Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Mellotron Group

I don't love any albums because they are mellotronic. I love albums because of the music therein whether it has 'tron or not. I don't seek out mellotronic albums although I did in the early 1970s and bought a lot of indifferent and weak music. A mellotron can be the perfect adjunct but it's level of involvement does not dictate the ensuing quality. The much revered Czar album remains musically impoverished despite being smothered in tape replayness! I am slowly despatching mellotronic progrock to the recycling bin.

Beg to differ!
Live he used a Novatron Mark V!
Wish I'd bought it, but went with 2 M4000s instead.

.no Mellotrons were used on Relayeryou can hear the difference.

Great guitar tone!

Patrick Moraz got equipment (from its developers) which was still in prototype stage (for example, a Vako Orchestron, used for the string sounds throughout the album

my favorite yes album is RELAYER

It's my favourite one as well. "Gates of Delirium" cranked up really loud is always a blast, I had it on in the car last week. No really an outstanding mellotron album to me, at least though
