My favourite quote for JJ Jeczalik (Art of Noise):

"What you mustn't do is pretend that ten tons of concrete falling out of
 a building is a good tune, because it isn't." -- JJ Jeczalik.

The essence is often lost on many people, especially when shopping for a
new synth..."what does its piano sound like?"  Just because it can make a
sound roughly like a piano (which is actually bloody hard to do, even with
physical modelling) doesn't mean it *should* make a sound like a piano.
