Ilaiyaraja and the bass guitar!

Dear All, Im a newbie to this wonderful site. Ive just been going through the old IR threads, especially 'Ilaiyaraja and the guitar' and the like. I was fascniated by the way ppl had discussed these topics (Mux, Kanchana and Kitcha ... hats Off!) I am absolutely bowled out by IRs use of the bass guitar in many many songs, like Ninnukori, POOgatru PudhirAnathu and so on. Im planning to learn the acoustic guitar and I thought Ilaiyaraja's love for the bass guitar shopuld be discussed more in detail. Please post ur comments!

  The songs "EdhO solla vaieduthen" and "Gundu Malli" from Soll MarAndha kadhai have excellent bass backdrops - yet another exmaple of 'recent' great work by our Maestro!

  the song Roja Poonthotham (from Kannukkul Nilavu 2000) has a great bass guitar parts throught the song.
  also check out the song Vellinilave Vellinilave from Nandhavana Theru 1995.(not for bass but) there is an amazing interlude having a veena acoustic guitar counterpoint(?not sure of the term..lemme know if im correct).

  hey guys, listen to "baby shake it baby" song fom kaali with terrific bass. I think it is the most hip song even after 30 years

  The song 'Neelavana Odaiyil' has an excellent bass guitar piece in the intro to the song, just before SPB starts singing, and the interludes are good too!

  What about the bass in "Iravu nilavu" song from Anjali?
  
  
• From: Srivatsan (@ 61.1.200.183) on: Mon Feb 23 12:49:18 EST 2004
  
  Anjali was one of IR's great albums - i love the Iravu Nilavu song. What about the 'Vegam Vegam' song from the same film?

  Conratulations... Srivatsan, but do visit TFMforum more often ,
  "this forum has been a good one, not only in terms of content, but it really helped a lot to cope up with my tough times".... forum is better than listening to Maestro' songs in helping to cope up with your difficult times?....
  
  for me IR's songs have helped me many times to survive some of the most stressful times including some of my ridiculous exams
  
  Good luck
  
  Prabhudas

  Mr. Prabhudas, thanks for your wishes. Of course Maestro's songs have meant more than anything and have helped me to succesfukky cope with stress and depression better than anything or anybody. I have bought a new guitar, and I'm starting my Isai PayaNam from this week - sole motivation being the Maestro and his Music. I hope to play a lot of hos songs.
  
  vaarthaigalil nanri evvalavu sonnalum podhave podhadhu - Raajavin Music vaasiththu thaan avarukku nanri solla pogren naan. Thanks you Meastro.

  hey!!! I'm BACK.
  
  I was listening to 'Ennamma Kannu' from Mr. Bharath last week. What a bass pattern this song has! just fantastic. The sharp guitar twangs in the beginning and in the middle of the song are so good, and there is this bass peice going in the background is just stupendous!
  
  How does He do it all the time??

  Vizhiyile Mani Vizhiyile
  Vaan Meethiley Adhi Kalai Nera Raagam

  Mr. Prabhudas: Job is good, but its a bit taxing :)
  
  From waht films are these songs "Boopalam Isaikkum" and "thooral ninnu pochu"? I thought TNP is a film - is there a song wiht the same lines??
  
  Yeah Vanna Vanna Pookal is really good, especially 'Kannamma' and 'Ila nenjeva vaa' ... great nah?
  
  Mr. Kaalam, can you give the film names of these songs??
  
  
• From: Prabhudas (@ 140.251.171.216) on: Sun Apr 4 09:53:17 EDT 2004
  
  "Boopalam isaikkum" is the song from "TNP" movie by Bagyaraj other songs in that movie are also good" Yerikkarai poongaatre" and " thanga changili"
  the other songs mentioned
  
  "Vizhiyile Mani Vizhiyile" from "Nooravadhu naal"....A must listen for evry IR fan ( I used to tell my nontamil speaking friend , don't die with out listening to this song, if you are dying soon)
  "Vaan Meethiley Adhi Kalai Nera Raagam" - another gem from " raagangal Maaruvadillai"
  enjoy...

  Guys,
  Dont miss 'Kalyana Thenila' from Mounam Sammatham. The Pallavi, Prelude and the interludes are enriched with bass Guitar... Simply great...
  
  
• From: Veera (@ 129.9.163.234) on: Thu Apr 8 11:45:26 EDT 2004
  
  Thanga changili, Yaar thoorigai thandha oviyam,Megam kottatum,Oru ganam oru yugamaga,- Literally every top song of raaja has this Bass effect. This is one of my favorite topics .. I will keep adding songs and variations to it soon in a separate thread.
  
  
• From: Srivatsan (@ 61.2.224.62) on: Sat Apr 10 03:56:41 EDT 2004
  
  Another couple of songs:
  
  Santhu Pottu from Thevar Magan has a bass backing in it after the interlude ... can someone tell me whether I am right?
  
  Ennodu sernthu paadumgal from ???? has a good bass track. So does the Ilamai enum poongatru song ...
  
  
  
  
• From: srivatsan (@ 61.1.200.105) on: Sat Apr 10 12:46:19 EDT 2004
  
  Yeah I heard the songs from Thooral ninnu pochu - very nice ones ... I also happened to hear this song from Ragangal Maruvadhillai - "Vaan meethle" ... an excellent song with a grrovy bass track ... Mr. Prabhudas, have you heard this song??
  
  "Raakadhi raja un thandhirangal" from Mannan also has a nice bass track :) And "Pudhu maapilaikku" from aboorva sagodharargal - waht a song! The chorus is stunning and so is the bass track!
  
  
• From: Srivatsan (@ 61.2.224.239) on: Sun Apr 11 13:08:58 EDT 2004

  sorry guyz...i am also an IR fan....i love his work. But i would like to inform you that 'ennama kannu' is a blatant rip-off of a russian number i have heard.
