Blogswara 3

For those of you who don't know - Blogswara is a collaborative effort by music enthusiasts from all over the world (who've known each other only through the world of blogs) to create an online album. March 25th marked the release of the 3rd album.
My favourite songs in no particular order are:

Vasantham - I don't understand Malayalam, but I do understand the language of music and "this" is a beautiful creation.
Anil has done a fantastic job with the tune composition and orchestration. The instruments used, various accompaniments especially the strumming of the Sitar (if that's what its called) is just too good.
The lyrics by Sreeja nicely fit the tune and bring out the feel of the song.
Murali's done a fabulous job with the vocals. The voice modulation, the stress on a few specific words - the gamakams, the variations... are all sung beautifully.
The tune creates a feeling of such tranquility.

Azhage - This is a peppy romantic number. The factors adding to making this song a success are the amazing vocals, the lively tune, the perfect combination of instruments especially the flute pieces.
I love the interlude. It has the perfect combination of vocals, a flute section played along with keyboard... its just wonderful. The mixing/orchestration add on to make the song what it is...
The facts given about this composition just make you go 'wow-that's cool'.

Lal Subah - I loved the instruments in this song especially the bass and the drums. The vocals just blend into the mixture superbly. The music brings out the feeling of desperation... about loneliness, the wait... The mixing is so well done that it makes you listen to the song again and again!

Listen to the songs and enjoy :)
