Nice! You can tell for sure what BoC's influences were... those flute sounding synths are breath taking.

Seeing as there's so many talented musicians here I'm hoping that maybe someone will sample this and add a beat to it.

I actually made an mp3 of this and have it on loop right now

Neato! I actually just found this document at work the other day (I ship informational documents on behalf of the Gov. of Canada), a huge book on Public Accounts in Canada 2010..but the BoC part of it is that the font on the front of the book is the same one they used on MHTRTC!! I took a pic on my cellphone, I'll try and upload it later. Even our Government can't deny BoC's coolness :P
The preparation for a dive is always a tense time.

This track could be stuck into MHTRTC and fit right in.

But I think that the track in youtube is not in the collection. Could be interesting though.
