Mellotronists

well Pinder's solo albums definitely aren't up to the cosmic 
standards he set with the Moodies but they have moments. Andy-write

 THE PROMISE' title cut is the closest thing he did to a MB tune. 
The rest is closer to Steely Dan/lightweight California pop. That's 
what happens to proggers who leave jolly old England..they must 
leave the magic behind.
