Ive bit my tongue for too long. There are some (not all) artists out there who have the gaul to upload what i can only call automated shite to the internet. It bugs me when i spend hours coming up with a tune with melody and direction. Then for some idiot to upload a bunch of hap hazard samples with a beat over it and call it music. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH and then the fuckers get to number 1 with it. Or soundscapes theres just no effort in those at all, get youself a top end keyboard and hold down one chord for half an hour and stick some stock echoey samples over it and hey presto another hit. If this sounds like sour grapes IT IS.

Hellscion, you must be in a bad mood....
