btw, I am enjyoing Music Journey by Raja. I cant believe this man can take bethoven's music and turn into "Veettukku Veetukku vaasappadi venum" This is truly great to know these. Thats probably why some crappy songs (mostly because of the lyrics) are appreciated well by international audiances (I am talking about Wings)

thats alright I'm not dissapointed

WOW, thanks again DragunR2! I just connected my speakers to my computer and I just listened to Ramana Geetham! I like Naanenum Porul best

This album reminded me to look for Geethanjali, so good news, I found some .mp3s. Will upload them ASAP!!

Currently listening to Ilayaraja's Geethanjali

Ok, here it is...Geethanjali
Amma Janani
Kaamaatchi
Namaste Jagathaathri
Sarvamum Nee

Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I do. If you guys happened to bump into this CD at your local vendors, or when you are in india, PWEASE get me a copy, I'll reimburse you!

I'm going to take them off the server when the 3 of you (there are only 4 of us in this thread, LOL) d/l them, or on Tuesday - whichever comes first PM me after you get them. thanks

Is anyone else having trouble downloading these mp3s?

Thanks, Pav, I finally downloaded them with the help of a download manager. Is that the whole Geetanjali album?

Here are the rest of the Ramana Geetham tracks.

Paraparame
Annamali Ramanaandi- reminds me a little of Chinna Paiyan Oruvan from Guru Ramana Geetham
Thenum Paalum
Inba Irundha Nilai
Aadi Arunachalan
Arunachala Guru

Thank you Guys for those mp3's - wonderfull indeeded.

Thangs DrakunR2!! I'm 100% sure there are more tracks in Geethanjali, but unfortunately thats all I have. It's a CD rip, so I'm sure one of us will manage to find it some how. I just hope the track listing isn't in Tamil ONLY

it sucks to be over run with these parata shops

Currently listening to ONOK. Kaatril Varum is very beautiful. Khajuraho is also cool. I hope Sonu Nigam ousts Udit as the top North Indian singer in Tamil. Sonu's pronunciation, while not perfect, is MUCH better. Udit just plains sucks in most songs.

Kaatril Varum = Pick of the album. Love Hariharan & Shreya voice also.

Khajraho - My next pick. I am switching between this and Kaatril varum. This is lot like Roja Poonthottam from Kannukkul Nilavu (Another Fazil-IR hit)

Konjum Thira- Another beatiful melody. Not the best compared to the two above, but better than any recent melody in tfm.

Ponnukitta Maapilai - This song is going to top the chart for some time. Its a fast peppy number, but ofcourse with IR touch. The song start lot like "Thookku chattiya" bit song from Ejamaan (Rajni steal the food of the farmers and eat and this is the BGM song), but the charanam elevates to a beatiful fast-melody.

Enna Paattu - Good number, but Sonu's pronunciation is not perfect in this.

Elamaiku - Seems ot be a situational number. Need to see with the movie. For now I am using my skip button!

Overall this is a very good album. 3 out of 3 for Raja (MX, AOKK, ONOK).

DragunR2, yes I agree. Sonu is far far better than Uditji, but Udit has a cute voice that will fit fast-peppy numbers, specially suits Madhavan.

dvdisoil - why ONOK - its because the previous Fazil-IR movie themse song starts with Oru Naal Oru Kanavu.

So far 2005 is IR year. He has another dozen to go this year. I hope IR does one more movie with Rajni, MR, BR, KB before he call it quit. Also I wish IR does one movie with Shankar (Shankar sir are you reading this thread!)

No telling who will do the music for the next Rajini film, though I think Mani Ratnam is with ARR for good. Bharathi Raja, who knows. He needs a hit desperately, though. Who is doing the music for Balachander's next? He's currently filming something.

And I think Shankar will go back to ARR after Anniyan.

Rumour is that Rajni changed director from KSR to PVasu (again) or Suresh Krishna because KSR doesnt like IR and Rajni want IR for his next movie.

KB -> Will go with VS or even Deva, but not IR cuz of EGO.

MR -> No ego man. He wouldnt mind going to ARR/IR. Depends on the story line.

Shankar -> Will NOT go to ARR. Most probably will stay with HJ or go to YSR.

BTW I didnt meant to say that IR will do this year, I meant to say that IR should do before he quit scoring music for tamil films. In recent interview asked whats teh difference between TIS and TFM he said, they both are same to him, so if he quit TFM means he quit scoring music, which will happen only when his dream music college get constructed!!!
