The Mellotron Group

Hi Mark

Of course you haven't offended anyone. My point is that sometimes you cannot remove or simplify too much or the essence is lost. Blood and Bones is a complicated bugger but without those complications, nuances of chord, specific intervals, any tribute would be so distant from the original that it is only in name itself. I am too precious but there it is.

My best
