Hmmm. That Mellotron film. There have always been a few things thathave bothered me about it.

1. Eric Robinson being introduced as a 'personality'. Nothing else.Just a personality. That sounds so non-corporeal it's quitefrightening. I half expect to find him as nothing more than a brain injar. Like something out of a ropey Dr Who episode from the 1960s. Maybehe was.

2. David Nixon's sense of musical timing. Not to mention his choice oftunes. Oh. And the decor of his house. I could also say that theMellotron he is playing has some shoddily adjusted tapes but that wouldjust be picky of me.

3. That grin that Geoff Unwin gives at the end of his little speed-up,slow-down, speed-up again demo. Sort of like the apologetic grin onegives when one has broken particularly massive and messy wind in frontof your fiance's mother. Whilst on Ketamine. In a white suit.

But best of all

4. That split second shot of a girl sitting on a massive cock at theend.
