Are you looking for something that is exclusively Mellotron or "has lots of
it" or "a decent amount of it"? What style of music? The 'tron is found
in all different kinds.

http://www.planetmellotron.com/ has an amazing discography of Mellotron
CDs. It's a great start.

If electronic is your thing... Radio Massacre International -
http://www.rmi.dircon.co.uk/ ...or these
guys: http://www.kleonard.com/kltunes/improvisedwaves.htm ;-)

You may want to check out this guy http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fritzdoddy as
well. More rock than electronic (and still an outstanding album).

All of the above are Mellotronists list members, and I obviously didn't get
everyone who has some tunes available on CD. Who else did I slight (aside
from Gordon Reid, Systems Theory, Sundae Club, Chip Gremillion of Lift,
Brendan Pollard of Rogue Element, and nearly the whole rest of the list)?

If progressive/AOR is your thing, you'd probably start with old Genesis or
old Moody Blues. Then dive into old King Crimson, Yes, and the load of
others in Andy's discography.

Perhaps a little 70's Tangerine Dream?
