Argh...listening to this makes me want to regress!!!! This music just makes so much SENSE to me.

What's the problem with 'regressing'? Who says using old techiques and styles is regressing, just because they've been used? If anything, it's more original nowadays.
Not only that, who says you have to restrict yourself to just one style?
C'mon, go write us some more delicious 1770's music. It's like a sexual orientation, you can't deny your urges
