They don't get mentioned much round here, do they? I've just bought
their retrospective collection 'Sun Set' and it's undeniably impressive
(or at least the first half, comprising '3:47 EST' and 'Hope' is) and as
far as the first album is concerned it's Set Mellotrons To Stun.
An interesting band - 'Hope' is unfairly overlooked, for some reason,
yet it was quite a phenomenal compositional effort and perhaps one of
the best examples of how to blend an orchestra and a band ∗properly∗.
It's just a pity thy were a victim of their own hype and a few rather
idiotic rumours.
