very nice review buddy...ON initial hearing i dint like valayapetti and ella
puhalum...
but i saw many people rating ella puhalum as the chartbuster one ...i am not
able to digest it as the opening song of vijay after the "aadungada" song ..
(Taste differs)...Of course it sounds different and may be a different
opening for vijay...
but now i m very much into the valayapatti song ..it is th toughest and most
beautiful composition, i wud say....
but do anybody note that the "madhurai" song sound similar to "mathadu
malligai" from arunachalam...only at the end of the charanam..
also 'Kelaamal' song has some touches of "aagaya vennilave",an ilayaraja
song...
not much but when i hear these two songs every time it reminds those 2 songs
...
But ARR has done RICH AND DIFFICULT COMPOSITIONS VERY EASILY IN THIS ALBUM..
I M PROUD TO BUY THIS "KETTAVARELLAM PADUM" ALBUM ON THE FIRST DAY ITSELF...
