Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

My 13 year old son has shown NO interest in music until this week.
He bought his first music CD.... Vanessa Carlton - Be Not Nobody.
Good tunes, clean production and great orchestra arrangements.

Vanessa says her Dad was/is a big fan of Yes and Pink Floyd. My
first impression was that it is a "me too" recording with some catchy
tunes. After listening from start to finish, I felt like I needed to
tell somebody about this! It's nice to see a talented musician /
songwriter / singer get some airplay. Sometimes the record companies
slip-up and something good sneaks out.

...and what's this got to do with Mellotrons? Well...there is a
familiar majestic quality to some of the string arrangements... It's
a real string section though.
