Mellotronists

fantastic band. though I thought "relayer" badly recorded; the production was 
superb, and moraz' contribution so distinctive and yet never overstated. 
still watching wakeman's madcap aspel theme/white rock alternate career 
path..... and the poor bastard birotron.... 
I stayed with yes until the buggles thing; after "wondrous.." had been on top 
of the pops, and "whale" also bothered the charts, that was more than a 
teenager could tolerate. this was up north, remember, where thin lizzy and 
raven ruled the scene. also by then, we'd seen trevor rabin in an 
unfavourable light supporting a triumphant hillage band, talented though he 
obviously is. 

and since then? "I called it 'onion', because it made me cry." but rick's 
stand-up-hosting sense of humour prevails and it's once more into battle. any 
english gigs planned?
