Subject: Shameless Self Mellotron Promotion: New Invisible Rays CD

From: "heliumcell" <b.haley@rcn.com>

Hi All-

My band, The Invisible Rays has released a new CD, "Salute the American Popular Song". We used LOTS of keyboards on the record, Baldwin Electric Harpsichord, Minimoogs, Optigans, Farfisas, Hammonds, and so on; but more to the point, we used my Mellotron M400 which I restored with the gracious help of Jerry Korb, as well as the Q Division Mellotron MkII, once owned by Mike Pinder, and beautifully restored by the Mellotron Professor himself, the same Jerry Korb! Both also feature new tape sets from Streetly.

The CD should be available online in the next week or so at CD Baby, as well as iTunes, but in the meantime we are making videos for all of the songs, and we are posting them to our YouTube Channel. There are currently 4 videos. Chamber of Dreams and Combinations both make heavy use of the M400 and its creepy tuniness. Stay tuned for the MkII.
