That's OK with me as long the programmer is able to program some intelligent rhythms.

Hmmm.......just listened to some samples of the new album! Yeah, I think he could benefit from a new producer! He needs something new and fresh! Maybe the guys who did Paul Taylor's last cd! I'm sure the cd will do well but it's pretty boring by my musical tastes! Kenny G needs a new sound!

I would bash any artist who basically recorded an album on autopilot and mailed it in. Look at the liner notes - the songs in this CD are all programmed by Afanisieff (sp?) , no other musicians at all. The production quality is early 90s when programming was all the rage but "Breathless", snoozy as it was, had stronger songwriting. He mailed this one in because he takes his fans for granted and believes they will buy "product" from him regardless of the actual "heart and soul" he puts into it, which in this case sounds like zero to me.

Just another example of his arrogance....
