Actually to make this an even more useful forum, why don't we listen to the
works of our fellow mellotronic peers on this list and give some
constructive criticism?
Tell us all what you liked, what didn't you like, what your favourites were
or weren't and why. And let's be honest here - no bullshit with an
abbreviated "hey great CD "insert name."
I know that sometimes the most useful feedback and opinions may not always
be what we want to hear, but if you ∗really∗ care about the person and
his/her work you will give them a fair hearing and an honest assessment, and
point out the great songs /arrangements etc. and perhaps the not so great.
And if you're afraid of ruffling feathers then send the message privately.
We're all capable of remarkable deeds and mediocre crap, so let's listen and
be supportive. That's what any musician needs.

Hasn't the mellotronic torch been kind of passed to us anyway??:)
