specify which track is redone and also post the title of the tamil version?
, this type of song doesnt come along often, I mean it's supposed to be sung by the tribals who help Pazhassi Raja Kerala Varma in his fight against the British in the movie.
and if it heard in a good system ( You definitely need a tower speakers to appreciate the low bass) the songs are spectacular. Illayaraja has added many small instrumentation in the middle of the songs which I think cant be heard with any other Musicians. The Last song in the CD Aalammadamkala --In this song he uses various type of drums and this is quite a treat to hear in my New Quad22l2 speakers. In the song No.5 Odathandil there are many small sounds from birds and this mixes with the music very well and pleasant to hear , Not to say about the songs Kunnathae ( Chitra has done it again) and Aadhiyushassandhya ( which is a super hit song in this film) and Ambum kombum ( The Voice of Manjari and Illayaraja mixes very well) . I have not seen the film so cant comment about the BG. But the Music in this film is the best i have heard in recent times and a sure collections for every music lovers.
