Blast from the past


I have a tendency to listen to music that is at least a few decades old when I am under stress or I just want to be forget something unpleasant. But it is not any kind of music. It has to be composed by Ilayaraja and it must be from the 1980s or early 90s. Why this is so? I have a few clues ...Maybe it is from the far away past that it distances me from the present ..Maybe these songs have something special either in composition or tune...Can't really give any examples as its tough to pick just a handful. But there is one obvious problem, when there is a lot of stress, I run out of my Maestro's 80s fix and there is really a limited supply here. Sigh!
