Something about the overall sound quality was lacking for me I guess, but I digress.
No worries dude! To each their own-I just wanted to make sure people weren't thinking that the intro was what the whole release sounded like, ya know? It's probably a good thing that there are different production tastes even within something like just 1 x LSDJ. Still, I personally love this releases' sound as a whole.

I'd prefer a better-quality recording job here
Really? Be careful not to use the beginning of the first track as a judgement, because it changes radically. Listen up to 1:14 (where the production shifts, almost like when Wizard of Oz switches from black and white to color) and see if you still think that, because I personally think the production owns. Crisp and full as all hell-I'm def jealous!
This is amazing, great job Mr. Sposa and love the cover art!

Honestly, I get waves of self-doubt and anger at the possibilities I could have done. I compensate by tweaking it live

Rxx on the hi hats for retriggers!
GROOVE SCREEN, 3/3 or faster, double your pattern length to compensate
Also try shortening your instrument length to make them real short and snappy. 10 or lower works well.

Re: Experiencing Ego Death While I Listened To My Own Music (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The term you're probably looking for is "Ego Depletion." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_depletion Although misinterpreted in drug culture as "ego death," as a slang term, it originally is used to view our self-control as a limited resource.
Also a feeling that you get during that experience can also be a very sober thing, no drugs needed at all. Dr. Csíkszentmihályi proposes this in his "Flow" concept and actually has a few published articles on the relationship between Flow and the creation of electronic music. Check them out sometime!
But yes, I have experienced this effect (specifically, Flow) for sure and I also assume that nearly everyone here has too. It's not really a WHOA OMG MIND TRIP thing but it really is that experience that is expressed in the saying, "time flies when you're having fun." Coincidentally, "Ego Depletion" is the title of my next release. 
edit: And I don't even do drugs.

Whenever I feel like a desirable and useful piece of chip music-related kit is too expensive, I remind myself to be infinitely thankful about not drooling over or feeling that I need old guitars like this.
Drum machines… well, that's another story. Sigh.
You're not missing much over not lusting over those guitars anyway IMHO
