i'm bettin i won't get a proper answer here, but i'll try anyway. how do you keep consistent with the quality of your music output and keep the "freshness" alive. Long x3 Journey comes to mind as a fairly obvious (and successful!) attempt to try and keep things fresh
that's very nice of you, but the answer is, (if what you say is true) a long time ago i became aware of the freshness monster. it is a huge monster which lives not under your bed but under the entire universe. freshness is not a thing you need to maintain, but it is something that is bigger than all of us and pre-dates the entire universe. non-freshness is just a small distraction we have sometimes created. seeing back to the freshness is sometimes easier said than done, but at least i have a reminder burned into my fridge that it is always not only possible but swell easy and fun, and every person place or thing living or dead is entitled to it according to a legally binding contract set forth during the big bang
