I am talking about aesthetic motivation - that it should not be affected by
genre.
>hey, for us yanks, what's trifle? should i want some?
Oh sorry. Thought everyone called it trifle. It's a dessert - made of
jelly with bits of sponge and fruit in it, topped with a layer of fruit,
then cream on top (optional).

The thing that was printed on record sleeves upto the mid 80s. To do with
using blank cassettes to record albums instead of buying them. I was

relaxed. You can't compare home taping for personal use with sampling and
