Do you like Remix fil songs ?

Hullo !

There is so much remix craze these days. Many old film songs are remixed. First , only remix albums use to come. Now remix songs are used in movies too.

Making one song by mixing many popular songs was old practise, even in some old movies , used like that. But now they are taking full songs adding different modern background music and making new song. We are used to old songs in original form so , new variety sound very strange and noisy.

I have heard some remix albums. Only some are nice, like fast songs. ( one remix of the MGR song "Thulluvatho Ilamai " was good) A Srilanka Pop Music Band had made weaternised Rock ( or Rap) song with Ilayaraja's " Madai thiranthu " (SP)and it sounded really good.

But if they take nice melody songs of M.S.Viswanathan and others and add some loud drums and all, it sounds like murdering that melody.

I did not like AR Rahman's remix of "Thottaal Poo Malarum" but the remixed "Ponmagal Vanthaal" was OK because original song also was fast and dance music. " Ennamma Kannu Sowkyama" was so-so because not much change. Now latest, " Maasi maatham aalana ponnu" gives me ear pain !. That beautiful smooth -flow melody is totally murdered. Especially that female voice does not fit the lyrics at all.

What is your opinion ?

Hi Swarnalatha,

Nice topic to discuss. Basically, I dont like remix songs. I dont like to disturb the originality of the song. My suggestion would be, just to get inspired from a good old song and not remix or use the same track.There are lots to be discovered yet, why not young musicians find them out and create a new trend instead of going for remixes.

Legends like S.P.B, Music Director Vishwanathan have even openly expressed their views against remixes. I do agree the reason behind their statement.

Re:like old hindi film songs?

Hi
I like remix hindi old film songs.
IT is being presented in a newly modified way with new music new beats and all...hence I enjoy listening those remixed songs

Hi
in 90's there used to be soooooo many remix hindhi pop albums which were sooo gud..Twas bally sagoo who first remixed all the old hindhi songs and released them as pop albums..

i really njoyed watching/hearing remixed version of the song dil kya kare(form the old hindhi film julie) during my college days..

In tamil,we dont have private albums much,but the remix trend is slowly catching up in tamil films..As u said only a few remixed songs are worth listening..

I dont like remix songs too......all ican hear in those remix ones is dhoomd hoom dhoom some nonsense drum beat..or some group of people shouting in the background of the songs..the natural melody of the songs is lost in such remix ones,,,

I think the old hindi film songs were a treat to ears to listen to , there remix is not great fun ,
Some Remixes are good and some are a blunder caused to them ,
Also old is gold and like bollywood old hindi songs
