Recently there have been too many remix attempts in Tamil. I personally like a few. Remixing the best tunes of the same album in club mode have been my favorites sometimes bettering the original. to name a few - jalsa in Chennai 600028, loosu penne in vallavan. Some attempt to remix famous old songs which I wonder is probably because the music director couldn't come up with a catchy tune himself. These attempts more or less a miss than a hit. Probably the worst so far of such genre is the remix of Yengayum yeppodhum (http://www.raaga.com/getclip.asp?id=999999068964) in the movie Polladhavan. Even after numerous attempts I haven't been able to listen to the entire song. My only gripe is how could SPB lend his voice to this one. Its an atrociously disgraceful tribute to the original. At the same time I should appreciate the attempt to remix the song Adiye manam nilluna nikkadhadi (http://www.raaga.com/getclip.asp?id=999999068366) in the movie malaikotai. Tippu and Anuradha sriram have definitely contributed their bit to the success of this song.

dude - put up some links so I can go listen to them. I am too lazy to go search for these songs.
I second Guppy for some the songs...
BTW - Engeyum Eppodhum was not rerecorded with SPB again, they just used the old track from the original.
Also, Jalsa from Ch 60028 is already a remix version of Senthamizh thenmozhiyal...quintessential YV Raja - blatant lift as usual.
nagus - some of the lines are new and are in SPB's voice..one would think he re-sang it for that reason. he cud've just lipped those few lines though
all remixes can't be attributed the lack of creativity..they are the result of an inherent trait in
us to take something and make it better. i liked engaeyum..and aasai nooru vagai from kurumbu.
here's where i say what most bloggers expect after they post something: nice post da :)
SPB should have sung this again as there are lots of variations here and there and further he sings it in english too.
Its the rap that i didnt like. i did like aasai nooru vagai.
