The Mellotron Group

Strange Advance - Worlds Away.  Sounds like Bowie with gobs of 4-Track Mellotron.  The tremolo strings are probably real strings on the studio recording.  Live, they used the 4-Track with a tremolo effect.  (and gobs of dry ice fog and blue lights).  Goosebump city.

Although I think the 4-Track did have tremolo strings available...I  
believe Dave Kean references this in one of his Mellotron videos.

Although... Drew Arnott from Strange Advance wrote to me a while back to 
tell me that although they owned a 4-Track, it sounded so awful that they 
used an M400 in the studio  :-)

That's why we've ordered new tapes. I'm sure when I'm done sorting it  all 
out it will sound great.
