I think you're misunderstanding me. The song will have real electric and acoustic guitars, real bass, real keys (albeit VSTi's) and real vocals. When I say "samples" I mean multisampled instruments, it's not like I'm going to sample snippets of old progressive tunes and stich together a song from them. Also, I'm not out to capture the sound of any specific band, I just want the tune to hava a distinct seventies sound, so whether I can play bass like Rutherford or keys like Banks is kind of a moot point.
