Mellotronists

Unconfirmed, I have a demo CD of Paul Weller's latest, to come out 
here in the States on the Yep-Roc label next month. I hear it's been 
out in the UK for quite some time now. (of Jam, Style Council fame), 
but plenty of string, flute and choir standard and straight ahead 
(untreated) M-400 on tracks 5 thru 8. What a thick, muddy record--his 
vocals and not-exactly-singalong lyrics just warble and carry on like 
he had some gawdawful hangover, y'know, like Joe Cocker coming 'round 
again after one of his years' long binges. A couple of Oasis members 
are guests on it also, so maybe their chocolate 'Tron is what you 
hear...?
