Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] 4000D users?

From: Jim Blair <ceratos@shaw.ca>

I bought an M4000D a couple of years back. I've also owned many of the tape instruments, and there's an M400 here in the studio. The M4000D is very good, and gets a lot of use.

I just got it ! Two Memotrons. Classic line ups had 2 M400 on stage. I thought it had something to do with Soundscapes. I wasn't quite believing that Jakko was on board. I am very glad I was wrong.

I saw Jakko playing in the Schizoid band twice. His passion for the music of Crim is incandescent and very real. If that is rubbing off on Mr enigmatic it would be quite wonderful.

Well since Mel Collins and Jakko Jakszyk are in this new Crimson, it stands to reason that the pre-1980 material is being brought out of retirement.

Gino, you are going to get some vintage Crimson and that's why they have two Memotron racks. No more gossip from me but it is exciting!
