Reason 2.5 is fucking incredible!

I just got Reason 2.5, and I'm completely blown away by it. The interface design is rather nice, and the effects units are rather spiffy, but what completely bowled me over was the Orkester sound bank that comes with it.

If you're not familiar, this is a large library of orchestral sounds that have been painstakingly sampled and tweaked to absolute perfection. You should fucking hear the Viola! It's insanely good! Not to mention the sheer quality of sound that they've managed to squeeze out of PC hardware. I don't know what it is they've done with their internal mixer, but it fucking works!

I've been using it less than 24 hours and already I've produced some of my best work in the five years I've been composing. They say a good workman never blames his tools, but god damn it I feel like I've been trying to tighten screws with my fingers for years and have only now just been given a screwdriver.
