The Genesis track Visions of Angels has lots of 'tron choir.
Trespass was released in 1970 I think. I don't recall any choir on
Nursery Cryme. There's the bit at the end of Supper's Ready, and of
course choir is used beautifully on Selling England.
There is no 'tron choir on Visions of Angels or Suppers Ready or indeed anywhere on Nursery Cryme.
The first appearance of choir was on Selling England when the 400 came into use causing problems with the "Watcher.." intro as the Mk II 3 violins/brass mix was no longer available. No flutes either; the intro to Battle of Epping Forest being played live on a Hammond voicing.
There is a roumour that the violins and brass were quite out of tune with each other on said 400 and that the Watcher intro was played on 'tron 400 and Hammond organ.
However.. check out the Arthur Brown album as mentionecd in a previous post
