Subject: Mellotron/Chamberlin Discoveries For The Week

From: "mellotrongirl" <mellotrongirl@...>
Date: 2003-09-03

First off--it's the latest from North Mississippi All-Stars. Music
overall in kind of a sou-fried/Capricorn Records vein with a little
Bare Jr. and O.A.R. thrown in, but a couple tracks featuring nice
(confirmed) Mellotron strings. Hey, it works--after all, Lynyrd
Skynyrd did it...

And some nice icey strings appear on a three-song E.P. from Azure
Ray titled "The Drinks We Drank Last Night" (Saddle Creek Records
LBJ-55) (unconfirmed; USA release) with enough drama and beauty to
segue nicely between Slowdive's "Losing My Religion" and
KC's "Prince Rupert Awakes".
