If someone can do something unique that few people can do and it's
not something people like, who cares? I'n not saying Hawtin fits in this
category as I'm aware many people like his work. The point being,
uniqueness, and and the fact that few people can do it, doesn't
necessarily make it good.

I like the sound of the 303 but I don't like some of the things Hawtin
has done with it. I find much of his work uninteresting. On the other hand,
I think the FUSE album is brilliant.
