The Mellotron Group

Hi again-
   Oh, yeah, "Songwrighter", "The Promise", Lodge's "Natural Avenue" were all pretty bad.  Didn't hear any of Ray Thomas' or Graeme Edge's stuff.
   I liked the cover art on "The Promise", using colors produced from polarized light through crystals to produce a stained-glass look.

Hi all-
  "Blue Jays" struck a chord with me at the time, so I kind of enjoyed it (at the time).  Some of the songs were interesting, but the orchestrations were far over the top.  Simplicity would've helped.  I wondered what a bit of Pinder mellotron would've done for it?  I hear some of it recently, and cringed a bit.

Forever Autumn and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds was the only highlight from that time period. It's only a tiny bit insipid.

I always assumed that Hayward wrote the song or at least the lyrics but apparently not. (Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass)
