there is a definite 'charm' to many basement recordings...perhaps akin to children's drawings. They capture more raw emotion and state of being than polished 'adult' products, even if the technical skills are sorely lacking.
And Also, let us not forget that 80% of the people who run recording studios have A) A complete lack of taste, B)Only marginally better skills or 'ears' C) Poor interpersonal skills, which make recording a total drag and D) the damn fool idea that their services are worth a small fortune, when that same small fortune could turn anyone's basement into a reasonably well equiped home studio.
A good engineer is worth their weight in gold, but a mediocre one can be a liability.
