The MC2 Project – Rising
The MC2 Project’s “Rising” is an instrumental adventure through musical worlds that combine the spirit of 1970s progressive rock with elements of classic rock and blues. Ambient synth pads create a dreamy atmosphere from the start, slowly wrapping the listener in an environment that feels meditative . The song’s primary progression begins at 0:26, with a complex combination of guitar, synth, and drumming creating a strong nostalgic emotion, similar to the strong, adventurous sounds of bands such as Deep Purple. The guitar work is particularly impressive, integrating a bluesy, emotional approach with complex, technically proficient innovations. This blues-rock element adds warmth and sentimental weight to the song, connecting its complicated instruments with a soulful touch.

However, it is the dynamic layering and rhythmic changes that really push the tune into progressive rock area, reflecting the experimental spirit of classic prog without being excessively “huge.”
