Subject: [Mellotronists] Melodic Mellotron


I haven't looked through all the messages here, but anybody remember Jimmy
Waldo's fabulous Mellotron renditions on New England's first album? I was
listening to the CD in my car the other day, sitting in a parking lot, and
two guys came up and said "Wow, is that new? Cool dude." Told 'em it was
1979-1980 Time Frame. One guy said, wow, I wasn't born then. ;)


Hahahahaha!!!! Just been listening to my download of 'Don't Ever Wanna Lose
Ya' - a lost AOR classic, no less! Completely ludicrous, but lots of fun,
and loads of 'Tron strings, although he's trying hard to make it sound like
a string synth. The lengthy track on their second album is apparently the
'Explorer Suite' - I've been promised a tape of this, so I'll eventually be
able to judge for myself.
