1. The comment by James Warden was *not* anonymous. 
2. 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.
