Hi Everyone! After having worked on this for almost three years, I've finally released my synth arrangement of "The Planets" as an album. You can get it in FLAC format from CD Baby (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/mikeleghorn3) and MP3 from Amazon, iTunes, etc...
 
For this this album I used X2, X3, z3ta2, and several Uh-e synths. No samples were used.
 
You can preview the tracks on my Soundcloud site: http://soundcloud.com/mike-leghorn
 
Enjoy!
Mike

Mike, this is ASTONISHINGLY good and such a brilliant idea. Ive heard mars and am listening to the rest now. I really hope you reap the rewards for all of your hard work and dedication to this project.
 
All the best
Bibs

Nicely done!  I don't think I'd have the restraint to not use samples in some of those sections.
 
If you were to set Mercury to a four on the floor beat it could almost be trance.  
 

Hey Bibs and Steve, thanks for your kind feedback!
 
Mike
