Who is this Harris Jeyaraj?
Apart from being a keyboard player for ARR, what is his history?
He wasnt in the news until he came up with this album of Minnale, which defly deserves a mention.
Dhina who was in news quite sometime is no more to be found. HJ came in limelight with his first mega release, which my friend in Chennai says has become a hit overnight. Post news links to HJ here.

  ARR and HJ, I understand are best of pals since childhood...When MSV scored film music Shanker Ganesh were also composing music DITTO...MSV..styleand TFM...accepted them..
  When S.D.Burman was composing R.D, was also doing similar films like Dad.
  Why in Manickkam and Alexander,..KR..copied exactly...his father...In fact we need another ARR and it is good HJ is arrived . ARRwill compose music for 5 films a year and Harris can do more...
  People who will be out of business are DEVA,SAR,etc...A.A.

  Arvind&dorai,
  I just told the truth.If you don't
  believe it I'am not bothered.
  I have no reason to lie for such a petty issue.
  Poi solli enakkenna IR thangapadhakkama kodukka
  poraru?If you think IR's albums after 1992 are
  craps,fine.That's your view.I know what is the
  real truth and I'am least interested in you
  Knowing it.
  Also i'am least interested to discuss about IR
  with people with biased notions about a MD.I know
  more about IR's music and its greatness than you
  whether it is post or pre 1992 period.

  Vikram Chander,
  I am a ardent fan of IR. That does not mean that I will praise and exaggerate whatever IR composes. IR has composed more crappy songs after 1992 than good ones. As 'Trend' in this thread pointed out IR's composition resembles compositions that are made by a MD who does not have even 'Kadugu Allavu' musical knowledge. This is somewhat true. I don't accept 100% of what our friend 'Trend' said but in essence he stated the facts boldly. Tell me one movie after 1992 where IR produced any good music like what he did in 1980's. Thevar Magan was his last good one. That was composed before ARR came into the scene. After that he got pysched out by ARR's dominance and kept going after Symphonies, Hungary Archestra et al. Bottom line is no great performance.

  FliFlo,
  Nos. 17 to 18 came before ARR came into the scene and had wonderful songs. But nos. 1-16 do not fall into the category of IR's great musical compositions of 1980's and late 1970's in my opinion. It had some flashes of IR's brilliance and here and there but fell short of expectations

  a.a,
  
  Are you sure? because from the movie 'Sangamam', The synth pad fill ins were not as smooth as ARR's previous albums. similar playing style I noticed in 'Minnale' songs.

  Friends
  
  After listening to Mr Jeyraj music,what i feel
  i think he will the next ARR in the sense
  Mr Deva used to be poor mans IR during those times
  in the same way now this Jeyraj will be the poor mans ARR copy or no copy this kind of music is what our youngsters like.
  And thats all says that most of the TFM fans here esp IR fans like me are old or getting old in the process. But i am always open minded fresh to new ideas,so all the best Mr Harris!!

  I dont like the way music is made now...they dont stay...They are not wholesome compositions, although they sound very good becoz for the first time we see quality in music...NONE of the ideas that I have heard are fresh in recent movies...I have heard them in other compositions some place or the other...if this is what u people think music is, fine....you guys will FOREVER like what MDs give you. I NEED CHANGE...(GASPING OUT OF BREATH)....PLEASE GIVE ME WATER....IR is truly a genius, and if IR had the patience to give musicians their credit for performing in their own style, and had a separate and good set up for recording - it would have been pure MUSIC...music for the heart...I think you will be doing pure injustice if you compare him to any MD. You have to know music if you really want to understand his worth....

  Dorai Sir
  
  Like our statements long back concerning IR and AVM, your previous posting is also wrong. Ejamaan was released in 1993, while Roja was released in 1992.
  
  UV
  
  You can call HJ as poor man's ARR. But I don't think you can equate him to Deva. There is a difference. Deva did not play any role in IR's team. So when he composed on his own, he was NOT considered a threat to IR.
  
  But HJ seems to be THE man behind ARR's keyboard. And already people have started to say that he is a threat to ARR....

  Doubter,
  Ejaman might have been released in 1993. But most likely, IR scored the music in mid 1992 just before Roja was released. Ejaman definetly has got the original IR's touch and going by that, I am pretty sure it was composed before Roja's release.

  I know this has got nothing to do with this thread
  but as i told earlier in one of the other threads.
  IR music style did get affected after ARRs coming.
  He himself lamented in Vikatan some yrs back that he is not getting any offers even after scoring a different style.
  Basically he is not focused or out of touch with present day music period.
  Ok why you people are bashing over this Harris,already he made u guys to fight heh?
  As somebody earlier mentioned yes now i also agree about the keyboard arrangement of harris and arr music are one and the same is that Harris was the one all along setting ARR keyboard arrangement?

  Time, I understand all that. I didn't try to prove I know more - but without knowing anything it is rather childish to talk about things. We first learn things and then talk...but this attitude has been with many in this thread that discuss without knowing something - the result is that people are mislead. Kelvi gnanam is dangerous, thats why a majority of things are documented. If you dont get the right kind of information from the right person, you would never know that earth is round and it revolves around the sun.
