Mellotronists

Just one so far, but I'm sittin' on a lot of new stuff yet to be 
reviewed/Monday was a holiday so the mail didn't run...

1. Minus 5 "Down With Wilco" (Yep Roc Records YEP 2052). Finally! A 
new record label and a dedicated full-length this time from a band 
with more roots in different lands than Osibisa and Esperanto put 
together...but with a Popllama label meets March Records kind of 
loose paisley folk-pop connectiveness about them. Less Mellotron this 
time too, though, with cello 'tron percolating lightly in the mix on 
just one song, "Dagger's Drawn" (track #5). Confirmed and played by 
Charlie Francis. http://www.minus5.com is the website mentioned on 
the CD, but flashes back to the old Matador site.

New England: I recall three albums, the second on Elektra with a 
great longer song about "looking up into the skies" with plenty of 
choral 'tron and some spirited keyboard work towards the end as the 
song peaks...
