Just as tremendous is for how it was built and developed over 14 months

Truly tremendous stuff!

Can it be done in Minecraft? :-P


And whatever did happen to the Animusic people? Hope they haven't got
themselves too strung up on trying to go beyond the impossible...


All beautifully and musically creative :-)

Enjoy,

Cheers,
Martin
