Oh gosh! Ivalo damage agi pOcha? Manchikangaba :(
V_Sji, A_E and others… I’m very little ‘worried’ about the way this album is gonna shape up. Not for a moment have I doubted if Raaja will live up to GVM’s musical reputation. The very thought is a farce! Come on, what are we talking… 5-6 albums v/s Raaja’s musical output? I’d have to be lobotomized to think of something as crazy as that, forget even comparing the two! :evil:
Had I been keeping GVM at a higher pedestal and doubting Raaja, I’d have requested songs like other contemporary composers from him… asking him to do ennamo edho/po nee po/iragai pOle and the likes. This is NOT what I’m hinting at. Like I said before, as a fan, I have some wishes… what I’d love to get from him… because I know only he’s capable of something as magical as that. Yes, I’m biased towards the real/acoustic style and not a big fan of synth, but that isn’t the base of my aadhangam. I’m simply (maybe foolishly) attempting to find ways of getting him more inspired. Yes, he’s been giving us some lovely music every year, be it Ponnar Shankar or SV or Dhoni and many others. Listening to his music day-in/day-out has made me greedy and I can’t help but crave for more. Ganja adikkaravan maadhiri aaitten.
The musical ideas in the man are stunning, but time is running out… when else can we expect to see these ideas take shape if not for now? Whether he connects with this generation or not, I care a damn. Give the man his space, the freedom to fully execute his thoughts, the funding he’s proposing and keep him musically inspired in whichever way possible. Idhu dhaan enakku vEnum. I rest my case. :neutral:
