This music album deserves for a thesis w.r.to the rhythm arrangement. Unfortunately, I am under-appreciated to write-in vividly about them. Still, below is just a synopsis of its songs.
Kunnathe Konnaykum {in tamil - Kundrathu} is based on 4/4 beat cycle. It’s pallavi has programmed percussion. Its contour of orchestra heavily reminds the song – Sempoovae Sempoovae. Similarly, the first line has the color of the song - Hele Kogile Impagala - Nammoora Mandara Hoove {Nenjathin geetham – Kangalin vaarthaigal}, may be both the songs are based on Suddha dhanyasi {Ain’t sure about it}. Usage of Sarangi steals the melody.
Aadiushassandhya Poothathivide {Aadhi mudhal} is based on 4/4 beat cycle. It has heavy usage of Bass drums throughout the song & embellishment of subsidiary percussion instruments alike Castanets, Cabasa/Shakers & triangle. Wagnerian style of brass arrangement steals its melody.
Ambum Kombum Komban Kattum {Ambum Kobum} sounds alike based on triple beat rhythm, which may be 6/8 beat cycle. It has poly-rhythm structure with Djembes & baton {drum sticks}. Saranams have well-structured Bass drums & Cabasa/Shakers.
Odathandil Thalam Kottum Kattil {Moongil Thannil thaalam} is based on 4/4 beat cycle. It has programmed rhythm & the entire song sounds much of contemporary r & b {rhythm & blues} song. 2nd interlude has been initiated with Djembes & shakers, later once the guitar strumming starts, raw synth rhythm joins along with Pan Flute to make tribal ambience.
Such a haunting album with lively Ryhthm arrangement!

All the world's a stage!
Ithu yeppadi irukku - 1978
Story: The core of its story should have been adopted from the Sujatha’s Anitha Ilam Manaivi. However, credit for this script was given to Panju Arunchalam.
*ing: Jaishankar, Sridevi, Y.Vijaya, Y.G.Mahendran, Sarathbabu and et al.,
Story goes alike this: Y.G.Mahendran and his lady love happened to see the cadaver of Y.Vijaya’s husband.
Jaishankar & Sridevi come into scene for further investigation of this execution. Many undisclosed truths like Y.Vijaya’s affair with Sarathbabu and et al., were discovered.
The executioner and the reason for execution were revealed at climax.
Talking about the BGM and songs, Raaja sir’s fear-provoking reverberation with heavy orchestra has enhanced the eeriness to the script.
Songs Kai Regai and Dhinam Dhinam were given less consideration when compared to Engum Niraintha. My pick of its music album is Dhinam Dhinam by P. Susheela.
Dhinam Dhinam:
To my belief, this composition makes an apprehension ambience, unwarrantedly. I was really moved by the mystical or frightening frame of mind induced by its core melody. My musical voyage into this composition reached to a great altitude, however, unto now, I was not able to recognize, what made me to be trepidation with respect to this composition.
Melodic Organ's mere piece originates this song and classical guitar replicates its lead melody with organ accompaniment. A brass, accordion with snares brings back the retro epoch in front of us. 1st and 2nd interlude have array of menacing violin, ascending & descending tenor of flute, wavering bassoon {in 1st interlude alone} continue to frighten me. Saranams have Indian rhythm of Tabla complement.
Nevertheless, it is being offered me a whimsical experience of its every listening!
