He also said .. "naan podura tune director_kku pudikkira alavukku thaan irukkanum .."

Oboe, almost nil wrt other MDs.

sakala,
if u include Rahman as well, then plis listen to khwaja mere khwaja instrumental version from jodha akbar...

[venkkiram]

i dont think so. details pls.

For e.g. Acoustic drums. Its been long time we hear Crash/ride cymbal. Don't we?

[Nerd]

Its a silly debate folks - who has used the most no. of instruments, its quite funny actually. ivaru idha use pannirukkaar adhanaal avaru dhaan great, really?

I know you consider Rahman also in the race. But I am not. Because in last 5/10 years, the percentage of ARR songs been listened by Tamil youth may be around 10% (considering his Bolly/Hollywood collaborations) and rest of the time, its GVP, Yuvan, HJ, VAntony, DSR etc.

[SoftSword]

Finally, after digesting the album enough, here is my take on Neethane En Ponvasantham: http://musicmavericks.blogspot.in/20...tham-yeto.html

Nice review Aakarsh. Like the way you summed it up in the end

[MelHarmony]

The more I hear the album I am reminded of TIS album which has a similar sound feel to it...no doubt about that....as the same orchestra is being used...
One example at a time.....Vaanam mella is definitely reminding me of "maasatra jothiye" piece in Sivapuranam...
But here how Raaja's genius flows out to hide the similarities.
in the release function he was mentioning exactly about this phenomenon ....he asked directors not to ask for a song like another song....there is never such a song...if it there then it will not be a song...
