Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Actually Vincent, despite his rather abrupt wit, Mike may be one of
the finest Mellotron players in the world. He has been in a band
called Systems Theory. They released a CD called, "Soundtracks for
Imaginary Movies." This CD, released in 2004 was considered ground
breaking. Rest assured, and with all due respect, as a musician, he
kicks your ass. As an actor, he has yet to prove himself. As a human
being... we think he does pretty darn well. He also makes a living
doing other stuff as well.

You are an actor that plays music. He is a musician that excels at it.
If I was to compare your musicianship to his, I could not. His talent
far exceeds yours.

You know what Frank; I had enough of your bullshit. First you try to
poo poo the beautiful Chamberlin for sale on eBay because you want it
and because you cry to me that it may be hurting your auction. I
politely listen to your crap and now you insult me. Your silly
repainted and re-taped Mellotron you feel is so glorious is really a
glorified sampler of a real Tron with its pro-tooled tape set. I moved
to NYC in 1978 and Played and recorded with bands as part of the New
York no wave scene. One band I formed with artist Jean Michel Basquiat
called GRAY began recording with Brian Eno in the summer of 1979 five
years before my first appearance in a film. I release music with the
prestigious British label Warp records who would hardly release a
vanity project. I am one of the few who take working 100% original
Mellotrons on tour. (Original Trons not like your re-model). Fuck you
and your mother
