Piano is great. Rhytms, Arps, Strings, Melodies etc. Just by one dude.
It has great limitations, especially when compared to a rich sound tapestry of larger ensemble.
The biggest advantage is it being pretty comprehensive instrument for a solo performer/composer. Piano's limited timbre would be rather repetitive, unless you really hire a virtuoso. A keyboard like the one in the video is rather awful, IMO.l, but then again I dislike electric instruments. (Theremin is interesting in small doses though)
Avenger has tons of timbres. Its simply amazing, it even has its own plugings. Wild Wild Son is good example, how one can change the "tone/timbre".
I dont know whats wrong with repetitive music, it works greatly for Racing Games at least. Games are repetitive themselves. DOS2 wasnt exception, it makes me smile, when devs try to turn games into some amazing-ambient-experience, when they are plain games. The thing is to realize when reptitiveness turns into grind, imho. You can bang a girl few times, but do not so all of your life.
