Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[suresh]

மன்னிக்கவும், "எந்த ஜென்மம்" பாடியது ஜானகியம்மா. வேறு பாடலின் நினைவில் எழுதி விட்டேன்.

Suresh,

I have heard the Telugu version of 'Yezhimalayan Mahimai'. Lovely songs. There is one more song in that movie which didn't get picturized, "ae jagaala sangamamo" I think is the song.

"kathirunden thaniye" is a superb song as well. Love it.

Listening again to 'Gayam 2'. "andala lokam" rocks.

One more on-screen-murder of a klassik, carried out under the watchful eyes of Sridhar :



குறிஞ்சி மலரில் வழிந்த ரசத்தை உறிஞ்சத்துடிக்கும் உதடு இரண்டும்
(அழகே உன்னை ஆராதிக்கிறேன், எஸ்பிபி / வாணி ஜெயராம்)

I'm seeing this video for the first time (not disappointed, just irritated)...

"Margatha Veenai" picks
-Ennai Nee Paadaathae
-Margatha Veenai
-Kannaa vaa kavitha solven vaa

Nenjil Aadum Poo Ondru picks
-Kodi Inbam for sure....
the violin weaves along with keyboard keys peeking in..
love how the electric guitar merges into the waves of the veenai...electronica replies to the flute...
wanted to hear all the rest that others have posted but stuck on this one...if only complaints were always this sweet

"ninna choosina udayam kaadidhi" from 'Chinnabbaye'. Not giving the youtube link since it will bring down the whole experience!!! Sujatha is in top form.

Totally agree! beautiful tune. When i heard it the first time, i couldnt really associate with the ilaiyaraaja i had known (till then). I mean, given the new composers emerging during that period, I didnt feel it was ilaiyaraaja. His signature was missing, till the charanams (all through from prelude to pallavi to 1st interlude). Not that they were not good. They were brilliant. Yet they sounded as if the music was composed by a new composer (sounded fresh basically), like Sri (he was doing similar kind of songs in telugu just around that time). May be it is the sound of the song, the prelude (havent heard IR doing such kind of preludes) etc. i didnt see IR till the charanam came. The solo violin which joins in at charanams - thats where Ilaiyaraaja left his mark. Beautiful composition (perhaps the only beautiful song in that album)!

Well sung by chitra and Iam now hearing this song after many years:-

From Raman Abdullah....
The last song is a stunner -
no one in this world can compose like this man..
<experts clarify> Suddha saveri </experts clarify> beauty Pudhidhaai ketkum puththam pudhu keerthanam - is the best number from this album. LAte 90s - Raja could have simply taken rest after this album - final word on composition and melody...
This came around the same time as Guru (mal) this song could have easily fitted into that album in place of Ponaaram song. Sweet and haunting. No words to praise the master - the synth points in charanam are so tastefully done, one doesnt miss the cello or violin in its place. Good job overall mixing wise too!!!

Jai,

'Pudhidai Ketkum' is based on Madhyamavathi. Wonderful album, 'Raman Abdullah'.
