Matt Mahafee, Self, is a wonderful talent, and I own most of his work. 

Quirkier and more fun than Yes, KC or the oh so serious Prog bands of today or yesterday, his music is just as sophisticated. Check out "Subliminal  Plastic Motives"

Sorry for the brevity, as I am replying from a remote region of iPhonekstan.

Hi everyone,
I was watching Jimmy Kimmel on Aug. 14th, which closed with a band called "Self," from Tennessee. Typical 2 guitars, bass & drums, & a keyboard player on a riser, facing sideways toward the drummer.  I saw him playing some small synth keyboard on a stand that was mostly hidden in the 1st shot I noticed of him, til they showed him from the front of the stage. That white "stand" was an M-400 in all it's glory, & I heard both flutes & strings floating subtly, but nicely from it at different times.

Hardly K.C. or Yes, but it's SO great to see a Mellotron in live performance.  They still rock & RULE!  Cheers!
