In Avadharam,
1.Thendral vandhu theendum podhu
2.Chandhiranum sooriyanum
In Jhony,
all the songs are gems
But my favourite for this topic is
"En vanilae orae vennila "
yea I remember "poovoma oorkolam" (dont have that song). my friends chithappa is the flutist in IR troupe (Napolean). He always says his flute bit in this song is among his favourites. to be counted as fav among countless gems, this must be really special. IMO, IR's flute peices are way too good, be it in prelude or interlude :D .Quote:

A couple of rare yet sweet preludes, both from `ArAdhanai', a very less known Suman movie...
`iLam pani thuLi vizhum nEram' - listen to the bass guitar - lead guitar combo...mesmerising! The first interlude of this song is a kind of WCM lesson...with accelearting strings leading to a grand piano culmination! Throughout the song there's grand bass guitar as well as other strings' threads...
`oru kungumachchengamalam' - Unusually short yet very sweet flute prelude.
ivaiyellAm bass-guitar'in poRkAlaththil vandha pAdalgal allavA? inimaikkuppanjamillai!
Another rare prelude, for the song `vAnengum thanga viNmeengaL vizhi imai mooda' in moondRAm piRai...very sweet but not paid attention to by many...I think the movie itself opens to this prelude on screen (I'm not sure, though...I remember the scene a kind of sooryOdhayam, sea shore, Sridevi walking etc)...
The music reflects the mood on screen, in fact brings the whole environ to your mind by the slow tempo of the piano - starting sounds, followed by accompaniment of the flute. Then begins the bass guitar, synth, Janaki group in full flow, then a chorus with more powerful bass guitar sounds leading to a fantastic climax of trumpets blowing to start the song!
Also listen to the first interlude of this song, which I consider to be among the top ones from Raja...
Comparisons are inevitable...a quick trip to the bass guitar scores `vAnil oru dheepAvaLi' brings nostalgic memories and the lack of them in some of the recent Raja hits...I was listening to the sweet `pattu cholli, pAdachcholli' from azhagi the other day...though having unique rhythm arrangements very different from the monotonous arrangements of current MD's, this song could've reached greater heights with some non-keyboard bass guitar scores, IMHO...
Best preludes by IR,
Satriyan - Maalayil Yaaro Manothodu pesa...
Unnai Vazhthi Padukirein - Kalai Kuyilkaley...
