You know, they did not use a Mellotron. They used an amazing one of kind instrument on the Aguirre soundtrack called a Choir Organ, very powerful choir sounds. An American GI named Jimmie Johnson was the best known player / programmer I have hear tell that you can use sounds other than voices on it

Although I remember this group, I had very little exposure listening to their music back in the day.  Over the last 7 months or so, I have been slowly becoming acquainted with their music and it has been a very pleasant experience thus far.

I hope you enjoy reading the overview and listening to the podcast that is just under 2 hours long.
