check- there are keyboard/guitar/electronic choir solos (don't believe it's mellotron but not sure)

I don't think that the solo's in UW songs are meant to demonstrate the vituosity of the player. It is the overall structure that should/could be considered a sign of virtuosity. Though Karl's guitar solos are an exception, because they are played live. Not to downplay electronic music or anything, but programming a piano loop for example, how beautiful it may be, is not something that I (and probably most other people) would consider a sign of virtuosity.
