  Hi,
  Each and every time, when a new thread is open on IR or about his music, some group of people say, "why there's a need? It should be discussed in IR's new albums thread" And they advise Admin to close the thread!!! In some cases, Admin promptly did it. I am bit surprised on this. I cant understand one point, what's wrong in opening a new thread? Dont say, it occupies memory!!! When all other crazy threads are created did the admin not aware of this???
  For example, There's a thread to discuss new albums of ARR but at the same time, There's a separate thread for BABA music review!!!!! Why nobody suggested to close that and it only happens to IR ALWAYS??!! I feel like TFM Admin itself is so biased against IR!!! I am not saying based on a particular event but after some sequence of events. They happily come up with Kaadhal Virus Review, BABA review in the first page. Why not SMK, Ramana and etc??!!
  Are they trying to prove IR is no more in the field or by treating IR like this, they feel IR Fans lose interest and stop talking about his music or By shadowing out IR's work, they think that they can mask out the History???!!
  I am not saying anything wrong here, i believe. This is what i felt on seeing the things going around. And reg the BABA thread, i have just taken it as an example, and i am not at all against ARR in any sense!!! No offense meant. AIMHO!!!

  Is this Tamil Media ..??They have started recognising ILAS Background music more elaborately ..Recent example is RAMANA

  It says that the BGM is excellent

  Saran,
  
  I am not sure about Baba music thread as I am not interested in it.
  
  But personally, I would appreciate it if all of Raja's new albums are discussed in this thread and this thread alone. That way, I don't have to waste time going through umpteen number of useless threads like 'insects in TFM' and 'ARR's BGM' :-)

  Guys,
  
  Reg VanaVille song in Ramana, it sounds like it is set in madhuvanthi . Can anyone pls confirm this. The Hariharan version has a opening hum ( Sadhana.? )that is awesome .. Incidentally listen to the opening chorus hum in "meendum meendum vaaa" in Vikram which is also set in Madhuvanthi i guess..
  
  Great song and surprisingly I guess, all attention is on the BGM alone of Ramana !
  
  Thanks
  MSK

  MSK:
  
  I agree, great song, and so is "Meendum Meendum Vaa" - I think they are based on Dharmavathi (I guess Madhuvanthi may be very close to Dharmavathi).
  
  Some other songs set in Dharmavathi to
  my knowledge are
  
  Konji Konji Alaigal Oda from Veera
  song from Rosappo Ravikkaikari (awesome song,
  forgot the opening line)
  Ottagatha Kattikko from Gentleman
  I think Hello my dear wrong number (old MSV song)

  MSK & PHILOSOPHER,
  
  Vaanaville from Ramana is indeed a nice song in set in raga DHARMAVATHY. So is MEENDUM MEENDUM VAA.
  
  
• From: Vel (@ 202.88.152.159) on: Wed Nov 13 03:55:22 EST 2002
  
  Other dharmavathy by IR are,
  
  Ilam Solai Poothadhal - Unakaagavae Vazhgiren
  
  Natarajan Kudi Konda - Salangayil Oru Sangeetham
  
  Anba Sumandhu Sumandhu - Ponnumani
  
  Vaazhvae Maayama - Gayathri

  dharmavathy and madhuvanti are one and the same.madhuvanti is hindustani name.beautiful raga
  
  
• From: Vel (@ 202.88.152.159) on: Wed Nov 13 05:09:53 EST 2002
  
  Isairasigan,
  
  Dharmavathy and Madhuvanthi are not same. You may say Madhuvanti is a derivative of Dharmavathy.
  
  Dharmavathi - sampoorna swaras in both the arohanam and avarohanam.[DharmAvathi - | S R2 G2 M2 P D2 N3 S | S N3 D2 P M2 G2 R2 S]
  
  Madhuvanthi - Rishabam and Dhaivatham (ri & dha) are omitted in arohanam and while all the seven notes (of dharmavathy scale) is present in the avarohanam.

  Philosopher:
  The Rosappoo Ravikkaikaari song is 'EnnuLLE engO Engum Geetam' one of Vani Jayaram's best Tamil solos. It's set to Madhuvanti.
  Nanda En nilA is another classic Madhuvanti.
  
  Other examples of Dharmavathy & Gowri Manohari (the former's Ma1 equivalent) combos:
  'Hey AyyAsAmi' (Varusham 16 - IR)
  'kAdhal vAnoli (Album - KR)

  Is 'raaththiri nEraththu poojaiyil' (oomai vizhigaL) also dharmaavathi? The beginning of saraNams in this song and in 'anba sumandhu sumandhu' sound very similar.

  Ennullil song is a classic. This song has come quite ahead of time. Picturisation is also damn good. These kind of songs you can relish for ever.

  Peter Pan:
  
  Thanks for the info. I guess I was wrong about
  Ennulle Engo - still have to learn to identify
  the nuances...
  
  But, what a great song..
  
  
• From: Vel (@ 202.88.152.159) on: Thu Nov 14 05:15:15 EST 2002
  
  :-) MSK, u r welcome.
  
  Doubter - regarding "Raathiri nerathu poojayil", will try and let you know my thought.
  
  Philosopher & Peter Pan - "Ennullil" has MADHUVANTHI phrases. But the base is DHARMAVATHY. To be precise, it is a DHARMAVATHY raga song with detailed lectures on MADHUVANTHI, which is a derivative of former.

  I agree Vem. I have noticed that not all IR albums get reviewed - would really like to have an expert review all albums since the reviews I have read have been very informative.

  What happened to SPMahendran. I haven't seen any of his thread recently. Otherwise he comes up with good links on IR.

  Doubter,
  
  It is indeed DHARMAVATHY, with minor changes here & there to beautify. [Is the music by IR? I think it was Manoj Gyan]
