I don't know. I just try to release works on disc that I would want to
buy myself. What I'm willing to buy is a bit different than what I'm
willing to listen to. Mediocrity always exists; it serves it's purposes
like anything else. Everything influences our own sound work, even poor
or mediocre works. Even if it's there only to show us what direction we
don't want to take at a given time. Any progressive artist will naturally
move onward from where they once were and other's will naturally try to
emulate. 		*****************        *****************
