Vidyasagar unleashes his trademark soulful melodies again and the result is highly satisfying. Mandhira Punnagai music review http://bit.ly/8XJPu0

:P Im a regular reader of ur reviews, I read ur tamil movie/song reviews on milliblog.

certainly looking forward to listening to Mandhira Punnaghai after reading the review.

Mandira Punnagai songs are really good, Vidyasagar has tried to experiment with different styles in past which didnt work out well, but in Mandira Punnaghai most of songs are listenable and a musical treat for my ears.

I like :
Megam vanthu pogum
Satta sada sada -
Sithan mugam ondru
Enna Kuraiyo

Hi

I posted this somewhere else before realising there was a thread for one of my favourite but often underrated composers. I'd like to highlight an obscure but outstanding song composed by VS for the 2006 movie "Paasa Kiligal". I always knew VS was a good composer but I never knew he was so good until I heard this song.

The song is titled "Thendral ennum thear eari" in the rare Naasika Bhooshani raga. Beautiful nadhaswaram, thavil and mirudhangam playing. But even more outstanding is the singing by Madhu Balakrishnan, another underrated but superb talent. (Fortunately, VS has amply recognised his talent.) Listen especially to Madhu's breathless jadhis. I haven't stopped listening to the song since first discovering its existence last month.

I'm new here and not sure whether it is acceptable to post links to music sites but here's a link to the song.

iPremZ,

Thanks for posting the link to the song. It's an amazing composition by Vidyasagar. Very IR-ish (Similar to what the IR-KJY combo used to dish out regularly in the late 80's films)! Beautiful use of Nasika Bhushani raga by VS and a great tune. Above all, a smoothhhhh-as-silk rendering by Madhu Balakrishnan. His Brighas are so effortless and brilliant! He, and not Vijay Yesudas is the real contender for Yesudas' throne, I must say! I expected the song to build up to a crescendo, but it ended rather abruptly.

All said and done, the song is an undiscovered gem from Vidyasagar's repetoire indeed. It's a pity such songs never received any airtime, while the channels bombard you with most insipid numbers!

ILaingjan songs got released yesterday.

Theres duet song sung by KArthik and Shreya G...Awesome

Finally listened to the songs from Ilaingjan song.


I like these three songs:
Oru Nila Oru Kulam - Karthick & SHreya Goshal (best melody from VS in 2010)
Mazhaiyil kulirtha - Karthick & Anwesha
Imaithoothane - Chinmayee

I think he used "symphony orchestra" to record all the songs, music sounds very different compared to the current songs.

Karthik Shreya - Awesome pair. Waiting to listen to this song any links please
