Global recognition for IR's music.......

The article is commenting on pieces scored in the 80s like how to name it (which is timeless) and nothing but wind (which had pop beats of 80s). As far as MX goes - much of its jazz pieces were assembled in late 80s and early 90s according to Guitar prasanna. So no issues here. Having an 80s style is not an issue. The strings he employs are 14th and 18th century music - so does it mean IR is stuck in 14th century?
The reviewer has given a clue to the listener to have an 'open mind' when it comes to expecting the kind of music from Ilaiyaraaja and I dont see it as a problem. In fact here in USA 70s and 80s are associated with glorious music and great artistes like Pink floyd, Bee Gees, Phil Collins etc.,
