I don't have anything against it. The 'crappy' part comes from the muziq
habit of overloading the mixer inputs, and EQ'ing out anything below
500khz. 

Though I'd have to say the HR16 kicks need a lot of help.  Which goes
to the next muziq hr 16 habit of running through a fuzz pedal, sampling
it into the FZ-1 and diddling the filter on it.

Some of the ride cymbals on the Jega album sound like he sampled them
off of "Bluff Limbo."
