a few tracks actually, but it has a very emotive sound. It's close to singing. JH: I remember bringing in loads of things like hip hop with brass and saying 'Tom, this would be great on guitar.' He said 'Yeah, you need to learn to play a brass instrument. (laughs) So how did you do it on the record? TF: Some of it is sampled, some of it is live, and some of it is on mellotron. It was just a real mishmash of stuff. The live stuff was great. It was great to see if we could do it. We had some of the world's finest trumpet players playing parts we'd been playing on keyboards. How did you track them down? TF: An arranger called Nick Grimshaw was recommended to us by Jeff and Craig, and he was involved in a lot of stuff, a lot brass-themed. So he came down and met us and really liked the tracks and he did them. JH: What he made of them was pretty great. We'd just be sending him keyboard things of us playing all the things at once and he'd say 'Quite a strange harmonic structure you're using.' TF: Before I'd actually gone and seen how it was all done, I wasn't really sure how you arrange brass, different brass instruments and different tones. But now after seeing it, I can translate that really well using mellotron sounds, so that was really exciting. It's not as bandied about these days,
