Amen! People don't generally sit down and creat music to up the ante in
some battle of who can out-innovate who (well some may), they create music
becasue it's fun to do! They take joy in it! Whatever gets you off, do
that. If scattering breaks gets you off do that. If mimicking Ae gets you
off, do that. If that sound of a washing machine gets you off, record it.
Ae are amazingly talented IMHO; having fans who recognize their
innovations is merely a by-product of their endeavors. They make music, as
everyone should, for themselves. 

peace
