Sakkarkatti is an album which didn’t have huge expectations like a shivaji etc. We expected youthful music similar lines of Boys, E20U18 etc. Now since the album is out all we can hear is youthful, fresh beats, sounds and tunes. I don’t know if I would be bashed up for saying this album is top notch. The Re – used tunes here are in fact filling the album and making it a package. I feel he is very careful and will never use his Hindi tunes blindly anymore. These two tunes are totally different and he might have had a feeling that it might do well with the Tamil audience.
Taxi Taxi- Now this song might have the feel of famous Gasoline Beats (Rahman’s Favorite track), but please remember world is small and u hear any and every kind of music. This beat may be similar that doesn’t mean that he ripped this off. This song has stamps of RAHMAN being the master of using technology followed with a cute melody in a Hip Hop song. This song will bang the speakers of cars in all colleges and will boomer with bass in all discs.
Virus in this song…1:50-2:19- The 1st interlude is the best I have ever heard from Rahman since long long time.
3:10-3:44- Now this French lyrics reminds me off something. Way back when shivaji released I remember Suhasani Ratnam mentioning somewhere that she was working out at the gym suddenly there was a song from a different country being played there; finally it was Style from Shivaji. Now this song is on the similar lines, this French lyric is just so cute, I feel without this Taxi Taxi would have been half baked.
Marudhani- Rahman never kills his melodies with heavy beats and I can vouch on it. Be it Munbe Va , Sneighdhane , Myileerighe etc. You can feel while listening to his melodies, how he must have grown it and I am sure the beats are the final mix in his melodies. This song is an exception where he has experimented a new kind of a techno bass, riff and slap sticks with a beautiful pad. He succeeds and this will create a new trend.
This song has so many variations and I still feel he could have sung at least a portion of the song to make it the No.1 Song for ME in this album. This song should create waves this year only if we people are ready to accept the new base by Rahman .
Virus in this song…Opening 00:00 – 00:46
Rahman’s humming 2:49-2:59
Ending
I Miss U Da- People pounced on this track to be the best of all when heard at beginning. This track is sheer experimentation by the genius. I feel this song lacks tune at times. Rahman has kept experimenting with tracks like this for the last few years.
Spiderman – New
Thazhavadu – Ahh ah
Maza maza – SOK
This track beats them all easily and this time Rahman wins as he created a new stamp after 3 efforts. The Stabs at times move between your ears and the other new sounds , which shows the mixing is just superb and no one in India at least can come up to him(His studio) in terms of sound mixing..

Emni Chant and I leave it to you guys to comment.
Elae- This song is underrated by many and yes keeping in mind the violin sample commonly used etc. While listening just try to avoid the violin sample, still will make the song fabulous. Off course the violin adds the icing to the cake. This song brings a fresh breeze along with drops of rain water pass through you. In the present TFM no one except Rahman can compose a song like this. This song for ME is better than Robaaroo. But yes the lyrics could have been better.

The opening, Interludes and the ending is fabulous.
Over all considering the Re tunes too an remarkable attempt by Rahman . If the movie takes on, this album will go miles.
