Mellotronists

Got my first listen earlier today to Rick Wakeman's new "Retro"  album, done 
on vintage instruments, including an M400 (provided by one Lee  Pomeroy, who 
also plays bass on the tracks).  The tron is prominently  featured on 8 of the 
10 tracks (strings/brass/choir/flutes).  At first  listen, it seems to by a 
hybrid of 6 Wives, Arthur, Criminal Record, ands White  Rock.  Anyone else heard 
this CD yet?  Can't Rick find anyone besides  that God-awful Ashley Holt to 
do his vocals?
