    MSK, this is a review written for those songs some time back

    KONJI PESALAM

    Siru Siru - Eats up "munnam seitha thavam" and "agaya thamarai" which had similar higih intensity "keeravani" usage..Unni comes off effortlesly in high pitched charanams (first few lines)..for the cracking tune and rendition by the singer - 4.5/6

    Unnai thedi thedi - Raga pahadi (?) is hinduthani relative of raga mohanam. Loved the way the charanams rise up and melt back into the pallavi - Sadhana emotes well, but sounds strained in the first lines of the charanams- for the "down to earth & simple but yet so effective" tune - 5/6

    Yezhu vannam - listen to the charanams...sudden twist to bring a folkish taste (or innocent sounding portions of the song), in contrast to the pop"ish pallavi..Lyrics could have been better ...this is thilang raga mostly - 3/6

    Contd...

    Adhara surudhi - the charanams, the first two lines - my word, its a blinder..IR catches u totally unawares...no percussions, a mystic environment is created...then karthik starts of "mottu ondru en ullathil", and the percussions pitch in...massive effect. Thats IR's wizardy for u - song uses both natabhairavi & keeravani - karthik does a good job, sadhana is adequate - but pallavi could have had less synth in the recipe - 5.5/6

    Idhuvarai Naan - the full meals time from IR...remember "azhagu malar aada" in turbulent sounding raga chandrakouns..this is no less a composition...Tippu bowled me over with his classy rendition - for the picture perfect tune and the classy rendition - 6/6

    Kasthuri pottu - "Yerikara poongaatre" from thooral ninnu pochu is a similar song where shankarabharanam raga was used for a folkish flavour - same here. Cool again, from Tippu - the area which i liked about tippu is his ability to give "folk" tinge to the singing...thats what u call "emoting" while u sing...good number - 4/6

    Bottomline - As always, worth every penny !!!

    [* Indications of ragas used are my own judgements. Scrutiny and further discussions welcome]

    I wonder why "MOUNAMEY NENJIL NAALUM" & "NARUMANA MALARKALIN SUYAMVARAMO KANNIL" both from the film Urangaatha Ninaivugal is not listed at all. Will anyone clarify, on what ragas these 2 were composed?

    Kannan:

    "Mouname.... Nenjil Naalum Nee Ezhudhum... Kanave kavidhai... is an excellent song by KJY. It resembles "yetho Ninaivugal" of Agal Vilakku; also resembles "Kannamma..Kadhal thandha,," which is listed as Samudrapriya by Vel.

    Vel, This song needs some attenetion from your side also. I am not having any links to make you listen this song now. Can Anybody help ?

    The second song by Kannan, I could not re-collect, though i remembered to have seen this in the film then. Kannan can give some additional details.

    CSR,

    Rombo naalaikku appuram innaikku "yaar thoorigai" and "ennai thodarndhu", both i had listed in Lathangi....

    I am totally flat with astonishment...Yaar thoorigai especially...It will take sometime for me to even understand the exact scale used...i will use what you had in group, for reference...

    Vel : Yaar thoorigai... simple approach is E to E of keyboard (Sindhu Bairavi..) and Replace Ma with Ga3 . (so both G2 and G3 is there in this song)! Shruthi bedham group of Sarasangi lists Chakravaham and Dharmavathy. IR has added this raagam (How to name It ?)Which is not allowed as per Melakartha scheme. A puzzle.
