Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] Peter Gabriel

Have listen to the sound track of Red Planet. Gabriel does a piece called "The
tower that eats people" as the opening and a longer closing/credits theme. If
my ears aren't deceiving me there is a Mellotron used, set to strings. Maybe
it's a sample but I trust him to be fateful.
