app,

'poomalai' a lovely song. Now listening to 'varudhu varudhu' from 'Brahma' Thanks to thumburu for speaking about the song and app_eng for the link.

Yesterday I was in a theatre where the operator had loaded the reel wrongly!! So switched on the lines and started playing Raja's telugu songs. 'O Paapa Laali' and 'Gallu Gallu Gallu Mana'. Was pleasantly surprised. Generally the filler music in most theatres is some recent kutthu paatu.

I could not go past this song. This one kills me like anything. Just that prelude guitar piece and the guitar piece at the end of first interlude is enough for me to put it in loop. How could he freak out with guitar for a pathos song without spoiling the feel of the song? Only Maestro fossible

(stealing hub's most admired word!).
The prelude starts similar to Nenjathai Killaathe title theme, but the way guitar is played in the middle feels like someone is breaking it

. Never heard such amazing guitar work, everytime how can he play differently. The first interlude starts off with a phaser, but I thought there is no place for guitar then, but suddenly for few moments guitar is played which is totally different from the actual flow, but totally in sync. The same is played at the end of interlude which is the most fascinating part to me in the whole song.

Coming to the rendering, When KJY goes to lower octaves (please observe when he sings "Arike Arike" and "Ee IruL", his voice sounds like never heard before, very very sweet. Normally lower octaves does not register to many singers. Even if it registers, it will not be sounding as beautiful as KJY's. Beautiful tune and interludes with that magical touch of meloncholy violin, Mesmerizing song!. In fact, all songs in this film are outstanding.

Recommended to listen to a good quality rather than this youtube link to appreciate it better, especially the guitar.

Wonderfully put V_S! Thanks for introducing this song to me.

A_E, nice writeup on Poomalai... one blinder of a club song! The drums, bass guitar, guitar, trumpets... live instruments are unmatched in the energy and emotions they bring out! All synthesizers please go to self-destruct mode!

Listening to this rendition of 'asalem thochadhu naaku' from 'Anathapuram'. This girl does a decent job considering her age and the complexity of the song. (She starts after SPB finishes his song.)

A while back I posted about the Maragatha Veenai song, finally got the film yesterday.
Here is the Kanna Vaa song someone mentioned that wasn't on youtube.

The instrumental parts are nice....
As for the movie itself, it is just o.k. More potential than execution...
