Mellotronists

I just picked up the new Rush album "Snakes and Arrows".  Having been  
a listener of theirs since way back (even if they are Canadian! ;)  
I'd been disappointed in the last few albums but the new one is  
surprisingly better.  Also surprising is their use of a mellotron one  
of the tracks.  On the Special Edition that I picked up there is a  
video where Geddy Lee says it's probably the first time they used one  
since a song called "Tears" from 2112.  The video shows Geddy  
recording the tron strings on and talking about it's qualities  
(unfortunately it's mixed way down on the final product...).
