I like Bach's music; I enjoy Bach's music. Bach had a bunch of sons, and one of them was not as responsible as the others, and he lost about a third of Bach's music. That's always been an incredible frustration (for me). If only someone could find this music, or if we only had the 7th Brandenburg Concerto, or we had more music from Bach.... So my motivation was to find a way to get more Bach music.

The other thing was really a response to Civilization. Civilization had been so successful, it had created this big wave of pressure of "what's Sid going to do next?" I really sensed a danger that I didn't want to get into this "topping myself every time" phenomenon. I saw mental illness down that road. I said I am not going to get in the business of topping Civilization and then trying to top what comes after Civilization. There lies madness.
This was something I had kind of wanted to play with for a while. Nobody's going to compare it to Civilization and say, well, it's a little more fun or it should have done this or whatever. So it was kind of a mental relaxation thing doing CPU Bach. It was a great, fun experience - definitely off the beaten track. Somewhat of an indulgence on my part, but it kind of got my brain back in shape again.
