Songs which travels different genres

I am going to list some 3 songs which travels different genres within the 5 min seemlessly and makes the listening very very interesting...

1. Siriya Paravai from Andha Oru Nimidam; Music By Ilayaraja
URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_KFfFVDRuE

What a beautiful lyrics by Vairamuthu in this song... & dont miss SPB's laugh. So addictive.

2. Ooh La La La from Minsara Kanavu; Music By A R Rahman
URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHnwbugWG7g

I believe that Vairamuthu did not liked the idea of the Oh lalala song and both Rahman and Rajeev Menon went to the poet's home to convince him.

3. Buck Buck Buck Maada Pura from Paarthiban Kanavu; Music by Vidyasagar
URL : http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/moviedetail.asp?mid=T0000482

Vidyasagar started with B & W period music for this song and moved to modern music. Good work and different singing pattern made this attempt fruitful.

By the way, let me know if there is any similar attempt by any other musicians.

Good tamil tracks - sep, oct 09

Some eight audio releases from the recent past made my music listening little difficult. Here I go with best of tracks from those:

1) Apple Laptop by Shankar Mahadevan, Chinmayi from jaggubhai - Fine ballad, starts off typically but gets addictive on multiple listens. Music by Rafi (man who supported Rahman for Signore song)

2) Thoothukudi Raanida by Renaina from Vettattam - Fine lyrics in this typical folk, koothu song

3) Kadhal Vandhe by Swetha from Vettattam - Lovely tune, what a robust drumming. wonderful. Brief song.

4) Kangal pesum by Swetha, Karthik from Vettattam - soft melody, duet, classical music based.

Vettattam music composed by Sree Sai V. Looks like a village based movie. But quality of music is very decent. Sree Sai has also done 1-2 telugu movies.

5) Kanakkalin by Shankar Mahadevan from Yen Ippadi Mayakkinaai - soft rock and portrays the hero on high ground. nice tune.

6) yennevo seidhaai by Shreya Ghosal, Kailash Kher from Yen Ippadi Mayakkinaai - soft melody with hindustani fusion

7) dravida parise by benny dayal, rohit fernandes from Yen Ippadi Mayakkinaai - timepass song with some weird lyrics

Yen Ippadi Mayakkinaai music is composed by Sathya. I am unable to find more about him.

8) Thallakulam by Silambarasan from Renigunda - typical mass hero song with robust beats, nicely sung by Simbu.

9) Vizhigalile by Bombay Jayashree from Renigunda - typical slow melody but neat tune

10) Gandharvanil kottai by - attractive item song with good use of music arrangement

11) Mazhai peyyum podhum by Harish Ragavendra from Renigunda - lovely love ballad, melody. sinks in very easily.

Renigunda music is composed by Ganesh Raghavendran, great grandson of Veenai S Balachander. Very promosing beginning for him.

13) Naalu Suvarum by Benny Dayal, Rahum Nambiar, Timmy - An heavy duty techno track, highly attractive tune, lyrics. Pallavi lyrics of lyricist Karki will bring smile on your face for sure.

14) Vaanam Puthidhu by Vijay Yesudas - nicely sung, soothing melody. simple and elegant lyrics makes this song

15) Kaadhal by Sujatha - another melody, with smooth flow.

Ilamai Idho Idho music is composed by Vidyasagar. His melodies have remained interesting so far, and he delivers vaanam song with absolute control and love. Excellent melody from him once again.

That leaves me with Vettaikaaran, Yogi music. Vettaikaaran music is typical of masala movies. Yogi is flattering to deceive, i thought the music was good in the first listen, but when i repeated, i started disliking it. Yogi theme music in saarangi is good, rest can be ignored.

Two tracks Kaadu kalai katta, yera thaazha yezhi mani from Peranmai are decent. Rest can be ignored.

Leelai - Music Review

Movie Name: Leelai
Music By: Satish Chakravarthy
Overall Rating: Very Good

Leelai Music Review

1) Bubble Gum By Benny dayal, Sunitha sarathy, Suvi & Leon James - 3.5/5, Techno track with attractive beats, with loads of english words

2) Jillendru oru kalavaram By Satish Chakravarthy - 4/5, simple techno melody, catchy lyrics, watch out for the beat change in 2nd stanza, superb song with active chorus throughout makes this song very interesting

3) Oru Kili Oru Kili By Shreya Ghosal,Satish Chakravarthy - 4/5 - Typical raja days music arrangement melody, nice tune, nicely sung. Usage of Tabla adds flavour to this song. Second stanza music makes you feel that the director has got some cue to take the story forward.

4) Oru Kili Oru Kili By Satish Chakravarthy - 3.5/5 - typical slow song of the happy song with piano, violin playing in the background

5) Pon Maalai By Benny Dayal - 5/5 - techno track, energetic catchy tune, lyrics majorly flattering girl all through. Benny fits the bill with ease

6) Unnai Paartha Pinbu - 3.5/5 - Nostalgic song, arabic flavour elevates the otherwise a dull tune. Haricharan carries the song very well.

This debut album of Satish Chakravarthy makes you to sit up and notice who is behind the music. Very good effort.

Impact of per second billing to Indian Telecom Industry

My own analysis on Tata Docomo's per second billing impact on indian telecom industry detailed below:

Background: Tata Docomo launched per second billing across country and it is proving to be a hit. This resulted in rate war and RCOM followed it up with 50p billing last week. Bharti, IDEA and vodafone are yet to react to it.

What does this mean to consumers: India is filled with pre paid customers like 80:20 ration to postpaid. People are price sensitive and can easily shift loyalties.

What does this mean to Industry: ARPUs are stagnating for the past 18 months and is around Rs.230-270 range. This could crash to 140-180 range if everyone follows suit on pricing.

What does this mean to vendors: Call center handles Rs.10 per call for telecom industry. Telecom players might ask the vendors to cut the price to Rs.2 to Rs.4 and can result in movement of call centers from metros to tier II cities.

IVR usage penetration might be made more user friendly. Managed services players will feel the heat as telecom majors might ask the vendors to handle calls at as low as 6paise to 11 paise.

Fresh capital expenditure will be put on hold and can impact switch players like CISCO, Avaya and vendors like Firstsource, Onmobile.

What does this mean to Employees: 12plus year experienced people segment was majorly active in telecom, realty, engineering. This segment is expected to feel the heat and salary cuts might happen shortly.

What does this mean to investors: Avoid telecom stocks until industry stabilises. Watch only ARPU as data point and not subscriber base.

Over all industry outlook: 2010 / 2011 will witness the character test of the industry. Some 3-4 Niche players might get wiped out and strong players would emerge as winners from the first ever major challenge of indian telecom industry.
