I had mentioned Deva and Athish Uthiriyan in context of that Good Morning Tamilnadu, and some others in different threads. I didn't mention Harris recently but he has done hindi films also so I know about him. I heard Sakkarakatti. Not the first tamil album that I heard, some 4-5-6 years ago, I had tried hearing several Tamil/ Telugu albums of ARR but in the days of cassette player, all that rewind/forward, change cassette side was not convenient and it were analog and speakers. Now, on PC, non-stop with a microphone and digital audio, Marudhani did the trick. It is one of the best songs of ARR and I am in love with it. I translated lyrics to hindi (from english) and that gave me some idea of what they are saying and Elay is great lyrics wise. Taxi Taxi has catchy beats, Miss u da is seductive. Good album. I still think if Marudhani had not been in it, I might not have listened to this album so much, but sometimes I heard only marudhani non-stop, but sometimes I ended up hearing to all - due to wrong button pressed :-) and the songs showed their beauty. And then, several members mentioned Marudhani genre of songs and I heard to Mayilirege, Munbe va, Sahana/ Sahara, Alle Alle, Yedo yedo, anarkali, and some more. These were good, but odd that Marudhani is far better even to Mayilirege, Munbe va, Sahana/ Sahara. Probably that is the pain one has to go through when he chances upon the best song early. I am hearing other albums also one by one. Major dissappoints are the ones like Alli Arjuna which had reused songs from many hindi albums, but it is ok. Vairamuthu issue still remains unresolved. Not understanding Tamil, I wouldn't be able to appreciate his poetry, and if it comes to english hindi translations, I have already heard Latka Jhatka, aurat bhi na chhodoonga, telephone dhun and such shabby translations. Having waited for new ARR releases for months and years so many times in last 16-18 years, hearing to tamil ones suddenly presented a lot of ARR songs which were unheard for me till now. So a treasure is with me and I am enjoying that. -- V ------------------------------------ Are you searching for a reason, to be kind? <b> Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
