Mellotronists

Not to beat a dead horse about the flutes on "Daniel", but I just asked Brian 
Kehew about them (today) and here's his response:


>"Daniel" - Ken Scott - who played it - says it was the ARP, he's very proud >
of that patch and the patch he made for sax sounds on "Suffragette City". >Be 
aware that its an ARP modular, and not just an Odyssey. He could >program 
breaths and randomenss into it...


This is pretty much what he reported earlier (below), with the addition of 
the programming for breaths and randomness.
