my thoughts exactly.

so i pose this question: an unkown money grabbing turd who holds vast production knowledge makes a techno record, this producer feels nothing for the music hes just made, as it is for commercial advantage only. (unlikley as it seems, just suppose this does happen)

not knowing this info, you listen to the record, and purchase it. a few days later u find this record was made for commercial purposes only and the producer has no feeling for the record made.

would u still play/listen to this record? would u purchase further records from this producer provided u enjoyed them?

i for one would feel cheated, and wouldnt go near a record from this producer. can u honestly say u would?
