I was listening to Raaga IR's non stop channel and today surprisingly all songs followed same patter. All songs starts with a heavy western interlude followed by charanam and pallavi, but still using western instruments, and the second interlude transitioned to semi classical and the second pallavi completely in semi classical. It is a treat (e.g. Siriya paravai from andha orunimidam)

Heh, here's the reply to the two samples I posted at TFMpage

Chidamabarathil Oru Appasamy songs

Nalla Vaazhvu and Ponnaa Porandhaa are good. The rest leave me cold.

Last song with Febi is also good and peppy.Saw the trailor yesterday and this movie is a definite winner. Its a laugh riot. Song did perfectly well for the movie. Dont knwo why TB prefer to shoot in the dark though!

So did the CD release ?

not yet. Will keep you informed. Most probably will come with another movie.

COA is apparently a remake of a Malayalam film, Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala. Anyone seen it?

Hey its there now.

Marana Mrudangam is there. 1988.

Yep. It was a good funny movie.

What is the availability of the following types of IR albums on CD:

1) Tamil film soundtracks released by companies other than Echo/OR (AVM, Pyramid/RPG, Lahari, etc.) aside from releases from the last 5 or 6 years?

2) Film soundtracks in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi

Also, does OR have any plans to release more albums on CD?
