addendum: disco sucked.. not

Oh, by the way, PAR, this is not intended as a criticism against
you but a general manifesto pro the choice of wanting the clarity
of a computer controlled rhythm over the funky messiness of an
asynchronous bunch of people playing in a rock band. In fact both
approaches have their just moments. And a symphony simply cannot
be recorded with computer controlled sync, it would never sound
like one if each musician was to play after the other.

I'm just currently disturbed by this intolerance which reminds me
of "disco sucks" in 1979. Disco music back then was considered
unnatural compared to hand-made rock'n'roll. So ridiculous, since
today everybody knows that the vast majority of disco music was
handmade and only pioneers like Giorgio Moroder were (in part)
using electronically controlled rhythm for disco music. So if you
think of what the "disco sucks" revolt was trying to achieve, they
later got the full slashback with techno and dancefloor eurotrash. ;)
