Hi,

Great !!! So how long did it take to get it delivered ?
Last weekend, I was on a visit to my friend's place near Chennai and I heard the song - "Mugilo Megamo" being played. After that, I become very much eager to get hold of that CD.
Hi all,

Dear IR fans,
Yesterday, I went through all the posts of this thread and the objective was to get very good/high quality sound tracks. After seeing all those posts, I am very much eager and restless to source such good recorded materials of IR music. I currently own mp3 files and I want to switch over to CDs or any lossless formats (FLAC/WAV). Few posts have pointed to AGI music in getting good CDs and I am confused if they are really good to hear or if they can provide audiophile quality. Vinyl records are ruled out for me as I don't have a TT and I also heard about the availability of those records.
I am also open for getting loseless formats. Are there any shops or any other place from where I can get them ?. I am even ready to visit Chennai if they are any shops which can record and give me those high quality formats. If it is not possible to get those lossless formats, please help me in listing the best sounding CDs from AGI music.
Thanks

True IR fan.:thumbup:
Thanks !!!
I am just a fan, but I believe there are few who are not only his fans, but they are also emotionally dependent on his music. I know a guy who lost his mother when he was a school kid and he became emotionally dependent on IR's music. Whenever he feels that he is missing his mother, he turns towards IR music. When some one says that IR music is the substitute for his/her lost dear ones, what else one can say about IR's music ??? Nothing .... No amount of praises can do justice ... Just enjoy the absolute bliss and nothing more than that ... Salute to the great composer !!!
Hi Shanmune,
I was also on a similar quest a couple of years back. It is really very hard to get the audio CDs for Raja. Not just Raja for that matter even Rahman also is difficult. Thanks to Piracy and MP3. I did buy a few random CDs but if you look at the quality of them they sounded very similar to 320 Kbps MP3s or even worse. The CDs I bought in 90s sounded very different & superior to the ones out there on the market. Not sure whether the audio companies are converting MP3 back to Audio CDs(just captilazing on music lovers) or was the recording quality very mediocre at that time.
Same thing happened to Moser Baer Videos, they launched the DVDs for Tamil films, a few were converted from VHS tape! I can see the scrolling tape damage in those videos.
After that I lost the interest to procure pure music. Most of the forum members are listening in Vinyl, which is nearly impossible to for me to own/maintain.

Thalapathi was one of the best recordings at that time and I can still recollect listening to that on cassette which was great. But on every other format that I heard later mp3, cd, dvd...the magic went missing
Thanks !!!

Very true. Every IR song or the background music of a movie , that I like , transport me into the past.
Every memory of happiness and sorrow is remembered and automatically attached to some tune of IR.
It is not music. It is the undertone of life itself.
Hi Shanmune,
It is difficult to get best sounding Audio CDs of Raja. What 'cbeshyam' expresses is correct. And so, I started to enjoy mp3 @ 320kbps collections of Raja's which i got.
Recently me & matbhuvi tried some honeybeemusic recordings Cds and those also not in audiophile grade.
AGI music releases lots of Raja's Movie Audio Cds in Malaysia. I dont know its availability in India except few on flipkart, 600028. etc.,
ADITYA music also releases some collections. I heard some mp3 cds which are ok and not tried their Audio CDs.
Anyone else disappointed with Raja's choice of Yuvan's voice in Megha? Even though Anitha's voice is good in Putham Puthu kalai song, i do miss Janaki's voice. That's a big shoe to fill. I feel too big for Anitha. But, the song goes beyond that and feels so fresh. Thanks to Raja's brilliant orchestra
I will echo your thoughts, it sounds great. I would love if Raja himself redoes his hit songs and release.
I am still wondering why Bharathiraja choose not to shoot this song.
I too would like to get good quality recordings, but many are available only as mp3s. I got quite a few records from hdtracks and they are great. I think the record companies are missing a business trick here, by not offering HQ downloads for purchase, as not many people use CD players and most people have moved to digital playback.
Msg me ur contact no., I have some tamil records
Buy from India's official online dealer!
