Mudhalvar Mahatma - A scintillating soundtrack !!
Frankly speaking , i didnt expect too much from this album and yes i was made to eat humble pie. Its just such a fabulous album. I know many of you are tremendouly excited about the soundtrack of Neethana Endhan Pin Vasantham but please let it not deter you in missing out on a class album like Mudhalvar Mahatma.
A small take on the songs
1) Gandhi Indru - This is based in Dharmavathi raga and instantly takes you to the olden day glory days of Raaja . It evoked sentiments similar to the immortal "Engullil Engo" from Rosappoo Ravikaikari.
2) Iraivane Varam Kettu - This is such a lilting composition and gives you such a soothing pleasant feel. Lovely rendition by Sriram P with a little Hindustani touch. The flute sounds like how it does in all his glory compositions and the keys and violins in the interludes just elevates the composition to an alltogether high. A small Graha Bedham touch (i think) at the end of the Charanam. My gawd - what a stunner
3) Nammadhu Desa - Its such an awe inspiring song , just no 2 words about it , the finishing touch is just spectacular.
4) Nam Vannai - Another winner , i just loved those voice overlay at the end of the lines and beautiful harmony backing.
5) Indru Thodangum - Starts off little like the Billa Theme and goes in its own direction and gives such a hard hitting impact. Notice the sudden wonderful scale change which appears from nowhere
6) Om Shantihi Shantihi - Reverbrating
7) Iraivan Alurile - Another really nice feel good song , i just loved the instrumentation at the start of the song which is so sweet.
6 of the songs span a duration of less than 2 mins but all of them have a speciality of their own. Ephemeral yet everlasting.
Overall an extremely satisfying musical experience with lovely orchestration , Dont miss this one.
