I'm surprised no one has mentioned any Wakeman stuff...

I know the thread has moved from the best mellotron player to the best sounding mellotron player...

I have to put in some votes for "And You and I", "Six Wives" and lots of "Tales..."

Not great technically, but then again what is (amazing what you can do with 2 fingers...)  Still, soothing to the ear...

Wooly always gets a vote...  as does Tony and "Selling England..."

Tangerine Dream my favorite electronic band.
Been a listener since 74, the reason I bought my Tron so if you like the soundtrack from Sorcerer, I suggest the earlier stuff like Phaedra, Rubicon (70s) and decade by decade since.

PS those guys have used very large amounts of modular synths, Mellotrons and guitars smothered with effects :-).

This topic found me dragging out old King Krimson stuff...year, Epitaph
and Lizzard we real cool tronish...
But hey...Is Tangerine Dream "socerer" mellotron, or was it synth?
The title track is real cool.
