Mellotronists

A/B comparison is a problem.  I can think of 2 stark
album examples of Chamberlin use; "7th Sojourn" by the
Moodies, and "Tidal" by Fiona Apple.  Not much
layering on either one, due to the clarity of the
instrument.  A very dry Chamby is played over the
final credits of "Boogie Nights".  Also, download some
of the Chamby/Tron samples from Dave Kean's listening
room, and one can do quick comparisons.  Pretty dry, &
some are from different sources.  Same source on the 3
Violins though, so it can easily be compared.
