  Song#1 -- I am not having it.
  
  BGM of Raaja Paarvai is already available with Anand Mahadevan site. The address is given in this thread in Old Responses.
  
  Other BGMs are not currently available with me.

  Rex:
  I particularly asked for "Andha Vaanatha pola.." because of IR's voice. There are a couple of such songs which suit his voice very well. Another example would be "Appan enrum Ammai enrum.." from Guna. Would love to see that song on your site too ! Why 1 charanam, even the pallavi or a single interlude from IR would make me happy :-) But I suppose you would like to consider the wishes of your other fans too and then take a decision on whether to upload half the song ! BTW, just noticed Muthu Mani Maala ! Thanks for the treat :-)
  
  Another request would be "Thaalatum poongatru.." from "Gopura Vaasalile" - any song from GV would do for that matter !
  
  I am listening to 'Kaatril..'s instrumental version. Was this done by IR himself ? My wife who (unfortunately) has never thought very high of "Kaatril..", just came in and said that it was wonderful (she's an ARR fan, so that's not surprising) ! She just admitted, "ippadi kaeta apparumadhaan theriyarudhu !". What a pity that only this naasama pona recording must have been the reason for IR's downfall :((( I feel like bawling in frustration :(((((
  
  What happened to the mind-blowing interludes that were there in the original ? I just wish we could hear the original with the same recording quality :(
  
  My wife is just going crazy over "Kaadhal Oviyam" Gawd !!! She's talking about it as I would talk about IR's music :-))))) She hates the way Jency pronounces the 'r' as 'rR' and has just noticed the beauty of the melody when played by flutes and violins and keyboard :-)
  
  I swear ! if we could get all of IR's biggest hits redone this way another 2 generations would benefit from his magic :-)

  Srinath:
  
  The 3 BGMs that I have uploaded were composed by Isaignani Maestro Dr.Ilaiyaraaja himself for the movie AUR EK PREM KAHANI directed by Balu Mahendra.
  
  Antha Vanatha song is uploaded as a special request by you.
  
  I will try to upload GV songs by next upload.
  
  Thanks for your response on the instrumental ones and am expecting more fans to share their comments about these fine melodic tunes of Raaja, created and modified by himself....Raaja Raaja thaan.

  Rex:
  Would you happen to know anything else about this movie "Aur Ek Prem Kahani" ? Has it been released yet ? If so, how was its music received ? I know this is outside the scope of TFM, but since the source itself is from TFM I think it is a relevant question. Has IR done something like this before ? Is he planning to do any more in future ?

  Another request. There is this song from Chinna Veedu (I think) - "Ada Macham ulla machan naan pudhu vidha ragam". It has a humming very similar to Idhu Oru Nila Kaalam (nagir dhana, dhira nana dhira na..), I think Vijay would remember it well :-)). Would it be possible for you to upload that song too - I've not seen it on any other site so far.

  Rex,
  
  I am listening to the music of Aur Ek Prem Kahani. The one which you have mentioned as 'Olangal' is actually 'Neer veezhchi thee mootudhey, thee kooda kulir kaayudhey' from a Balu Mahendra movie acted by Archana. I forgot the movie's name.
  
  If you only listen to all those Hindi songs of this movie which are actually the remake of IR's popular tamil hits, they are absolutely misfit for the Hindi audience. My Hindi speaking friends hated those songs. I felt very bad, when I bought the cassette and played proudly for them. IR somehow is unable to please the Hindi audience.
  
  The remake of 'Pothi vecha malligai mottu' in Hindi for this movie 'Ho na hai tho ho hee jayegaa' was a disaster.
  
  I am glad, you preferred the music versions alone.

  Rex saar,
  i just noticed that the BGM for Olangal is the SAME as the song I was requesting.....
  Sangathil paadatha kavithai.. from autoraaja
  is the same tune of the BGM...... It is hard to believe that IR is recycling! but anyways the tune was too excellent to go unnoticed.....
  and the Anand mahadevan's rajapaarvai links arent working:-(, thats why I requested you!

  Vijay:
  
  Soon you can expect the BGMs from me.
  
  Nags:
  
  "Punnagayil Minsaram" from BHARATHAN is available from my page already. Please refer to song # 27.
  
  Friends: I am getting certain requests from you which are already available in my page. So please go through each and every gem in my page. Or else it means you are missing a lot of good stuff. Just do not stop with your requests or with those songs which seems to be familiar to you. Take time to browse through EACH & EVERY song.... that is the purpose of my page.

  eh!
  this is surprising, IR has recycled his sangathil..padaatha kavithai from autoraaja already once in an Archana movie and now again for Aur Ek prem Kahani! sad!

  Srinath:
  
  The film was released somewhere around 96 or 97. It was a flop though. Definitely Raaja's stuff was not received well with the Hindi audience.
  
  I do not consider anything wrong with Raaja reusing his own tunes for different movies. If a Director like BM insists on some refurbishing of his old tunes, then there is nothing wrong in Raaja doing that.
  
  Also personally i do not care. For me those 4 instrumental versions are like a treasure. At least fans like Srinath and his wife could not resist hearing those tunes again and again and again.

  Rex,
  
  Thanks a ton for the 'Aur Ek Prem Kahani' instrumental versions. The album was never given any publicity. The film was a remake of Kamal's 'Kokila' (Kannada) starring Ramesh Arvind, Heera and Revathi. I think Balu Mahendra just about managed to release it to Doordarshan. No wonder no one seems to be aware of the album.
  
  Your files are of Top quality. They sound great on my machine. Noted that IR has changed the orchastration for the interludes. He never fails to amaze!
  Do you have a good version of Janaki's 'Kaatril Endhan Geetham' from Johny? If it's available elsewhere, guys could you give me the URL?
  
  Thanks
  Neels

  rex, i think the above songs are available in ramaswamy gireesan's site. u might want to check his site before u post your songs because he hasanother pretty good collection of the early 80s raja songs and some songs in rare raagas too. the link to his site is given in the TFM links page. BTW, thanx for moving some of the songs to a new server, iam able to listen to them.Pl. move the others too especially 'devanin koil moodiya neram' a fantastic melody from aruvadai naal.u'r new additions are excellent.u are making many of us go into nostalgia, big time. srinath, of course i remember the humming :)) in the chinna veedu song. i too wondered the first time when i heard it that it sounded similiar to idhu oru nilaak kaalam.there is nothing to beat this song though, from tik tik tik.it blows me off my feet every time i listen to it. fantastic song fortunately backed up by 'imaginative', 'ahead of its age' picturisation by bharathiraaja. there is another song in chinna veedu, 'chittu kuruvi vetka paduthu' which was listed in IR's copy aditha paadalgal thread as having been inspired from dvorak's symphony. that's a pretty good song too.
