  All I know is that in an interview ARR said that this year will have the highest number of releases from him. So I guess we shouldn't be surprised if a few albums came out this year. I think about half of the stuff/albums, he has been working on for since 1997. So I think they will be good. Let's hope so.

  Hi,
  It is nice to be a spectator, I used to be a player in ARR-XI, Now being traded to MSV-XI..
  Keep it up, just one remainder - the topic is ARR's new albums - I am beinging to think is this thread really required for a person whoe does just 2 or 3(over time) album a year.

  Here's some real news about ARR, from Tamil Thirai Velai, I've done a Control C/V for you guys.....
  
  (A.R.R. News and more!)
  
  1998 was the year of "Too Much"s... Well, 1999 is definitely the year of "Walks in
  the Clouds." It appears that Pooveli was not the only film based on the famous
  Keanu Reeves Hollywood flick, "A Walk in the Clouds." A vayaru aerinj-ing
  Vasanth is also making an Indianized remake of the film with Arjun and Meena
  titled "Rhythm." Paavam Vasanth, he was supposed to have started filming
  "Rhythm," quite a few months before Selva even entered the picture. It appears that
  Selva did have more "Aasai" to shoot AWITC and release it before Vasanth.
  Interestingly, unlike Pyramid Natarajan's other production, "Udhaya," "Rhythm" has
  been kept away from the limelight as much as possible. Very little press lately!
  A.R.Rahman, after a big floppity flop in "Love Birds," is finally decided to compose
  for Pyramid Natarajan's productions with the exception of "Ponn Vizhaa" (Another
  low budget film struggling to hit theaters since last year!)
  
  The village tunes are back or so it appears! As A.R.Rahman composes a
  whopping ten tunes for Bharathiraja's "Taj Mahal." Currently, the entire cassette
  rights community in Kodambakkam is fighting cut-throat competition to gain music
  rights to the film. But the BIGGEST NEWS isn't that actually!. It appears that
  "Maanikkam" and "Aravindhan" might have a sizeable voice in the making of the
  album. Karthik Raja (one who has never heard ARR's Roja) and Yuvan Shankar
  Raja (who has been repeatedly praised by ARR as one who shows a lot of
  promise) may be tranformed into playback singers for "Taj Mahal." If you have
  opened your mouth in awe, you are not the only one!.. Surely, Kodambakkam is
  also wondering: "Whatever happened to the rift between Bharathiraja and
  Ilaiyaraja? Whatever brought about this change?" When the album releases, we will
  hopefully all know.
  
  On other "Taj Mahal" matters, Manoj and Riya Sen play village characters, Mayan
  and Machchakkani. Several of Bharathiraja's introductions have decided to be
  faithful to gurunaadhar and are making their presence felt in the film, including
  Revathi, Ranjitha and Manivannan. What's more, even Bharathiraja might show his
  face in a frame or two. With a strong message always a part of the main story line,
  this time around, Bharathiraja has decided to mix caste and religious riots as a
  background to this charming love story. (Should we start counting the dead at the
  end of this one? ;-) On a side note, for some strange reason, everyone talks about
  Maniratnam, Madhu Ambat, A.R.Rahman and Vairamuthu as being associated
  with the film, aanal Rajeev Menon peyir-ai kannOm!.. Obviously the story was
  changed from a city to a rural setting... Adhodu Rajeev kaanamal poi vittaarO?!
  
  Speaking of Rajeev Menon, he has not completely disappeared from
  Kodambakkam all together. He is polishing the script for his second directorial
  venture with Prabhudeva in the lead. Menon, who projects this film as a very
  serious one has already decided to employ his good friend, A.R.Rahman as the
  music director. On a minute digression, Prabhudeva who had purposely
  disappeared from tamil cinema after "Kaadhala Kaadhalaa," had a rotten
  experience in Andhra with almost all of his Telegu films plummeting at the box
  office. Having returned to his senses, he has returned to Kodambakkam a changed
  man!.. His two big films, "Ninaivirukkum Varai," (with Keerthi Reddy and directed
  by K. Subash) expected for a republic day release and "Time" have somewhat
  rejuvenated the hope that he lost last year. The KAADHALAN of tamil cinema
  returns!
  
  Once an "uLLaththai aLLiya" heroine, now Rambha finds herself doing "single
  dance" guest roles in films. She proudly says that it was a favor to Director Kadhir
  for having introduced her in "Uzhavan," that she agreed to dance for one song in
  "Kaadhalar Dhinam," the aamai vega production by Director Kadhir. Whatever the
  market nilamai may be, poor Rambha is in a pitiable situation with only
  "Endrendrum Kaadhal" still slated for release. On the issues surrounding
  "Kaadhalar Dhinam," is a very upset and furious Sonali Bendre who cannot seem
  to understand what is taking Kadhir so long to finish the film. When asked about
  the film, she begins to describe the beauty of her role and how much it bothers her
  that Kadhir is so slow in releasing the film. Yugendran (son of playback
  singer/actor Malaysia Vasudevan) is actually happy with the film, but for other
  reasons. He makes his debut as a full fledged playback singer under A.R.Rahman's
  music direction in the film. Probably the only person smiling about "Kaadhalar
  Dhinam," today. Sad.. considering it was also tremendously hyped like "Taj
  Mahal," with names like A.M.Ratnam (producer of "Indhiyan"), P.C.Sreeram,
  Kadhir, A.R.Rahman, Vairamuthu etc.. So much for all that!..
  
  Rockin' '99! or atleast Dubai was rocking with A.R.Rahman's music blaring to
  welcome 1999. With probably the best ensemble of singers and dancers (totalling
  90), A.R.Rahman performed in a live concert in Dubai to a crowd of 45,000
  bubbly and jolly fans.. rockin' them into '99. S.P.Balasubramaniam, Hariharan,
  Sukwindhar Singh, Udith Narayan, Unnikrishnan, Chitra, Kavitha Krishnamurthy,
  Sujatha, Sadhana Sargam, Subha and Anupama and 35 dancers were present to
  showcase the glittering concert, which was a celebration on the occassion of the
  U.A.E's 27th Independence Day. Dubai Talkies, in collaboration with Real
  Entertainment sponsored the show, as Javed Jaffery played host for the night. The
  fans danced for "Musthafa Musthafa" by turning on their cigarette lighters (similar to
  the candle effect in "Kaadhal Desam.") They also danced in similar fashion to the
  Hindi number, "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from "Dil Se". A.R.Rahman's concert was the
  highlight of not only Dubai's National News broadcasts, but also, the magazines
  and newspapers hitting the stands. The 4 hour concert, only the second since his
  concert in Malaysia in '97, was one that would definitely stay in the minds of
  Dubai-ites for many years to come!...
  
  Poojai notes!.. Jayasubshri Productions' new film, "PeriyaNNa" held its poojai
  recently with Vijayakanth, Surya, A.L.Azhagappan, Director S.A.Chandrasekaran,
  Ibrahim Rauthar and many others gracing the occassion. Similarly, Super Good
  Films' R.B.Choudhri held a simple poojai for his next production, "Kaamaraasu"
  with debutant director Anbazhagan and S.A.Rajkumar. On the awards front, the
  FANTA Awards were given to Actors Saratkumar, Parthiban, Actresses Roja,
  Suvalakshmi, Devayani, Director K.S. Ravikumar, Lyricist Vairamuthu and
  A.R.Rahman. Journalists, "Cinema Express" Ramamurthy, "New Filmalaya" M. G.
  Vallaban, and Film News Anandhan were honored with FANTA awards on
  January 1st, 1999 for their accomplishments in 1998. Additionally, Glamour
  Krishnamurthy, Manorama, K.R.G., Kalaipuli Thanu, Chintamani Murugesan and
  M. Saravanan also received special awards for their contributions to Tamil Cinema
  over the years.

  her long time cinematographer friend." My sources: Cinema Express, Anandha

  Oh Maria, Maria

  Bought ESK in madras in the first day, it was relelased. Usually ARR albums need 2 or more hearings to appreciate, not this one. Both the songs theendathe, and thirakaddha pookal are very good. Chitra is too good in both the songs. There are two dance nos, which are just passable. EN swasa kattre is different but very slow song.
  Overall worth to buy just for the 2 songs.
  Im happy that all the last 3 ARR albums ( jeans, uyire and ESK) are distinctly different, but still hugely enjoyable.
  Awaiting eagrly for his next one, ( kadhalr dhinam)
