Yep... very nice James. Very JMJ and Vangelis-like.

Just goes to show what you can do with some quite modest pieces of gear if you have the ears.

In fact, it might be something I'd suggest to many that think that they DO need the latest greatest... go out and buy a sampler from a few years back, you can pick them up for a song. Then use it to try and make something along these lines (at least quality-wise). If you don't succeed, then you might be pretty aware that spending a fortune on a pricey high-tech modern equivalent isn't going to magically transform what you can play now into anything better...

If you aren't ALREADY making great music with samplers, or a computer based GIGA-type system (all of which are cheaper), buying an MS or Neko etc. isn't really some kind of magic wand. James has made magic out of a sampler from over twelve years ago and we bitch about using a four year old arranger!

This kind of thing, I'm afraid... it ISN'T the gear. It's the player.

Kudos, James.
