Ah yes, his famous total lack of ability to comprehend A-D and D-A and
resultant damning of it. Apart from the Pono, that is ...
Remember when Neil was part of CSN&Y? Remember when Neil wanted several Takes, because HE was displeased with sound quality? No, you don't, because Neil didn't give a crap about sound/audio quality.
He just seen an opportunity to compete against Apple, but failed. Had Neil had ALL of what he offered for Pono, remixed, he might have stood a chance, but he didn't.
Now, let's talk Steven Wilson, who "remixed" a Chicago (group) album. Steven's own music must not be that great (even asked local radio station), so he remixes other's work. Steven does make subtle changes to the stereo mix, and I agree with them. However, now Steven is into remixing Horn bands (via Rhino Records (guess Bill Inglot is GONE).
Actually, I like Steven's work, since he is (sometimes too) conservative, nice to digitally enhance!
