Aadukalam- G.V.Prakash Kumar


Some two weeks ago i picked up the audio CD of Aadukalam from the shelves of a music shop never knowing that it would hook on to me so much.... When i first heard the album ... WOWIE, many reviewers held average ratings for this album(surprising). For me, this is Pudhupettai of G.V.Prakash Kumar... Not to compare the two soundtracks, but this is the best G.V has ever come out with... His usage of instruments like Oud, Bouzouki and most importantly my fav. Glocken Spiel in the song "Yathi Yathi" , the first and best track of the album shows the level of experimentation G.V has done in this album.... "Otha Sollale" has a very , very addictive set of beats and so is the vocal carried in a rhythmic fashion by Velmurugan of "Orunimisham" fame from KPKP.... " Porkkalam- Tamil Rap" is a very interesting track given the harsh and dark voice of YogiB who carries this song so powerfully, also kudos to the lyricist Yugabharathi for bringing in some inspiring lyrics... The "Warriors- English Rap" is a reprise of the tamil version.... SPB and SPC do an amazing job in "Ayyayyo".. Hats off to the composer for using the father- son duo so effectively... "A Love Blossoms" is beautifully carried by Navin Iyer and supported by some rocking beats in the background.... For me, Aadukalam is Two Big Thumbs Up...
