Great Album
Hooked on to it since morning.
Going to get original CD from India by courier.
God!
Music God
IR
Incomparable, Iniyilla one and only composer living amidst us.
I am blessed again today. Cannot ask for more .
Paruruvaaya - I get to remember prakashraj doing saashtaagam getting emotional in IR studio as mentioned by him. Truely this song evokes multiple emotions needless to say each and every cell gets its share and rejuvenation.
Initially we heard that the album has 12 numbers as reported , may be we have several bits coming in , filling in to take the story telling and narration forward??
I wish the remaining gems find its way in the BGS or at appropriate montages thru out the film.
Does anyone notice that the aattakkari maman ponnu song is very unconventional in the design and orchestration? Its like the song itself is "drunk", where despite the regular interludes and preludes, the stanzas are purposely broken instead of being free flowing. Its like broadway theater feel with a bit of playfulness.
I am destroyed by the thaarai thapattai theme. The interplay with different percussions is one thing but once those nadhaswarams come in and lay onto you, it becomes a symphony of anger. Sasikumar does not need to even emote when the angry moments come, just this theme is enough to make him look like a angry destroyer.
If musicians of the future and the present want to learn about innovation, the thaarai thappattai theme should become a thesis. He has basically used nadhaswaram, voice accompaniments (at the end) and percussions in a way you will never imagine.

Just listened only once. Couldn't resist to post.
My top rated ones
Theme music - combination of symphony like, traditional (tamil/Kerala style) etc. Just mind blowing!!!
Paruruvaaya and Attakari song catches one right away.
Rest of songs needs more listenings.
Sharreth's idarinum song - he sounds like Balamuralikrishna to me.
For the time being - People who are in Oscar awards team, including one of our Indian born musician - hope you all get to hear it. This is the music from a man who has crossed more than 1000 films and still stronger and exceptional than anyone on earth!!!!
My thoughts exactly. I don't blame IR for doing what was required of him by Bala but I don't think I can stomach more heavy melancholy. It's a pity that increasingly TFM only has scope for these kind of scores from IR (as compared to the refreshing lightness of Abbhaiyitho...).
