Agreed to a small extent.... But as someone that is involved in independent music creation, you surely must understand just HOW MUCH time and effort must be spent making a decent track. Try looking at it like this:
Since I got into hardcore, CLSM has had at least 1 track on each bonkers compilation since X. That averages roughly at about 1 or 2 tracks every 6 months. That doesn't seem a lot at first.... but how many tracks did he(they) have to produce before the DJ mixing the album actually selected one of those tracks? For every track that makes an album there has to be at least 10 that don't.
Now assuming, as you say, he does it for the love of it and has a 9-5 job that pays the bills for him. That doesn't leave an awful lot of time to be writing and polishing music... Maybe he might get 1 track finished off every 2 - 4 weeks....
... and this is the problem: what if he does not have enough tracks that DJs want to spin? What if he is now only gonna get 1 track out to the public every 1-2 years?
All those late nights and weekends holed away in his room just for 1 track to have an insignificant impact on the occasional compilation album? It is simply not worth spending that amount of time to make music that no-one will ever hear... and even more demoralising when the crap we hear today is being chosen for albums over labours of love like that from CLSM.

Do you even know anything about CLSM? Everything he produces is ****ing gold and he releases (did release) a fair few tracks, more than 1 a year.

LOL - I'm not arguing with you on the quality, and of course I don't know how many he gets out (the numbers were for the sake of example)...
...but no artist EVER successfully publishes EVERYTHING they create.

This is a shame. I was excited to see them on iTunes this year, and now this. It's too bad, but I will be reloading my iPod with their best stuff in honor of their great work!
Thanks for the music and the memories!

In protest, I refuse to believe that CLSM is over.

damn i just found about this and it's so sad!
but i'm glad to see that no 1 has had anything negative to say on such a great man and great producer, unless i've overlooked it but still
he will be greatly missed on this end and hope that he does return sooner than later
