Interesting response.
I have to say that for me, Court, Epitaph and particularly ITWOP were all 3 seminal tracks that stopped me in my tracks as a teenager and changed forever the way I wanted both to listen and play music.
Until I heard these, the Mellotron was an interesting flavour filling out the back of the soundscape. And I didn't really know what one was, but these songs made me want to find out!
But to this day, I have never heard such a triumphant, in your face tron entrance as on Poseidon. It's huge and full of atmosphere.
Yes, my musical journey was never the same again after that. I'm rather sorry you don't get it Mike. I have to admit I'm surprised by that.
I'ts a bit like telling your favourite joke and the finding the person you're telling it to isn't laughing!
Just goes to show that one mans meat is another man's Poseidon!
