Re: [Mellotronists] Trying to figure out a particular Mellotron sound on the ...

2002-12-30 by mrarcoman@aol.com

I have the good old trifold LP and a CD version on the Repertoire label -- 
which came with 3 extra tracks....not sure if this is the case on Lasers Edge 
version?  I just played The Prisoner at the 4:15 mark and heard the tron 
sound you were mentioning.  Can't say as I recognize it.  It's always been 
one of my favorite tron bits on the LP, but I guess I never tried to figure 
out which tape made the sound.  Sounds a bit like it's been 'enhanced' -- 
like you would a guitar. Similar to the tron at 3:08 on track 4, but, not 
really.  Also, the style of playing the tron more like a lead instrument is 
one of the main reasons I like this album.
