This gave me the same chills when I hear the real deal. Great job!  And you do sound like Pinder on Out and In.  Need adrummer?

If it's any use to you, I mocked up the Tuesday Afternoon Mellotron parts lastyear when this question came up before - you can hear them here:

On this one I've used the Mellotron Archives CD samples for both voices. The EQchops all the top and bottom off, with a bit of a boost in the middle. There'sa bit of reverb on both sides. (Interestingly, after doing this, I came acrossa partial recording of Tuesday Afternoon from (presumably) an 8-track version,which had just the Mellotron parts in exactly the same way.)

For the later Pinderesque sound, as it got mellower, I've used a wetter reverb(more reverb than dry signal) which gives the sounds you can hear in this track(which is all M-Tron):

(I did this track just to see how close I could get to the original recording.Please excuse the singing - I had a dreadful cold at the time!)

Tron sounds of this ilk can be found on other tracks on the website there -click the header to go to the main page.

Hope that's of some interest to someone!
