We got a mention but so did a lot of other bands I really like. It's not a popularity contest. We also got listed on other "best of" threads, so you can't afford to take any of it seriously at all.
As long as our label can continue to make a business case for us to release albums, nothing else matters. And that's the bottom line, someone else is willing to spend money on us, to take a financial risk on what we do. It's very humbling when you think about it. It also gives us a serious responsibility, which is probably something I could live without, but it never comes into calculation when we are making creative decisions and is otherwise a small price to pay for everything it gifts us.
I don't think it makes us special or better than anyone else, I don't think that way, but it definitely does validate what we do. I think it also sets up these divides. Our aims are very obviously different from those of the vast majority of users but they do align more closely with Rich's vision for Orion, I think, which is good for us.
So when you finally get to sample Automation Tracks and realise how limited they are, just remember I was the guy saying Rich's time would be better spent working on spline-based automation within the current automation system and you're the guys who disagreed and encouraged development down this path.

Yep, that's the principle I based the comment on.
