'Neeyo Njaano' composed by Ilaiyaraaja for his Malayalam Debut 'Vyaamoham' (1978), directed by K.G. George. The film was also Ilaiyaraaja's FIRST Non-Tamil venture.
The song was well ahead of its times. Be it the stylish flute prelude or the counterpoint from 1:44 to 1:59; the song alone would have sufficed to judge his sheer genius!
Back in those times, I believe Ilaiyaraaja and Salil Chowdhury were the only Indian composers with contrapuntal mastery.
