Whew!

A little tribute to my absolute favorite band ever, with one of their greatest songs ever. Long live Rush!

Easily the longest and most ambitious MPC undertaking I've done yet. Between using MIDI notation, guitar, bass, and synth tabs, and listening by ear, I hope the result of this one is as accurate as possible to the original. I realize there's extra "hits" so to speak in the ending, but that is just due to the lack of sustain of the instruments in the MPC program. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with how this one turned out. The instrument list is as follows:

Mushroom--Bass drum and toms
Boats--Snare drum, high hats, and cymbals
Ghost--Bass
Heart--Higher bass
Face--Synth bass
Coin--Organ synth
Shyguy--Synth solo
Piranha plant--Higher synth solo
Pig--Lower guitar
Cat--Higher guitar
Swan--Guitar solo
Plane--Lower guitar solo
Yoshi--Vocals
Dog--Background vocals
