A cassette was released by a company called Sargam. It lists three songs but in fact it contained 4 songs and the fourth song is TK4. It's a classical song and is beautifully sung by Yesudas. One of the best Salil songs I would say. Aparently its based on a carnatic raga called Kathanakutohalam. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any Hindusthani equivalent raga as yet.
Song #TK2 is a nice variation on that famous 'Machalti aarzoo' by Lata from 'Usne Kahaa Tha'.
'Olangale' is a unique song composed in 'paanch-maatra' - i.e 1-2-3,1-2 rhythm. Antara Chowdhury first recorded this song in Bengali 'O bhola mon' in 1990.Salil was experimenting with the suspended 4th chords then and he was rather pleased with that song.
K.S.Chitra's version of 'Kathil' (TK5) is excellent and is a rare find. It's in the film but not in the cassette.
