I think that Mattias is on to something.

Brain Wilson is:
∗white
∗weighs more than he should for what he does
∗doesn't always work properly
∗but with adjustment can and does
∗has a very distinctive voice
∗is responsible for some of the most iconic sounds in pop music
∗worked with his two brothers
∗was out of fashion for a long time but has recently made a comeback
∗sounds really great live

I could go on, but I think I've already proven my thesis:

Brian Wilson is a mellotron!

So, you see, dear Martinge, you're wrong. There isn't life beyond
mellotrons.

PS Don't feel bad. Many of us think you're astounding...
