Less is more

Over in Europe WAV backing tracks are quite common (That have been played and recorded by the player, NOT some commercial rubbish) as styles are just too repetitive.

Styles are used, but with just a few instruments such as Drums, Bass and perhaps a Guitar vamp, (All singing and dancing styles are left to home players) as the punters expect to hear the player (If in Concert) or be driven along by the player (If dancing) not by lousy repetitive automatics. (This in reality is what arranger styles are)
