Being completely subjective here, I think a much more impressive piece is
the Face on Mars in the Bath archive. I suppose it might be a tad tonal for
some tastes, but I think it's a *really* good bit of PR for Csound. I drag
it out and listen to whenever I feel like kicking my PC, and Csound, out
onto the lawn and abusing the remains violently with a blowtorch. :)

As for complaining - I suggest you actually try making some music first. In
fact try to match the quality and richness of the sounds available from a
good modern MIDI tone module, but without cheating and going down the
sample playback route. (Which is boringly easy to do, although effective.)

You may find you feel a little more sympathetic after some hands-on
experience. :) 

Cheers,
