Plumji,

I understand the feeling of IR fans. But my problem was with another line of Teja's. Let's leave it here,mate. No issues whatsoever.

I feel there is yuvan's hand in the making of "pengaL endrAl". Very much like a Yuvan song with rock flavor

Common to deduce that way but the rhythm of the electric guitar and the subtle orchestration is sincerely thalaivar's. Most of yuvan's rock-styled songs are too close to popular rock bands with no distinguishable style and usually alienate the main melody. Besides thalaivar has experimented with rock in yaari gagi of bhajari bete, sing swing of moodupani and many pre-85 songs.Some of the movie club,disco and item numbers of that era that thalaivar composed had rock influences.

I am hearing Pengal Endral again and again and it just shows the true greatness of raja
I read once when semmangudi said raja knows the essence of raagas like nobody else..
And the way he has understood the metallic genre is incredible..(in hindsight he is the king of indian death metal..nan kadavul, thandavakone )

The drum patterns and guitars are on the mark for metal and he has cleverly reduced the intensity as people not used to it will feel too noisy..
Even the ending wind sound is so metallic
The drum/guitar pattern when yuvan sings "madhi ketta" reminds me of one of my favourite radiohead song

Its incredible that a a guy around 70 does this...

What Raja can do in a couple of minutes [composing tunes and writing scores] might take ARR weeks or more. So no comparisons there.

Let us take credits at the face value.

Since when did writing music become a race I'm still not 100% about the face value notion. What seems so simple at first, ends up being so complex that unearthing becomes endless. However, are we here to enjoy or unearth? Both Raaja Saab and Rahman Ji always have enough scope in their material that enjoying and unearthing are equally satisfying. The bottom line is that, a Gold status of a song is achieved by the layers of a composition and IMO this sometimes contributes more importantly than the mainstay melody. Melody is "anything" and layering is "everything"!

Knowing the sad person I am, I had to go look up in the dictionary

Anything

any thing whatever : any such thing

Everything

all that exists; all that relates to the subject

Many songs have overlapping melodies e.g. raagams but it is the ambiance and additional instrumentation that gives a song its true UNIQUENESS

Sorry for getting carried away

What?????

So you mean to say a melody cannot be without layering
You cannot dissect music like that...everything is part of parcel of the whole..there are 1000s of great songs without any complex layering..

I think that is the perfect music..when it is whole..when you cannot dissect..when you cannot touch a note
and that is why i guess Raja does it instantly rather than taking weeks and months of trying permutations and combinations...
It is not to boast that he can do a song in a day where others take weeks and months..
He wants music to happen rather than created..

That is why he has so many songs where we feel this cant be raja as it is bad...(music just didnt happen)
Whereas others can give catchy songs after catchy songs because they always create and play all combinations and make sure it is decent enough

But the flip side is when "music happens" for raja it is timeless
music like rasave unna nambi or thumbi vaa

.. u cannot touch it..improvise it..or change it..
Music just happens and freezes
