahendran film/Thaarai thappattai/Mythri

[sivasub]

My review after a couple of hearings:

1. Ishq-a-phillum: The lyrical ballad that Balki talked about. Full of lyrics - looks like a tribute to the film industry. It has a very hoarse singing by Suraj Jagan and follows one of IR's typical flows where he plays with most of the adjacent notes (experts, please confirm). Overall it gives a very different feel when you hear - sounded more like jazz to me. Definitely a good song.

2. What a star: This one is rendered by Caralisa Monteiro and the only song that has lyrics by Kausar Munir. The drum beat is something that we have heard many times. But there's a small alaap like sound that is so very good. Perhaps this is a song played in the background when Dhanush becomes a superstar in the movie.

3. Piddly: The one we have been hearing for many days now. Superb rendering by Amit and a good song overall.

4. Sannata - Song from the elder Hassan sister rendered nicely. Aasaiya kaathula thootu vittu in a techno form. IR really experimented on this song with the initial chorus and the subsequent guitar support. A very different attempt to be making a cult song in Tamil.

5. Thappad: Lyrics are something that i got very impressed with. A completely different song from whatever attempted by IR so far, rendered nicely by Suraj again. I personally like this a lot and feel it has all ingredients of a blockbuster. Perhaps this song comes in the background when the tension b/w Amit and Dhanush start.

6. Lifebuoy: Starts with lifebuoy ad and then meanders all over. Couldn't really relish this song... perhaps because this is very situational. Does it come when Dhanush is doing ads before becoming a star!!! A 3rd for Suraj Jagan; lucky guy.

The feeling that I was having after listening to this album is that while IR is moved on, all of us have remained where we were so many years back. Hats off to the maestro for having tried something that he may himself have never tried venturing. Oram po, oram po, Ilayaraja vandi varudhu....

Thanks for the youtube link Venkiram.

Songs in youtube link are in mono (bitrate sounds decent though...not sure what bitrate it is). Not sure why they upload songs in mono. I think they can upload samples in good bitrate in stereo instead of mono full song. That would do more justice to clarity and would help in appreciating (especially when the music is layered) the music better.

http://gaana.com/song/sannata

You can listen to the songs in stereo in gaana website. Not sure what is the bitrate though.

On first listening, the album sounds amazing. Lots of surprises. Quick review is that I liked Sha Sha (what a bass shift at 1:59...Godly), piddly, thappad, ishe e phillum and more probably. This man (IR) is unbelievable for the quality and innovativeness he gives in his music even at this age. A real inspiration!

Will write more on this album later...

thanks,

As I listen more and more to Shamitabh, it's actually like a commercial potboiler soundtrack of late 80s/early 90s Raja. Sure it SOUNDS nothing like music of that era but look at the distribution of the songs. There are two songs with a strong emotional pull, Piddly and Ishq. Ishq is the kind of track you could play while the title credits roll. Sha Sha Mi Mi the kind of dance track that used to play while the hero ambushed the villain at a discotheque. :D Sannatta and Thappad are also dance tracks. Say an album like Vetri Vizha was also full of dance tracks with one really memorable and beautifully sung duet (Poongatru Un Per Solla). I don't know what the scenes are actually like but beneath the contemporary sounds, this is essentially Raja playing to a tried and tested formula.

[RR]

Looks like Balki wanted catchy dance tracks from IR. Tunes catch on to our minds, and I am sure they will become commercial hits. IR has much less scope. Sonnata is a nice surprise. Maybe I am still biased towards his 80's stuff. what a flow from start to finish. Didn't see that in other songs. Sruti of course excels in pop-style rendition. Thats my first impression. More after more hearings.

[JamesDap]

Thought Ishq E Phillum had the maximum scope and was very much in the vintage IR vein, synth notwithstanding. Even the melody was developed very much in that pattern.

[mappi]

Its been a decade that I don't visit Discotheques. Meaning, Shamitab is not for me. But certainly a DJ's treat where after clumpsy remixed IR songs are played non-stop, here is an album to rise and drop the ambience in the most right way possible. The sounds are catchy, but still not my kind. This kind of album coming from IR is a surprise to me, an unusal album in whichever way you look at it.

Sannata

I am here to talk only about this song. Apart from the technical details, the motif of this song is what is going to make this song a craze. If you don't understand it, you are not going to give it the needed appreciations. And being in Hindi language, most of us are just listening to the music, the heart beat, but not seeing the organ, the heart that is beating.

Sannata means Silence. That itself would have made you sit errect, a Music about Silence. 'Sannata' as a representative word is quite rarely used in the language, just like anyother language due to evolution and SMS kind of styling, such words get disappeared once and for, applicable to any language. Sannata was made popular by A K Hangal (who plays the role of an imman) in the movie Sholay where he says 'Itna sannata kyun hai bhai' - 'Why are you so silent'.

The song lyrics by Swanand Kirkire goes on to question the involvement of various craftsmen/women in Music, and terminates the Silence is the only pure music (something like that but not actually expressed in the same way). So IR, as I had already mentioned I am awed by this man's Directive qualities. The setup, the sound engineering, colors, structures ... etc., are all secondary. Its the idea that comes first. Listen to the song and note the 'shhhh' following the the song everywhere. Who else could have assosiated a 'Sshhhh' with silence in Music. Secondly the 1st stanza talks about Lyrists and the 2nd about Singers. Note the variations he brings in while addressing the role each one Plays inbetween the stanzas.

Each song is loaded in such a way, proving yet another time that IR is fabulous.

Shamitabh's Sannata - Sound of Silence.

I would say that goes for the album as a whole too. The lyrics add a lot of zest and youthfulness and by themselves make the songs easier to get into. There's a lot of Hinglish...e.g Stereophonic Sannata, Dolby Digital Sannata. I think people may get the idea even without knowing much if any Hindi, kind of like how Kolaveri became a national rage in spite of being in Tamil.

thanks for that link krishnan, the youtube version is horrible.


Venkiram,
When i said "the youtube version is horrible" i was referring to the quality of the audio, it was not meant to put down your effort in finding a place where the songs were available and sharing it in the forum. I do appreciate the fact that you took the time to share it with everyone, thanks.

Mythri songs

Kailash kher does it again. Impressive rendition of 'chandranenu'. 'ithu yaava lokavo' has nice melody & interludes, yet I think it would've been much better with a different singer choice. Maybe it fits the movie. Apart from these I notice names from super singer finalists in other songs - interesting.

venkiraam, I noted your request. Issue is: most of the shamitabh posts in this thread are prior to the first post in the new thread. Moving posts will mess up your thread. So, as a compromise, I have a added a cross-link to the related posts from the new thread.

Touring Talkies (tamil) promo/teaser:

thanks,

[irir123]

Mythri sucks - am sorry - the production standards yet again are below par - NEPV is the reference standard for IR's albums henceforth.

[dochu]

Whatever little that I heard from trailers, press meets etc - music for Touring Talkies is definitely not a high note for IR. Can't believe he composed such things. Usually one can feel his passion and hardwork in his songs, here it was just like a fastfood - bland.

I would be surprised if it ever hits a chart or liked by the public.

On a related note, why didn't he attend the audio release ceremony? If it was intentional, then not a commendable gesture from him.

[Hulkster]

Seriously, what is with our fans' obsession with thalaivar attending this ceremony or not attending ceremony etc? I understand that not many albums of him have been releasing until the past one month but that does not mean we all start focusing on ceremony attendance, function procedures and whether his slippers were facing the entrance correctly.

He has given us alot of music to ponder about this one month so let us avoid all this needless digression.

[dochu]

@Hulkster,
It is not an obsession. These are just a courtesy, respect and whatnot - that held with high regards as a moral conventions. Afterall the audio release function is primarily for the music director's efforts. It doesn't make sense to have a party without the chief guest.

Unless the reason is genuine and unavoidable, it is not very polite to disregard an invitation to be present as chief gues (especially).

Using your same logic - if my post in invalid, why did you counter post? which also has no meaning for a meaning less post. Ain't it?

And what would be the requisites (standards) for best posts in this forum?........ would you mind pulling out examples from yours?

[krish244]

Dochu,

IR is generally not known to attending audio release of movies that he scored. Unless, there is a specific request/need for him to be at the audio release function. This is known to the tamil movie industry and they have accepted it.

From what I heard of the title song of TT, it did not create great first impression. But, it did not sound bad as well. I will wait to listen to the whole album to see what to take.

thanks,

Touring talkies (tamil) review. As per reviews, movie is not good.

"...At the end, as the lights switch on, you realise you’re among the few people left in the theatre. It’s a mark of how bad the film is that even Ilaiyaraaja’s best efforts can’t salvage it."

I concur.

Maybe like you, I have grown up admiring him and very well know the fact that you have stated above.

Would somebody accept if nobody turned up for their parties? Can they let it go considering that is a known fact?

Because somebody is that way, doesn't make things right, get excused and get written into the law of moral conventions which the humans value.

Again, I don't know the reason for his absence, but as you said above, there is a history and hence I posted. I admire too much of him, and sometimes, can't digest these quirks.

I would be really really surprised if the audio takes off, as you posted, the movie tanked. It is like NEPM, santhanam song - no matter how much ever he claims it to be great, audience didn't like it at all. There is nothing wrong in giving out bad ones, when there is a rise, one should expect fall too.

He said, "'The album of 'Gopala Gopala', released by us earlier this year, has been in the top position. We released many of Ilayaraja's albums. He also composed music for 'Rudhramadevi', which will be remembered for many generations. So we bagged the rights offering a huge price..."

"Chaka Chakaan" song has nice beats too (liked the way drums ends each charanam).

thanks,

[Hulkster]

It looks like Chaka Chakaan was composed in the midst of thalaivar's output for Shamitabh. I always love his output for erotic songs but this one has stunned me. The pattern of the song has touched upon the style of Rihanna/Beyonce Knowles song in thalaivar's orchestration. Goodness me!

"....More distracting than any of these flaws is the movie’s music. The songs are horrible, but the incidental music is downright clownish. Any emotional moment is punctuated with garish musical cues so amateurish that it’s hard to believe that this is Balki’s third film...."

It seems IR has agreed to compose two songs for kannada movie GAME. Its on actor Arjun's request and IR likes the movie's concept. Not sure if he will be the sole composer or joint (sandeep chowta)

Oru Melliya Kodu movie launch function. Director, Actor Arjun and IR speak. IR asks the journalists to tell the name of the first thriller film for which he scored the music, i.e. Sigappu Rojakkal.

[teja]

Looks like Raaja is mighty impressed with "Evade Subhramanyam" (Telugu film) and composed one song for the film (Rehash of "Thendral Vanthu"). (As per the anchor during the audio launch). Rest of the film is composed by someone else.
IMO, it looks like they have reused Raaja's song and gave him the credit. Raaja has done a few films for that banner, recent one being 'Om Shanthi". It's highly unlikely that Raaja would do something like this. I guess they might be using Raaja's name to bring some hype. The clip is too short to guess if it's really Raaja or not. Have to listen to preludes and interludes to arrive at a conclusion :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LVszSPLf9o

[krish244]

Teja, it appears (as per Keeravani's comments) that IR's song has been reused:

"...The Ilayaraja song and all the other songs are very good. Radhan did a good job..."

[I don't have the CD yet but from what I hear the keys are fantastic and yes the amazing tune gets an awesome treatment. I like the way the instrumental sounds follow the vocal like something mystical. Gives a rich feeling. I also liked the strings cover. And the female vocal is a charm. Only problem I had was with the echo effect. I felt it could have been included only in the theatrical RR and not in the soundtrack version. Think this echoing would be amazing while watching it with the visuals in a dark room.]

Sundar Varadarajan,
Yes ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே is from டூரிங் டாக்கிஸ். I have the mp3 file. I would send across if you share me your email id in personal message. Also, people in twitter saying this tune of ஆசை முகம் மறந்து போச்சே was already sung by Karthik in one of the Carnatic Concerts. So, not exactly sure whether Raja himself provided the orchestration for that tune or Karthik Raja did the orchestration. Because this song is completely new from what we know of Raja.

3 Songs of Rudhramadevi Released Last night.

[sivasub]

here's the list of all songs.... six in total and two by SPB :)

http://allindiaroundup.com/rudramadevi-songs-jukebox-mp3-listen-online/

[dochu]

Punnami Puvvai - & Auna neevena - flows like honey.
Choosukovo Teesukovo - sorry, outdated to me.

Punnami puvvai also resembles shades of ponnar shankar (?). Maybe I got biased by the movie theme resemblance.

'ROYALLY ENRICHING MUSICAL JOURNEY'- RUDRAMADEVI AUDIO REVIEW
http://www.iqlikmovies.com/news/article/2015/03/22/anuskha-ilayaraja-rudramadevi-movie-audio-review/8046

It looks like Chinmayi got her first opportunity to sing under IR in this movie

[Fliflo]

It looks like Chinmayi got her first opportunity to sing under IR in this movie

Nope...she has sung a few in Sri Ramarajyam including solos...

[thumburu]

Heard 4 songs out of 6 in Rudramadevi, the most awaited Telugu album for me after "Sri Rama Rajyam".
Found 3 of these to my liking. My list in that order :
1. Antahpuram lo - Heaved a sigh of relief when 2 other youthful female voices made up for Sadhana. Loved the song's laid-back drawl and the coy vocal parts. A very "girly" song which may not find men's favour. So what? I am lapping it like I did for "malar vililE" - 'Ponnar Sankar'.
2. Punnami puvvai - Goes to show how mastery in the art of vocals can pole vault the song and its listener well above seventh heaven. Shreya, all the way.
3. Auna neevena - Wonderful, breezy melody with apt orchestral backing. But heavily let down by Sadhana's ageing vocals. How I wish Raja paid Shreya's price for this one too!!

Choosukovo theesukovo - outright rejected.

[SVN]

I found Chitra's rauncy rendition of Thoosukovo theesukovo to be quite good. She seems to be enjoying singing 'with attitude' on a lower octave.

[thumburu]

yes, Chitra seems to be letting down her hair and enjoying the fun. But Raja disappoints me with a damp squib tune

[venkkiram]

கங்கு கொஞ்சம் கூட அணையாமல் மென்மேலும் படைப்புத் திறனில் பொலிவடைந்துகொண்டிருக்கும் ராஜாவின் ருத்ரமாதேவி திரையிசைப் பாடல்களைத்தான் தற்போதைய நாட்களில் அதிகமாக கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். முக்கியமான கீழுள்ள மூன்றுப் பாடல்கள் இனிவரும் வாழ்க்கை முழுதும் நம் கூடவே பயணிக்கும் ஜீவிதம் பெற்றவை.

1) புன்னமி பூவ்வை - சுகாந்தமான காற்று பூக்களைச் தொட்டுச் செல்வதுபோல மெலடி மற்றும் பின்னணி. அற்புதமான ஆரம்ப இசை. ஸ்ரேயா கோஷல் குரலில் பல்லவி கேட்பதற்கு தேவாமிருதமாக இனிக்கிறது. தாய்மொழி வேறொன்றாக இருந்தாலும் ஸ்ரேயா தென்னிந்திய மொழிகளை கையாள்வது பெரியதொரு சாதனை. முதல் இடையிசையில் "சூவே சுபலாலியம்மா" எனத் தொடங்கும் கோரஸ். எப்படி ராஜாவுக்கு மட்டும் கோரஸ் உருவாக்குவதில் ஒவ்வொருமுறையும் சிகரம் தொடுகிறார் என்பது வியப்பாக இருக்கு. பாடல் முழுதுமே தந்திக்கருவி இசைகளை கோர்த்தே நெய்திருப்பது ராஜாவுக்கே உரிய முத்திரை.

2) ஔனா நீவேனா - ரொம்ப வருடங்கள் ஆகிவிட்டது. ஹரிஹரனும் சாதனாவும் சேர்ந்து பாடுவதைக் கேட்டு. இந்தப் பாடலும் சரி, முதலில் குறிப்பிட்ட புன்னமி பூவ்வை பாடலும் சரி.. ராஜா பல்லவியை கட்டமைத்த விதம் எனக்கு ரொம்ப பிடித்திருந்தது. எல்லாரும் இப்படித்தான் ஒரு பல்லவி போகும் என நினைத்திருக்கும் பாதையை விட்டு தனியே செல்வதுதான் தான் விரும்புவது என ராஜாவே ஒரு பேட்டியில் குறிப்பிட்டு இருந்தார். பல்லவியாக இருக்கட்டும், சரணமாக இருக்கட்டும்.. ஒவ்வொருமுறையும் ஔனா நீவேனா என்ற இடத்தை மீண்டும் தொடும் விதமே அழகு. சரணத்தில் உச்ச்சச்தாயில் சாதனா கஷ்டப்பட, ரொம்ப நிதானமாக ஹரிஹரன் அதையெல்லாம் கடந்து செல்வதைப் பார்க்கமுடிகிறது. பின்னணி இசைக்கு வழக்கம் போல பாடம் எடுத்திருக்கிறார் என்றே சொல்லலாம். தந்திக் கருவிகள் மலைமுகடுகளில் நின்றுகொண்டிருக்கும் நம்மை தொடர்ச்சியான மேகக்கூட்டங்கள் தழுவிச் செல்வதுபோல உணரலாம். இரண்டு பாடல்களிலும் தபேலாவின் தாளக்கட்டு தாலாட்டுகிறது.

3) அந்த்டபுறம்லோ - இது கொஞ்சம் துள்ளல் நிறைந்தது முதல் இரண்டு பாடல்களை ஒப்பிடும்போது.. திரைப்படத்தில் தோழிகள் சேர்ந்து பாடுவதுபோல இருக்கலாம். சித்ரா, சாதனா, சின்மயி மூவரும் வரிகளை பகிர்ந்து பகிர்ந்து தொடர்ச்சியாக பாடியிருக்கிறார்கள். ஒன்றுக்கு மேற்பட்ட பாடகர்கள் பாடும்போது, மெட்டில் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் இடம் ஒதுக்குவது ராஜாவுக்கு கைவந்தக் கலை. அதை இன்னொருமுறை இப்பாடலின் மூலம் உணரலாம்.

பின்னணி இசையருவிப் பாய்ச்சலில் ராஜாவிடமிருந்து தொடர்ந்து வரும் படைப்புகளில் ருத்ரமாதேவி அதற்கென ஒரு இடத்தைப் பிடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

Man you guys are really dull! A new album is here!

When i first heard of this album, i was fearing that it was going to be another one where thalaivar just glances through and just puts in the standard earthy and rustic fare. But besides one song, most of the songs are quite strong in their orchestration and instrumentation and we have atleast 3 fresh tunes. Chinna paya vayasu and manikkuyilu satham have a great string ensemble with western classical touches all round but my personal favourite is muthu muthu which is a beautiful blend of qawwali, folk and villupattu. Listen as soon as possible guys :D

[irir123]

Hulkster - its dull coz the album is not released properly - thanks for the review - will give it a listen

[Hulkster]

That's true. His small budget movies typically have this issue. I could not find touring talkies until i came across spotify and apple store. Sadly he does not take control of how his albums are sold and released into the market, so we just have to deal with what we can get.

[apewenodurug]

Hulkster - "Chinna Paya" udanae ilukkudhu - instant favorite for me. Just started listening, beautiful strings…..

People talk so much about his character yet they fail to realize the amount of help he has given to so many people in the film industry. If he had actually taken money from all the films he composed for free, he can easily finance Marudhanayagam with money to spare for Endhiran 2.

An animation film in Sanskrit sounds very interesting given the way the language sounds. But it might be a good hit with people who have followed Japanese animation films as the Japanese languages used in anime has some similarities with Sanskrit. Is this the first "Open-source" film where there are various contributors to the film making?

சுதாகர்ஜி, நீங்கள் மட்டுமல்ல,கொலை வெறியோடு எனக்கு இரண்டு நண்பர்கள் கூட செய்திகள் அனுப்பி இருக்கிறார்கள். :

நான் ராஜா சாரை கஞ்சன் என்று சொல்லவில்லை. சமீபகாலமாய் ராயல்டி, அவர் பெயர் பயன்படுத்துவது போன்ற விஷயங்களில் அவரை பற்றி நிறைய தவறான செய்திகள் வருகின்றன. அவருடன் இருப்பவர்களே அவரை பற்றி தவறான அபிப்ராயங்களுடன் தான் இருக்கிறார்கள், கங்கை அமரன் உட்பட.

ஆனால், இங்கு, இந்த மையத்தில் அவரை பற்றி வருகின்ற நல்ல செய்திகள் சேர வேண்டியவர்களுக்கு சேருவதில்லை என்பது தான் என் கருத்து.

கிருஷ்244 புண்ணியகோட்டி படுத்துக்கு இலவசமாக இசை அமைத்து தர ராஜா சார் ஒப்புக்கொண்ட விஷயத்தை சொல்லி இருந்தார், அதை அமோதித்து தேவையானவர்களுக்கு தேவைப்படும்போது, பாத்திரம் அறிந்து, செய்ய வேண்டியதை சரியாய் செய்கிறார் என்று சொல்லி இருந்தேன்.

கார்த்திக்ராஜா பற்றிய என் கருத்தில் மாற்றமில்லை...(அது இந்த திரிக்கு சம்மந்தமில்லாத விஷயமும் கூட)

Anyone heard kida poosari magudi songs? no reviews yet.. please share your views if you heard the songs already..

I bought the songs from iTune and have been hooked on to the songs. The pick of the album is "Chinna Vayasu Pillai" - a duet. Lovely tune and mesmerizing.sung by Surmugi and a newcomer. My next favorite is "Manikuyilu Satham" sung Ilaiyaraja. Ilaiyaraja's voice sound strained when he starts with the pallavi but sounds great in the rest of the song. Its a brilliant song. ""Oru Kalathile" is a number sung by Sarath - nice song. SBP would have been a better fit for this song. "Nee Aatukutti" is a pleasant song sung by Rita. "Muthu Muthu" is an OK song. Overall very enjoyable album.

[rajaramsgi]

சின்ன பய மனசு சும்மா இருக்குதில்லை என்னை படுத்துதடியோ - இதை தாண்டி இன்னும் என்னால் வெளியில் வந்து மற்ற பாடல்களை கேட்க முடியவில்லை. ஆரம்பமே ஜோர். பாடல் முழுவதும் நிறைய வாத்தியங்கள். இந்த பாடல் நம் அனைவரையும் வசியம் பண்ணும். கௌரி மனோகரி ராகமாம்.

சரியான முறையில் மார்கெட்டிங் செய்தால் இந்த பாடல் 2015ன் ஹாட்ரிக் ஆகலாம். ராயல்டி பிரச்சனையில் fm மற்றும் சேனல்களில் போடுவார்களா?

ஒவ்வொரு பாடலிலும் ஒரு கதை சொல்ல வேண்டும், முன்னுரை, இடைவேளை, கிளைமாக்ஸ் என்று எல்லாவற்றையும் ஒரு பாடலில், 5 நிமிடத்தில் சொல்லியாக வேண்டும், அதற்குள் ஏதாவது புதிதாக செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று ஒரு முறை சொன்னார். - அதெல்லாம் இந்த பாடலில் உண்டு.

72 வயதிலும் தடம் புரளாமல், காலத்தை அனுசரித்து ராஜா சார் போய் கொண்டே இருப்பது ஆச்சர்யம். சிங்கம் சிங்கம் தாங்க, சிலிர்தெலுந்து நிக்குது...

[rajaramsgi]

Will I be branded as anti-christ if I say that Raja sir should refrain from singing lovely duets like manikuyilu satham (KPM) or Vaanam mella (NEPV)? These songs could have been enriched with voices like Sriram Parthasarathi in my personal opinion.

நல்ல வேலை, சின்ன பய மனசு பாடலையும் அவரே பாடி வைக்கவில்லை. ஆனால் அதே பாடலை, கரூர் ராஜராஜன் போர்வாள் ஊசிமணி பாசிமணி பாடலை மெட்டமைத்தது போல், சின்ன பய மனசு என்று தத்தகாரம் போட்டு ராஜா சார் ஹார்மோனியத்தில் தாளம் போட்டபடி, மெட்டை மெருகேற்றுவதாக நினைக்க நினைக்க உள்ளம் குதூகலிப்பதை தடுக்க முடியவில்லை.

I have to disagree on the point of IR singing. While the start of the song shows the strain in his voice, I don't think anyone else can bring the emotion he brings in the charanam of the song. I am a big fan of his rustic voice.

Update on "Love and Love Only" english movie by IR. It seems the movie premiered in Silicon Valley and to be released sometime this November. IR chose Rachael Leahcar as the singer for the movie. Not sure how many songs are there. Very curious to know what type of songs and orchestration IR has employed this time. Rachael Leahcar is a good talent (she is visually challenged) and a very nice voice. She was part of finalists of a singing reality show in Australia.

Pretty decent album with few nice melodies. Lots of new sounds and patterns. That's my short take as of now.

thanks,

I also felt that the songs were good. I liked Edhuru Choosthunna , Tholi paruvam ,Maatallo cheppaleni and Kanulu Kalanu. Really love Kanulu Kalanu , have been listening to it all day. Tholi paruvam sounds a bit like Jagada Jagada ( Geethanjali) to me , i liked the saranams better with the accompanying (?)violins .

[thumburu]

My take on "Abbayitho Ammayi" :
Thank you for sharing the link to listen to IR newbie "Abbayitho Ammayi".
My Top 3 pick from "Abbayitho Ammayi" goes as
"okkasaari", "kannulu" and "maatellO".
In "okkasaari", when the singers seem to have a whale of a time enjoying their role , I have to admit that it gets highly infectious and I can vouch for that foot stomping rhythm to get even the laziest couch potato to move his body. The entire song,not just the second interlude is age defying.
"kannulu kalanu" - oozes "honey" all over and it has all making of that perfect hit which the maverick used to relentlessly manufacture in the 80's. It is really hard not to like this one. Nice rendition too.
MatellO is that apt bed time, uncluttered stream of milk and nectar . May be in the regular Mohanam scale of Raja , but in times where pseudo melodies masquerade as
genuines, this one is pristine.
Songs that could be a bit more better : "tholi paruvam" - singers need to sing with more verve.The synth beats lack energy and the intermediate music piece that is played between 2 lines in the pallavi , ala "muthirai ippOdhu kuthidu thappAdhu" song sounds pretty dull when compared to the organic sounds used in the latter song. But all these little nit-picks vanish during the second interlude that strike me as a bolt out of the blues. Only Raja could conceive such a beautiful surprise.
Okkasaari is a rap after all and Blaze and Co did have a blast. But a fast paced melody like "saradale" demands vocals with melodious voices like shreya, Shweta Mohan , Saindavi. Somehow felt the flattened out western pop voices failed to bring out some intricacies.
I completely agree with Vibavari's voice sounding monotonous, lifeless in the "edhukku choodunnu" song, that could have been another "kajurAho kanavilE" , also in KeeravAni with a singer like Shreya or Shweta. hm...
- mythila

Great Album
Hooked on to it since morning.
Going to get original CD from India by courier.
God!
Music God
IR
Incomparable, Iniyilla one and only composer living amidst us.
I am blessed again today. Cannot ask for more .

Paruruvaaya - I get to remember prakashraj doing saashtaagam getting emotional in IR studio as mentioned by him. Truely this song evokes multiple emotions needless to say each and every cell gets its share and rejuvenation.

Truely we can call this mindblowing experience.

Long live our music God.

[suivipa]

Initially we heard that the album has 12 numbers as reported , may be we have several bits coming in , filling in to take the story telling and narration forward??
I wish the remaining gems find its way in the BGS or at appropriate montages thru out the film.

[Hulkster]

Does anyone notice that the aattakkari maman ponnu song is very unconventional in the design and orchestration? Its like the song itself is "drunk", where despite the regular interludes and preludes, the stanzas are purposely broken instead of being free flowing. Its like broadway theater feel with a bit of playfulness.


I am destroyed by the thaarai thapattai theme. The interplay with different percussions is one thing but once those nadhaswarams come in and lay onto you, it becomes a symphony of anger. Sasikumar does not need to even emote when the angry moments come, just this theme is enough to make him look like a angry destroyer.

If musicians of the future and the present want to learn about innovation, the thaarai thappattai theme should become a thesis. He has basically used nadhaswaram, voice accompaniments (at the end) and percussions in a way you will never imagine.

Without Lettering, Magnificent IR

http://www.mayyam.com/talk/attachment.php?attachmentid=4795&d=1451130757

[dochu]

Just listened only once. Couldn't resist to post.
My top rated ones
Theme music - combination of symphony like, traditional (tamil/Kerala style) etc. Just mind blowing!!!

Paruruvaaya and Attakari song catches one right away.

Rest of songs needs more listenings.
Sharreth's idarinum song - he sounds like Balamuralikrishna to me.


For the time being - People who are in Oscar awards team, including one of our Indian born musician - hope you all get to hear it. This is the music from a man who has crossed more than 1000 films and still stronger and exceptional than anyone on earth!!!!

[Hulkster]

Can we please stop bringing in ARR and Oscar at every single album launch? Let's just appreciate the music for what it is.

[Hulkster]

Album seems to look at sins and suffering even more than Naan kadavul. Not sure if my mind can tolerate another dose of heavy melancholy like that. :shaking:

[JamesDap]

My thoughts exactly. I don't blame IR for doing what was required of him by Bala but I don't think I can stomach more heavy melancholy. It's a pity that increasingly TFM only has scope for these kind of scores from IR (as compared to the refreshing lightness of Abbhaiyitho...).

[suivipa]

Dochu/Hulkster/CK
when I first heard the Paaruruvaayo song, it gave me goose bumps and not to mention the melancholic connection it brings alongside Naan Kadavul (Kannil Paarvai Pol). with Kannil paarvai song the rendition was stunning and the way the music would complement the singer and take it to a crescendo during second charanam and its interludes nothing short of master piece. who else but IR can conceive such orchestration for s simple melancholic tune and for a blind person singing with utmost emotions and dissertion.

coming back to Paaruravaayo , again the context may be similar because the connection and story telling format is for a bala film. Again it gives me a Eerie feeling everytime (about 7-8 times) I have listed to from yesterday.

Question that arises each time how come this man at 73 years feel , get into the skin of the character time and again and deliver such a master piece.
Mind blowing with the way he orchestrates and executes seamlessly. Did you see a newbie sitting on the mixing console when the master was in full flow conducting along side and Bala chipping in briefly with some utterances while recording was in progress?

so organically things are being done and for the 1000th time !!!!

How on earth he can do it again and again.

I imagine and desperately want Kamal to get back to IR for another round of composing session and extract another master piece like Hey ram or Virumaandi kinda album . we can see the man in full throttle action giving his best!!!

Hmmmm.... Kadavule,!!! let this materiaise .....

[suivipa]

while browsing those Youtube videos, once again I revisited the July dated Thanthi TV , Tanjavur location shooting spot and IR visit.
How much silly can the media persons get for the Nth time and instigate and irritate the Music god.

One guy asks questions like .....
Sir, Neega recenta Hindila "Shamitabh: maadri padangallukum Isai amaikkireenga and Ippo Balavoda padamana Tharai Thappattai madiriyana Gramiya padangallukkum ore nerathile work panringo??? Eppadi ungalala sathiyamaagudu?

If I was sitting there beside Bala or another assistant in the crowd, I would come right underway and smack this media guy?

How much more stupid can these questions get and at the way he puts his question?

For IR stature he got annoyed for sure and took on to answer it by quoting the best example possible and for the Nth time that I have seen.

Seriously he should refrain from Media from now on and give it back to these dumb asses until they realize their mistake and repent???

Seriously .......

All questions are so flat , standard , Immature , some times ridiculing like the one asked during Beep song controversy last week.

Media and scribes of today are worst , do not know what they are supposed to learn and perform in the field ?

I am saying this to all the media from NI, Karnataka, AP and TN mostly. Kerala the Interviewing process and media men do not exaggerate or create Hype for every silly things going on each day. people there are knowledgeable to a large extent and refrain from mediocre and cheap publicity.

Tamil nadu strives on Hype, Tension and Padattamana suzhnilai each day. Media is responsible for this situation and starts at dawn each day.

[mappi]

Bala movies have always talked about the extremes of birth, life & death. Its his way of showing reality through motion picture.

Sethu/Nanda ends with death.
Avan Ivan closes with a death rally.
Pitha Magan opens with a brith in a graveyard.
Naan kadavul starts with a search in Kasi amoung cremating & floating bodies.
Paradesi is almost a walk on rope between birth & death, a life left hanging somewhere inbetween.

So Thaarai Thappatai is not going to be any different. The amazement is that IR supporting Bala with different shades to a common idea. Even YSR in 'Oru Aiyram Yennai' from Nandha purely merged with his father.

Indha Pongal Kari Kuruma thaan (LoL). IR bgm-ku waiting. GVP in Paradesi was good, but the visuals were eating out his score. Bala needs IR, even IR's Silience is Music.

[JamesDap]

I think the tone has become more serious with Naan Kadavul and if the music is any indication, Thaarai Thappatai will follow suit. Sethu had the love track to begin with which gave IR more scope to show different shades of emotion. Pithamagan was even more mainstream and produced the lovely Elangathu. With Naan Kadavul, it's become all melancholy. I will have to wait sometime to slowly digest this new monster.

[venkkiram]

ஊர்கள் கூடும் திருநாளை
தொடங்கிவைக்கும் என் கூட்டம்
முடிந்தால் ஊரோரம் ஒதுங்கி வாழவேண்டும்

இசைதெய்வம் கலைவாணி
எனக்கருளும் போதும்
ஊர்தெய்வம் பேசாது சாட்சிபோல பார்க்கும்

நிறைந்த எந்தன் நெஞ்சம்
திறந்திருக்கும் வானம்
குறைகள் தன்னைத் தள்ளி
உண்மை கொண்டு வாழும்

எனக்கென்று எது உண்டு
இங்கு இந்த மண்ணில்
எந்த எதிர்பார்ப்பும் இல்லை
வேறு என்ன வேண்டும்

இசையிலும் எழுத்திலும் இளையராஜா ஆடிய தாண்டவம்தான் தாரைதப்பட்டை

[venkkiram]

எங்கேயும் பிசிறாத, தயங்கி நிற்காத தெளிவான இசை ஓட்டம் ராஜாவின் முத்திரை. #தாரைதப்பட்டை யின் 'நாயகன் அறிமுக தீம் இசைப்பாடல்' ஒரு சோறுபதம்.

இந்த தீம் இசையும் பல்லவி, சரணம் என அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள மற்ற திரையிசைப் பாடல்களைப் போல ஒன்றுதான். குரலுக்கு பதிலாக துளைக்கருவி. அம்புடுதேன்!

[dochu]

Hulkster,
I am sorry, you are feeling the other way. I had to bring that up because, I felt there is nothing wrong in expressing right and wrong. It is how IR expressed his views against the reporter who asked an irrelevant question.

My point was that, IR's mastery isn't being noticed and I wish Oscar team notices that such great music is coming from a man who has surpassed the number of films even for a western composer.

I am not sure on what occasion should such things be brought up.

[dochu]

Tharai thappatai....

Listened more (more than 20 times)
As a normal song to listen to, I would pick 'aatakari and vanthana'. Idarinum and parurvaaya is heavy - not for normal listening. Aarambum...sadly very bland and so is hero intro tune.

Theme music stands out the most and next aattakari.

I listened in Bose noise canceling headphones too, the theme music could have been better recorded. So many sounds, at some points, all merges and can't even make out. I wish the kerala and tamil style drums etc were played in different channels and rest kept separate.

[Hulkster]

No problem Dochu! Bringing out a way to make IR be noticed is fine, just that it does not have to involve us calling out ARR or any other composer. Unfortunately, Oscar awards are not the correct or best award for music. Grammy should be the actual one but it has lost its value over the years.

Somehow IR does not seem interested in being noticed on the international stage. I have said before that he is like a mad scientist who prefers to explore more and more of music with his ideas while letting people like us spread the wonder of his output.

Agree about the theme music sound recording, especially towards the end. There is a clap like sound right at the end which i can't make out whether it is really a clap sound or not.

[Hulkster]

Probably the most stunning part of the theme music is the last part. The human chorus replacing the nadhaswaram to result in a very omnious and mysterious sound alongside the raw anger of the percussions catches me off guard all the time. I wonder whether tharai thappattai has some horror in the way sasikumar seeks revenge on all the evildoers.

[mappi]

Clue : The way the lead actress presents herself in the teaser !

Dochu : Did you try adjusting a bit with the Bass frequency ? Or play it on an audio system by plugging your laptop as input and use the Bose Headphones as the output from the audio system. I did not capt the irregularities, even before hearing it bassy.

Adjusted the Bass as I thought the percussion needed more thumping, and when the Odukai was brought in I was blown.

Hulkster : Towards the end, I could get only the Bell sounds. Did not catch any clap. When the horns are blown, the chorus seems to chant ARO ARO ARO ... HA. Then I hear distant bell sound like a 'Salangai Oli', all the while the Pee Pee going out of sink.

A terrific composition. Thavil & crash cymbals alongside with Nadaswaram & Chenda accompanied by Oodukai & Chorus with a fabulous peak Shankha, it was like a fantastic jugalbandi experience.

Those crash cymbals are IR's favourite background sound effect for percussion-based angry compositions. He used it in Om Sivoham in Naan Kadavul, Adada in Pithamagan and Thondru Thottu Indru Varai in Avatharam

If anybody needed to know IR's style, the theme music is the most obvious composition. He basically replaced contemporary western classical instruments for a symphony, with those used in tamil folk. That is to say that for his compositions, all instruments are part of one family; they have no specific genre and are just accompaniments to the situation portrayed by the composition. This is probably the simplest way of saying that all genres and instrument point only to the wind which forms the music.

[dochu]

Hulkster,
There are numerous noble people who are not in the limelight at all, but have done great things. Although it is sad that they did not get the recognition, as you said they may prefer to 'not to have it' too.

It is my personal aggravation that such great composer (who is beyond others) isn't recognized yet while others are.

I was playing the it my sony mp3 player and also tried home theater system. I am not an audiophile or know more about it, but thought IR would separate into channels (?) like L,R, center etc. so that distinct sounds can be hear in those channels alone. It all sounded in the same 'center'. Hence couldn't isolate it.
Hope I was able to explain it. (basically, sometimes, you hear one particular instrument in right ear alone, like that....)

[JamesDap]

By no means does IR lack recognition. If that appears to be the case currently, it is only because he is a yesteryear composer operating in a flavour-of-the-season game (which is what film music is). I seem to remember in some of the Rajkiran films from the 90s there would be tall claims about IR's mastery right at the start of the opening credits. Oscars aren't the only kind of recognition and furthermore recognition cannot be a competitive sport where we measure what recognition has accrued to IR vis a vis ARR. IR was king of Tamil film music throughout the 80s and up to early 90s and has won National Award twice. What more recognition is required? Consider that his chief influence in Western music, J S Bach, wasn't even considered a great composer in his lifetime. Many of the great artists of earlier centuries died bereft of either recognition or money. Bram Stoker died in penury for instance and how much money Hollywood has made by reprising his classic work 'Dracula'. Compared to such examples, we should be grateful that IR has in fact been showered with adulation and respect possibly beyond his wildest dreams in his lifetime.

[dochu]

Ck,
very well said. I agree.
Probably, like many other fans of IR, I felt the pinch when others who are not on par with IR seems to boast and get appreciated.

But deep in our hearts, we know the truth. Guess, that's more than enough appreciation for IR.

Track 1- * "Hero" intro theme'naalum adhula "music" dhaan hero...#Thaarai Thappattai..This Hero Intro Theme is in Sindhu Bhairavi | S R2 G2 M1 G2 P D1 N2 S | N2 D1 P M1 G2 R1 S N2 S...Raja has explored all dimensions of Sindhu Bhairavi in the past -- from the deep melancholy of Mani Osai Kettu Ezhundhu (Payanangal Mudivadhillai) to erotic Sivarathiri Thookam Yedhu (Micheal Madhana Kama Rajan) ....His Ram Ram (in Hey Ram) was a more militant sounding Sindhu Bhairavi...Here in this theme, the sindhu bhairavi evokes devotion, is artistic, powerful and the Nadhaswaram stands tall with its all glory...Another such similar use of devotion and emotionally intense Sindhu Bhairavi is found in Amman Kovil Kumbham Inge (Aranmanai Kili).....

Track 2 - Vathana Vathana - Priyadarshini (along with Kavitha Gopi) has tried a Kovai Kamala genre here - What an attitude in the singing man !! Just love this song because it celebrates the joyous village festival music in a grand way ! It is fun filled track but maintains its king royale knd of stature ! கிராமத்தில் கூத்து பாடல்கள் கேட்டவர்கள் இந்த பாடலின் அழகை இன்னும் ஆழமாய் உணர்வார்கள் :-)

Track 3- பாருரு வாய பிறப்பறவேண்டும் பத்திமை யும்பெற வேண்டும். Manickavasagar's Ennappadhigam.....Sathya Prakash, Surmukhi have sung like meditation...this tune is like that...it is not music...it is meditation....this is just divine tune in Mayamalawagowlai ....S R1 G3 M1 P D1 N3 S | S N3 D1 P M1 G3 R1 S

பாருரு வாய பிறப்பறவேண்டும் பத்திமை யும்பெற வேண்டும்
சீருரு வாய சிவபெரு மானே செங் கமல மலர்போல்
ஆருரு வாயஎன் னார முதேஉன் அடியவர் தொகை நடுவே
ஓருருவாய நின் திருவருள் காட்டி என்னையும் உய்யக்கொண் டருளே

பத்தில னேனும் பணிந்தில னேனும்உன் உயர்ந்தபைங் கழல் காணப்
பித்தில னேனும் பிதற்றில னேனும் பிறப்பறுப்பாய எம்பெருமானே
முத்தனை யானே மணியனை யானே முதல்வ னேமுறை யோஎன்று
எத்தனை யானும் யான்தொடர்ந் துன்னை இனிப்பிரிந் தாற்றேனே.

(lyrics source - http://www.shaivam.org/tamil/thirumurai/thivacha_044.htm)

Track 4 - Idarinum - Powerful lyrics from Raja and effortless singing as usual by Sharreth ! This is set in raga subhapantuvarali, the scale that is claimed to make you cry....May be thats why the song reminds one of Thedinen Deva Deva of Sri Ragavendra...This tune will live long long years to come. Timeless classic !! Subhapanthuvarali is | S R1 G2 M2 P D1 N3 S | S N3 D1 P M2 G2 R1 S - the raga creates gloomy effect ! - Another great number in Subhapanthuvarali in the devotional genre is Aazha Kadalil - Amma Paamaalai

Track 5 - Aattakkari Maman Ponnu - M.M.Manasi has done a fabulous job, her voice works beautifully for this magical tune (though some words slip out without clear diction, thats ok!)...Just like the Hero Intro Theme, this song is also set in Sindhu Bhairavi | S R2 G2 M1 G2 P D1 N2 S | N2 D1 P M1 G2 R1 S N2 S...But the R1 is dominant almost 100% of the melody, with no showing of R2...The charanams are just out of the world !!

Track 6 - * Thaarai Thappattai Theme - இது climax மியூசிக் ...Like many have said in many forums already -- this is SYMPHONY in TAMIL Folk base.....சும்மாவே பாலா மிரட்டுவாரு ...இதுல ராசா வேற ருத்ர தாண்டவம் !! நாடி நரம்பு ரத்தம் சதை எல்லாம் இசை ஊறின ஒருத்தரால தான் இது முடியும் ...:-) கலி யுகம் அழியும் போது இந்த bgm use பண்ணலாம்...:-) சின்ன பசங்களா ....கொஞ்சம் தூரமா ஓரமா போய் விளையாடுங்க ....எங்கள் இசையாகிய ஈசன் கொஞ்சம் கோபமா இருக்கார் !!
