BGMs & Instrumentals


Last day was listening to some of the splendid background scores of various music composers like Ilayaraaja, ARR, Vidyasagar and even Yanni’s Instrumental


Ilayaraaja BGM: Thevarmagan, Thalapathi, Guna, Mounaraagam, Heyram, Netrikkan, Anajali Title and many more, there were Instrumental albums created by Ilayaraaja like How to name it, nothing but wind and messiah. All these were the classical collections of the Indian Maestro.

A R Rahman: All his tunes has the best sound engineering which none of the Indian composers has, his compositions were with the film or the opening music of a song like poo pookkum osai (opening piano) from Minsara Kanavu, Kamal Haasan & Manisha Koirala Love theme from Indian and many more

Vidayasagar: His music has more of classical touches were he has more imitation of Ilayaraaja, some of his few milestones are Anbe Sivam, also includes his Malayalam compositions,

Yanni: Greek composer and a self learned pianist. Adagio in C Minor, Deliverance, Nightingale, In the mirror, One man’s dream, Love is all are his major contributions to the music industry and has a massive orchestration technique which I have ever seen.

I watched the trailor that was mind blowing, again a mass and an incredible presentation to the world cinema by Shankar. But the songs are not up to the mark, as usual ARR songs gets sweeter by listening continuously four or five times, but in Endhiran we have a slight disappointment wherein the song for SPB was not up to the mark and the Yogi B song also has not got the pep. Among the tracks 2 melodies catches the ARR style of music, with loads of technologies added up.

Even I’m awaiting the Endhiran day
