He's not going to work on any non-filmi albums unless some big music company produces it (highly unlikely at this point of time). Per recent interview of IR to The Hindu, onething is very clear.

(And why Ambrose bouncers to tailenders only? The bouncers were good for some top line batsman as well, especially from our place :D ) Both regarding the western classical chord placement and him identifying with the picturization immediately!! 'edeya bagilu' - classic smooth jazz was his verdictĪnd as a bonus he listened to 'kannukkulley' title track - and told me that 'this guy (IR)' is quite a serious composer rooted in classical mold! there were bits of the theme which he replayed at least thrice and told me 'thats a weird glissando, something you wudnt find in western classical, but interesting how such a glissando gets linked with the western classical part'Īs Vignesh pointed out in his article 'IR is indeed an island working in the Indian music scene'! I managed to play to 'adhi ushas' (PR) and 'edaya bagilu' to my symphony orchestra player neighbors (husband oboe player & wife flutist)ġ.'adhi ushas': the entire song is structured along the lines of western/european classical music, especially the chords - the chords placement/structure is critical for giving such a feel, other things follow this - such a trick is employed by rock-pop musicians/bands to give the nice rich feel - but the song melody itself is very oriental in feel - and i was zapped when he asked me "is the song about a group walking through the woods or something like that ?" - he doesnt know a single word in malayalam! thats the magic of IR - there are some other technical explanations he gave which were way too theoretical and went over my head (a la curtley ambrose bouncer to some tailender in the 1990s!)Ģ. Overall an album which the followers and believers will find to be a soothing one. Two songs are sung by Sriram Parthasarathy and in one song Bhava accompanies Raja. There is a folk type song as well which is structured as if it is a conversation between two singers. Raja has also reworked on the 'Maa Ganga' song giving it a more carnatic feel. V Dakshinamurthy has tuned Raja's lyrics in Vasantha ragam. One Karaharapriya song, almost structured like a carnatic krithi, appears in this album.

It starts with a very nice song based on Bageshri ragam. So I will give you an idea of what the album contains. This being a bhakthi album it doesn't make sense to 'review' it in the usual manner. Another song is set to the Papanasam Sivan tune 'Eppadi Padinaro Adiyar' and Papanasam Sivan is credited as the music director. One Telugu song, written by Raja, is tuned by his guru, V Dakshinamurthy Swami. There are 10 songs in this CD of which 8 are tuned by Raja. He photo does not appear in the front or the back cover.

The cover has only Ramana Maharishi's photo and you need to look carefully to see Illayaraja's name on the CD.

Seems that the album is available only in Ramanashram. Got the 'Ramana Saranam Saranam' album from Tiruvannamalai through a friend of mine.
