Ilayaraaja at his Rustic best - Thiruvaasagam....

Kiss the Laptop vendor who delivered my laptop today...that meant i cud access the lan and swindle all kinds of good music...my music db grew boundlessly in 3 hours and among stuff i lapped up hungrily in my lappie were thiruvaasagam, a aa and rising....the latter two dint get the keypad click...(no mouse yet)....thiruvaasagam was mindblowing...riveting,..inspiring....tear inducing, it took me into a realm of bhakti...yet was so mellifluous and brilliantly simple.....reach is raaja's forte...and reach he did...he touched the deepest chords in my inside and something was so simple yet divine in the music....pooerukanum purandharanum...by bavadhaarini and raaja is my favourite....balumahendra's movie style song...yet a bhakti rasa filled song...thats raaja for you...a close second is "putril vaazharamum anjen" brilliantly orchestrated and rendered by raaja..."ammanaam anjum aare" that line takes the cake.......
guys zikr is no longer where the search for divine music ends....raaja has some answers....
Brilliant.....Tamil Nadu is freakin fortunate to have 2 gods composing magical songs on 2 gods....

well the music of THIRUVAASAKAM sounds incomplete without visuals.....unlike NOTHING BUT WIND , HOW TO NAME IT.......the music is depending on visuals for its better identity
