  I'm listening to PonVeliyile.... from Yathramozhi.
  What a song. Gives boundless joy. The greatness of this man is he gives songsthat just fit not only the situation, but the culture itself. By culture, I mean the language. Songs of Yathramozhi or Guru are just Mallu stuff, for Mallus. Look at his variety... He can give these kinds of songs and also "Manguyile Poonguyile.."
  
  Like I'd written sometime, somewhere before,
  'HE IS A DEMIGOD IF NOT GOD".

  Vimal - I am saddened by your posting.
  In another thread you have said that you are a Vaishnavaite and over here you have no qulams in calling IR God! I find this nothing less than blasphemy.
  Admiration should have its limits.
  Great men should be left at that. Don't indignify God in the process.
  Please change your stance, if you want your views to be taken seriously.
  
  I am writing this in the hope that my message will get across, but if it doesn't, pardon me, I apologise for interfering in your personal beliefs.

  Sudhakar Govindarajan's Thumbs Up Rating
  
  This is one of the hot selling cassettes in Chennai right now. The expectations are quite high since Agathiyan & IR come together for the first time. IR has come out in flying colors yet again.
  
  The album starts with the song, Thath Thom (Ila Arun & SwarnaLatha). The song has a catchy beat. A lot of keyboard has been used. Swarnalatha & Ila Arun have done their job well, but to me this song is nothing extraordinary by IR standards. The next song is Kaadhal Meedhu (Hariharan). I liked the song the very first time I listened to it. The flow was smooth, with good orchestration. Of late, I find IR using more keyboard than his favorite violin. Hariharan's voice and diction are pleasant. The 3rd song, AaLana naaL mudhala (Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy & Sowmya) is a typical IR folk song. Sowmya (whose voice appears to be a heavier version of Swarnalatha) makes her debut in this song and has done well. Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy is well suited for this folk song.
  
  The next song is Kannukkulla kannamma (IR & Sujatha) starts with a lot of promise but seemed to loose its way somewhere. This song reminded me of an old IR song, but am unable to recollect that one. The song has good soft music, IR's voice and a good chorus, but in the final analysis, it doesn't appeal to me. Alai Meethu by Bhavatharini is the song written by IR. Thannudaya paattu enbadhalo ennavo nirayya violin use paNNiyirukkirar. The song is short ( just about 3 minutes) with just 1 paragraph. The song is very melodious. The next song, Manasa thotta kaadhal is another good solo by Hariharan. It is a different song by IR.
  
  Looks like IR had reserved the best for the last. The last song, Diana Diana (Hariharan and chorus) is the best in the album. Especially, don't miss hearing the starting piece. The chorus is haunting and Hariharan has done a great job.
  
  Overall, the album is worth buying. If you are an IR fan, it is a MUST buy. English kallakadha tamizh paatukkaL ketka suvayaga irundhadhu. Surprising to see IR come up with different tunes and different music even after 700 odd films.

  SivaRaj's Thumbs Up Rating
  
  The movie has seven great songs. This is another great film album by Dr. Illaiyaraja. The first time you listen to the song you may not like it, but after a few listens, you are sure to be hooked. It has been proven that Illaiyaraja is the BEST not only in India, but all over the world. His music is still FRESH. It is still surprising that he can make FRESH music at this age. Long live Illaiyaraja! May the world listen to your music. It is yet another proud moment for Indians!
  
  The first song in the CD is Kaadhal Meedhu sung by Hariharan. The music has been arranged nicely in the song. Rating for the 1st song is 8/10. The 2nd song, Thath Thom, by Ila Arun & Swarnalatha, is not so good but worth a listen. The music has saved the song. Rating is 7/10 for this song. The 3rd song AaLana naaL mudhala sung by Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy & Sowmya. The song is villagish. I rate it a 7/10.
  
  The 4th song sung by Illaiyaraja & Sujatha, Kannukkule Kannamma is the one I liked the most. Because Illaiyaraja sings very romantically in some parts of the song. The music is nice. Can hear the music constantly changing. Illaiyaraja has arranged the music well. Rating is 8.5/10. 5th is Manasa thotta kaadhal sung by Hariharan. The lyrics and music are good. Rating is 9/10.
  
  6th song Diana Diana is the best song in the movie. The song is about Diana. The Music is nice. Lyrics are nice. Hariharan's voice is nice. Everbody must hear this song. Rating 10/10 for this song. The last song is Alai Meethu sung by Bavatharani. The music is a mixture of western and karnatic. Her voice is better than from before. Rating for the song is 7/10. Illaiyaraja must begin introducing new singers.
  
  Everyone must buy the CD and watch the movie, because!!!! Illaiyaraja is back in action!. A.R.Rahman must get ready to pack his bags. He will not last long!

  NOV,
  I have my limits of admiration. I'd written that line just for the sake of some kind of a comparison. That's why I limit myself in calling him a DEMIGOD. Even that is exaggerated, I admit. Don't you say in Tamil "Avan Maths Deivam.." or something like that???
  
  I'm sorry if you've misunderstood my statement and if it hurts you as some kind of blasphemy.

  "don't indignify a great man by calling him god." :-))))
  
  (many of us commit another similar mistake. we insult all non-human animal forms by anthropomorphizing them :-( )

  Hi,
  Can anybody tell me the URL where I can find songs from Yathramozhi?

  R Balaji, Gummi Pattu currently is not found anywhere on the site. Anush, Yatramozhi songs, all are in mail-bag sites. I think it is IR#2 site.

  "Aaasai machan" from GummuPattu is vintage IR stuff, Kuthalathula kullikkara madhiri irukku indha PAttoDa music.Cheers IR fans.All the other songs are also nice if you like folk songs.It is one fourth of the year and already IR has given nice numbers in Nilave Mugam Kattu, "Sorgathil" song in Rajasthan and ofcourse the song I have mentioned in the beginning. Let's hope lot more and better stuff from the genius for the rest of the year. Very eagerly awating for "Time".

  Folks,
  
  Not sure if this was discussed earlier.. I got a mallu album of IR by name Friends. THe songs are wonderful.. NMK looks pale in comparison.
  
  Especially yesudas and Chitra are tooo good . The song " Ponnaravilum " by CHitra is a mesmerising number. ALso Kadal kaatril ( pathos) by Chitra is also very good. ThangakinaPongal by Yesudas is another great number.
  
  Not sure if this movie is a latest one or Old..
  
  But I am hooked to the songs.. I would say it is better than even Kaliyoonjal and Yathramozhi.
  
  Guys don't miss this album
  
  
  Cheers
  MSK

  MSK,
  
  Could you tell me if it is available on the net ?
  
  
• From: kooththan (@ keno.pmc-vacc.com) on: Fri May 21 16:32:25 EDT 1999
  
  Murali,
  
  'karuvelam pookkal' is by Raja.
  
  One of the songs from this album is addition number 174 in Rex'x site. Listen to it and decide for yourself.
  
  ....later

  MSK, Friends is supposed to be a very,v ery recent rls. But, if you say it is better than YatraMozhi, we are in for a treat I think. Right now, ANTHAPURAM is a major, major work from IR. Please see how Friends and ANTHAPURAM compare. Is there a way to get hold of FRIENDS on the net? thanks
