I'm a new visitor to this website. I couldn't see anyone discussing about Vani Jayaram's songs.
Let me start this one.(It had been there previously pls. forgive me!)

"Ezhu swarangalukkul ethanai paadal..
Ithaya surangathul ethanai kelvi...
Vaazhum manitharukkul ethanai salanam.."

Wow! Beautiful voice!

Susi, you can log on to www.musicindiaonline.com
Click Kannada in the menu. Click Neela from the following menu. You have to register as a member (which takes less than 30 seconds - that is only if you haven't already.) Good luck!

Neel D, those are some brain teasers you've put up there! I can't get my head around it...but I am thinking real hard...just so you know, I am trying!
Am still awaiting the review of the the compilations!
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Mon Jan 28 22:08:20 EST 2002

Naaz,

Clue: All songs are from the 80s.
It was a busy weekend. Please check your email.

Naaz: What are the other songs in machchaanai paaththeengala? I thought there were a couple more that were popular at that time.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Mon Jan 28 22:36:20 EST 2002

KIK- yennge poiirunthel?? Long time no see hear speak? I have no info on the other songs. The Maampoove song seemed to overpower the airwaves when the film was released - and that might have cost the other songs from the film dearly!
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Mon Jan 28 22:37:34 EST 2002

Vani Jairam sang from Jitendra Abisheki in a Marathi film (for which he composed the music) in 1971. Sorry I don't know the name of the film. Does anybody here have a clue?
From: avr (@ 143.127.3.10) on: Mon Jan 28 23:30:04 EST 2002

Naaz, neither do I. I enquired in a very leading store about their songs together but nobody seems to know at all. JAs songs with other singers (not LM,AB) are more famous.

BTW do u know a person called Ajit Kadkade - he is a famous disciple of JA too.
From: avr (@ 143.127.3.10) on: Mon Jan 28 23:31:10 EST 2002

BTW VJs MaFM repertoire is extremely miniscule. Her Marathi OP is the 3-4 albums - i think mostly dvotional.
From: susi (@ 216.209.200.18) on: Tue Jan 29 10:17:01 EST 2002

In the movie Dhurgadevi there is a nice song by vani: Khetal kheta varem tharum thaye un saranem music IR. Another movie Music IR and vani sang is Sonathu Neethana, song: Yengum theivam inge. (anyone have heard???)
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Tue Jan 29 22:26:36 EST 2002

I listened to VJ's album with Kelucharan Mahapatra for the first time(thanks to Naaz). For those who have not heard it, you don't know what you are missing. That sweetness, bhaavam, jeevan, ease and the VJ-special modulations, you have to experience it. I cannot even try to estimate TFM's loss over the years for not utilizing VJ's talents.
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Tue Jan 29 22:27:47 EST 2002

No attempts at my quiz yet?
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Wed Jan 30 00:27:33 EST 2002

I'm working on it, Neel D. I almost got number 4...but then realised I was thinking of an altogether different (yet similar) song...
Sometime last year, a poster here denounced VJ's voice as lacking bhavam and jeevan...those very words. What some people hear, is what some people clearly don't. Thanks, Neel D, and yeah, you're welcome.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Wed Jan 30 00:38:58 EST 2002

Neel - is #4 Azhagiya Vizhigalil Arubathu Kalaigalum...from Darling3?
From: G.Ragavan (@ 139.85.116.189) on: Wed Jan 30 09:23:22 EST 2002

yes. naaz. "Azahiya Vizihalil" song is from Darling3. It is a very good duet.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Wed Jan 30 11:58:34 EST 2002

Neel D -
#4 in your quiz: Kaatrinile Varum Geetham Kannanavan Kuzhal Naadham - from Rasigan Oru Rasigai.
(I told you, I was working on it...)
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Wed Jan 30 12:17:25 EST 2002

Neel D - Quiz - #3
Sopannathil Sindhu Padiththaen.
Two down, two to go?
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Wed Jan 30 23:04:43 EST 2002

Naaz, #4 is correct. #3 is incorrect.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Thu Jan 31 02:14:46 EST 2002

Ok. :-(
I'll keep my mind on it...but go ahead, if you want to spill the beans.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Thu Jan 31 09:44:26 EST 2002

Neel D,
I am listening to Ram Kaho Rahman Kaho...it is an amazing song for the quiet hours of the morning. Soul cleansing. It is on the compilation of music I sent across...What do you think of it?
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Thu Jan 31 22:02:59 EST 2002

1)

OK. Now post the links! :-)
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Fri Feb 1 12:59:58 EST 2002

Could someone tell me if there is a link to this song from Sirai:
A duet by VJ-PJC (I think):
Rasathi Rosapove Vekkam Vekkam Yaeno Innum...
Picturised in the film on Ilavarasi and Pandian.
thanks in advance for you help!
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Sat Feb 2 16:10:11 EST 2002

Neel D - I have not heard that song from Nellikkani for so long...You've now put me in a loop and all I can think of is Paadu Thendrale Pudhumanam Vandhadhu...
Link Varuma??
From: Neel D (@ 24.98.40.94) on: Sat Feb 2 17:29:08 EST 2002

Naaz, 'pAdu thenRalE" is a lovely semiclassical. Music by SG. All songs in my quiz were from Oli's VJ special. I recorded those songs by holding a microphone in front of the speaker. konjam pazaiya technology :-) I haven't found these songs on the web.
From: Naaz (@ 24.76.127.63) on: Sat Feb 2 17:57:23 EST 2002

Isn't it a lovely song? I also like Muthuradhamo Mullaicharamo (VJ/PJC) - was that once again a S-G tune?
Never mind the pazhaiya technology, Neel - it is better to have these songs than not have them at all. I wish I had tuned in to the Oli show at the right time. I hope I have better luck another time!
Write sometime.

Neel D: You need total recorder which is a piece of software that you can set to record in the background while your sound card plays music over the internet (real audio/mp3/whatever). It automatically ignores pauses due to congestion/traffic. Record the songs as wav files and you can burn 'em on a cd and play on a regular cd player too. License fee is $10 (it's shareware) and you get free software upgrades. I got version 3.1 more than a year ago and jave just upgraded free to 3.3. I'm a satisfied customer and have no relationship to the makers.

Newsflash (of a digressive nature):
I just hopped into the "Favorite Singer" thread. Guess what: VJ gets one and half votes! (the half vote shared with PS and SJ.)Anuradha Sriram gets more votes than VJ (if I counted right).
What does all this tell us:
WE (in this THREAD) are Connoisseurs of Excellence!

this is an article i just happened to find on the net - its about Vanis recording studio.

********************************************
Bani Centre-
A singer's studio

adras' pilgrimage spot for high calibre recording - the Bani Centre - is tucked away where you least expect it to be. In a shopping complex high rise building in the hub of the city's bustle.
"Well, that's the only place we could get immediately when we wanted to open out, so we grabbed it!" smiled S Jairam, proprietor.
Actually Jairam planned this purely as a make-shift arrangement .But even before he could say Jack Robinson, the orders started floating in and the little studio soon spread itself into a grand affair over five rooms. Video facility - for the first time in Madras - and a large hall for video recording are facilities in the immediate offing here.
'The reason for this studio's success is that the people here aren't just content to remain passive spectators to a recording without offering whatever suggestions ,they can to improve the programme's overall quality," explains CBS'Madras chief Nikhil Raghavan, who does his recording and mixing down at Bani.
Such interest is very understandable once you know that the studio belongs to none other than noted playback singer Vani Jairam and her soft spoken, kurta-clad hubby. "We were quite disgusted at what we noticed when Vani was recording at various studios around: the increasing slip-shoddiness of the

engineers concerned. That's when we actually first thought of opening out our own place," said Jairam.
A trifle hesitant to blackball his counterparts, he added:' "Most studios aren't in the least involved in the enthusiasm and vision of a programme's producer and music director. Which is why we find a growing number of lousily done programmes on the racks these days. We try our best to be otherwise."
Initially, however, people found Jairam's involvement something strange, his philosophy inspired by that sound wizard M Desai a lot stranger: loyalty to the sound, not to the person. But soon the results began to show. Big names flocked to Bani to record: S P Balasubramaniam, Jayachandran, Balamuralikrishna, the Bombay Sisters, M S Gopalakrishnan, the Grace Lodge Orchestra, Jerry Amaldev, CBS, Music India. Steve Cowe did the Indian percussion section for his fusion album here, while T V Gopalakrishnan refused to go anywhere else for the final mixing down of his soundtrack for a ballet being produced for BBC!
The Bani Centre soon grew into a sort of unintentional liaison spot between artistes and music companies on the prowl for special fare - a noteworthy fact indeed. Strangely enough, the admen, considered bread' n 'butter by most Madrasi studios, have been kept away. "Not that we have anything against jingles, but it's more satisfying helping folks out with classical and devotional fare," clarified Jairam. 'Vani feels that what she has achieved is because of music lovers. An artiste is after all created and sustained solely through these music lovers. We feel indebted to give something back to the field that has given us so much!" Move one was to start a record shop Mayoora-
priya, in '82, that wasn't part of the general racket of hawking all and sundry. Here one could peacefully flirt with racks stacked with the cream of regional, classical and devotional repertoire. Says Jairam: "I was inspired by Rhythm House, where a customer browses about and chooses by himself without enthusiastic salesmen breathing down his neck. I modelled my shop on that idea."
Barely a year later, Vani wanted to do her bit for ISKCON by giving the movement a cassette of 'Easo Upanishad' for distribution. She floated a company to produce it. "Soon, however, we found that we couldn't run a company without a studio. So we took two vacant rooms above the shop and set up a make-shift affair," Jairam remembers.
People started responding to the culture of this studio in such numbers that the Jairams soon found they had bitten off a trifle more than they could chew. They were faced with the job of making a larger studio operational in two months flat to cope with the demand.
Fortunately, they brought over recording engineer M K Majeed, that bespectacled individual from the Pune Institute who had set up Jesudas 'Tharangani and then Joy's studio. Under his guidance, Bani Centre is today equipped with a TEAC 8 channel mixer, TASCAM 32 (two track) and TASCAM 44 (four track) recorders, TASCAM GE 20B equaliser, BOSS DE 200 and ROLAND RE 201 delay units, and a number of AKG D 1200, 3208T and C414EB microphones.
The studio is fully airconditioned and hire charges are Rs. 150 per hour.
