Ok, I admit I'm a KE fan and like a lot of ELP stuff, hold all lyrics though.  Mike is right, lots of "borrowed stuff especially on the Nice albums, but I love his Hammond playing.

I will never steal anything from ELP

KE never used a Mellotron on anything by ELP. He hated the idea of 'stealing someone else's music', which is ironic.

Hi All,
 
I pulled out ELP's Works I last night and noticed while listening to C'est la vie pretty extensive use of a "choir" sound/sample. I'm just not sure if it's a Tron or not. The primary keyboard on the album is the GX1, but I don't know if it's capable of that sound. Anyone know what made that "choir" sound?
