Awakening to Background Score

[Plum]

Carrying over from a blog on this topic, thought it would be interesting if we go back and figure out when did we first wake up to the concept called background music.
Speaking of me, growing up in the 80's, a golden period for Raja's BGM, I must confess that I walked through such classics as Johnny, Mouna Raagam, Raaja paarvai without realising the gift I had been offered. My loss. It was with Agni N that my senses awoke to the touch of this animal called BGM.
This thread is for everyone to recall their BGM-Eureka moment.

If my memory serves right - it was while watching Nayagan on TV I guess.

The scene where nayakar meets his daughter in her house and learns that she was married and has a son as well.

The BGM that ran in the background made me hum that for few hours then.



The part that starts at 4:28

Guna. I was deeply affected by that haunting musical motif (especially the chorus), it stirred down the rims of my entire emotional viscera. The problem is to spot the exact sequence which touched or dazzle me like a 'celestial spawn of gazelle' that would forever change or awaken the whole consciousness to BGM. But the film, I'm sure, is Guna.

Roja - i watchd it in theater - the scene where wasim khan gets caught, Music was so hollywood style action movie BGM, i used to wonder how rahman brought that effect. It set me to look for BGMs in other movies as well.

Though I had been watching movies all these years, it took till 2004 for me to realize and experience the various aspects of a movie such a cinematography, music, re recording, theme music, background score etc etc.

October 17th, 2004, Thiyagaraja Theater, Thiruvanmiyur, is exactly when and where the magic happened. First time I experienced a movie along with mesmerizing background score which touched my soul. And that is exactly when I became a big fan of the composer of this movie! The movie along with the songs and background score will never be forgotten in my life!

The movie was 7G Rainbow Colony and the composer, Yuvan Shankar Raja! Kudos to Selva, Yuvan and 7G Team.
