OK, so I overeacted a little. Its just when I see load of criteria 
(rules?Questions? whatever) for music creation I automatically think of 
"Keep Music Live" and get a
little hot under the collar.

I do believe though that the final sound coming out of the speakers is all 
that counts
in decided whether you like a piece of music or not. As to artistic 
integrity and ripping
off Bitches Brew, I say as long as I'm not being lied to I've got no 
problem. And
providing Miles gets his due of course.

Cheers
Andrew C.
