Re: [LAU] Prog rock instrumental, sort-of WIP

Once again it makes me rethink whether it's practical to try to record prog rock using only free software, since it's so dependent upon a certain palette of sounds that's amply covered under Windows but not as easy to come by under Linux. I have some crunchy Mellotron samples I like, but certainly nothing like M-tron. But what struck me most after the Mellotrons was how good the organ sounded, so maybe there's hope. I know you think it sounds unpolished, but I actually find glossy, overproduced stuff to be kind of wearing, especially when it has a big, symphonic arrangement. Hope to hear the rest of it someday. And while I haven't listened to that much Scandinavian prog, I like Anglagard better than Flower Kings too. Rob
