Sadly, the Ethos I saw had only MichaelPonczek on keys live as Duncan Hammond had left the band. As I recall, Ponczeklive, played the Chamberlin (although I had no idea what a Chamberlin was in1978 or 9), Polymoog, Mini Moog and probably a B3 and Rhodes and guitarist WilSharpe played an M400 on occasion.  I remember speaking to Wil after thegig about the Mellotron as I was a fanatic for anything Mellotron related inthose days. Nice guy and great band.

That would have been cool – did they have the twinkeyboardist set-up? The second album was fairly tron-less…

Yes – aside from all the incredible work by the FOML∗ (manyhumbling bows to you excellent arteurs), I would votefor the Ethos Ardour album – two keyboardists:one with a Mellotron and one with a Chamberlin – and awash with sounds, including thewinner of the coveted Tronny in the category of BestUse of the Chamberlin Female Voice sound…

That would be hard to deny.
