First off... since this is an audio-format CD, this disc was a PAIN to edit/chop up... ugh... so many samples! So much great stuff! Rhodes licks, awesome hip-hoppy/acid jazz beats... basslines (upright, fender precision, et al)... sound fx, sax riffs, synth leads, etc... TON OF STUFF!
For $90, it was worth it, for sure... but the amount of editing I had to do.... wow. It took a lot of time. But all of the samples are usable. Fun, sexy, sultry, chilled-out, intense.. what have you... this library has it all.
I can't think of any cons other than the damn audio-format CD, and how you have to chop-edit for what seems like FOREVER.
Definitely worth it, though I may recommend the Reason Refill instead.. I believe some company makes that, but I'm not sure.. if so though, pick that up... let someone else do the work for you (chopping/editing/patch creating). :)
A unique and interesting sample CD. Probably the most unique one in my whole collection (and I have a bunch).
Solid 9 (lose one point for being audio-format). :)
