They give a fantastic show....Ken Leonard and  I saw them in Phila last year. he had just gotten the bass clarinet sounds installed and he was thrilled with them as he played them all night - complete with his technique of grabbing the flywheel and slowing down the capstain which yielded great tones and sound effects.

I've been listening to the "End of the World Party "  CD and it's pretty good stuff.
 
Hope to see them w/John Scofield  in November.

If you want to hear two pieces that are the most powerful and intelligent mellotron driven pieces, go to medeskimartinandwoo d.com and listen to World End Party and Anonymous Skulls, both under Music on the homepage.  This is seriously good stuff.  John is a monster mellotron player.  When he came to visit, he attacked a MKI like he'd known it for years but had actually never played one before.  Instinctively he sorted out the R+F's and jammed along to them.  Mind boggling.
