You can hear the songs from Enakkul Oruvan, Raakkayil Koyil, and Thozhar Pandiyan at smashits.com. The Azhagiya Kanne song was featured as an SOTD at the TFMpage. Look for it in the SOTD archives. The Chinna Maappillai song hear it at tamilsongs.net. You can hear the Kannukkul Nilavu song pretty much anywhere they host Tamil film music. Does this answer your question?
Now, I'm wondering, how did you hear the song 'Ellaarukkum' that you say is Hindolam-based? I've looked for it at tamilsongs.net and have not found it. :-(( How about the Sevvanthi song, the one you say is Kalyani? How did you hear it? The Nyaayam song that you say is Vakhulabharanam?

BTW, you might have noticed my number has changed. That's because I am now staying at the University of New Paltz, New York. Just so you guys know.

I bought all the PROJECT GEM CDs from wherein i got to here all these hidden treasures. Its worth every damn single penny that you r going to pay, i will tell you...
My gosh...You would die of awe when u get to hear many songs through PROJECT GEM CDs, which sound so unbelievable that IR had scored such music long long time ago, when u and me were babies :-)

and have u heard the songs from Ninaikka therindha maname (available also in PROJECT GEM collection)...There is a vintage IR song "ilamai radhathil iyarkai sugathil ilangiliye"...Man, what a number. :-)

Vel, I have indeed heard 'Ilamai Raadhathil.' Super song to say the least. The other 3 songs in NTM I have on a single CD entitled "THE BEST OF YESUDAS", wherein all the songs are MDed by IR. On that CD there is also a fabulous duet with KS Chitra 'Rettai Kiligal' in 'Ore Oru Graamathile', which is based on Sudhasaveri raagam, and is sadly unavailable over the net. :-(

Vel, if you're asking for what I think you are, then here it is. Rettai Kiligal song goes like this (I'm only doing the pallavi now.)

!!!! Purv...
Remember my querry on sree ragam usage by IR?
I think "Solam vedhaikiyile" from 16 vayadhililae is a very versatile use of sree raagam in folkish mould...

Guys like Vel, come out of your small IR circle and look at the vast Carnatic usage by geniuses like GR, KVM, MSV. No wonder knowlegeables like IsaiRasigai, Sindhuja, MS , vijay keep away from this thread which is just proIR centric.IR has just used few raagas and he has not ventured into many Ganaraagas like Ataana, Kamboji, Bhairavi Thodi and many many which MSV and others, Malayalam MDs have done with amazing authenticity. His carnatic usage has been very shallow , just rotating around 2 or 3 ragas like MMG , Keeravani and doesn't warrant much discussion.No freshness in his tunes after 90's
