The original post (with the video link) was made to show something 'made with Linux', not to advertise the music itself. Given that, James Warden's comment is exactly as much missing the point as one just saying 'great music', and also exactly as valid. 3. To answer the question 'You have the technical means to produce something, so why don't you use them to create good music ?' : because T-REX is a commercial studio and Giorgio is a professional audio engineer. Which means you produce what your customers pay for.
