Subject: RE: [newmellotrongroup] Your favorite Mellotron song...?

From: "Thomas C. Doncourt" <tomdcour@amnh.org>

I have always loved " Lost in a Lost World "from Seventh Sojourn and the
tron arrangement to the acoustic section of "The Question" on a Question
of Balance. The chamberlin oboe and panning strings on "Lost" really do it
for me! Beyond that just about any King Crimson song with mellotron.
I like the 3violins and Hackett solo section on "Firth of Fifth" from
"Selling England by the Pound" alot.
