You can see on his discography here, he played a lot with Scott McGill who was previously posted back here. The latter however is not playing on this work, which came out in 2013.
The awkwardly named title track, Week not Weak:
Not just crazy wham-bam electric guitar nuttiness, like the heretofore posted sets from the McGill Manring Stevens combo, this does show some delicatesse here and there and even some mellotron sounds. I don't think there's much acoustic guitar, though I haven't listened through that carefully so far. Synths played by Ritchie too. So note the following keyboard track with synths + mellotron (presumably a digital or computer keyboard imitation) on the lovely complex modern classical composition called November Requiem for George:
Of course nowadays, AI / ChatGPT can do more than just replicate the mellotron sound and make it even more mellotronish, it can also replicate the whole album, making it a concept album to boot, the mood of that of the listener, his euphoria at hearing it, and even what he says to his wife upon hearing she hates the track! He can even make a new wife for the lucky guy!! Presumably one day he will be able to create a while new personality for him too! Isn't our future danged amazing?

Thank you for the listening samples. It might have been the reason that the original was issued only 200 copies as a crowdfunding project, it was hard to check the contents.
