I want to place another platform like the thread for Perfect Melodies to present superb Indian film songs and unknown composers most of us may have missed. If we open our minds we can find many unconventional yet extraordinary musical approaches. The magic of Indian film songs is not really in the pallavi or the rhythm or orchestration but it is all in the way the stanzas come out. That is where the "beauty of the genius" of the composer really is. (Let me tell you now, no one like Sam Joseph or Shyam in the stanzas!!)

I like two young composers who are way ahead for their age and the current musical scene, I think. You can get a sense of the benchmark I am employing:

Joshua Sridhar - "June July" Kalloori

Bennett Veeratag - "Puthu Manjupol" Dr. Patient

http://devaragam.com/vbscript/MusicN...x?MovieId=2121

and, also an old Hindi song

R D Burman "Liyo Na Babu Tani" - Kahte Hein Mujko Raja

& world music,

The Shins - "Sea Legs"

Just wait, I found some amazing ones and will look for more.
