Two other interesting albums I was able to hear recently are Morse Code's
"La March Des Hommes" (which has a Gabriel era Genesis influence) and
"Pussy" (self-titled)-a pyschedelic/prog crossover comprising songs and
instrumental improvisation. Both have Mellotron on them.
Has anyone heard of Ramases? This was South African prog with members of
10CC as the backing band. Not sure if there's Mellotron on this one but I'm
told it's an interesting listen.
