Does anyone remember "River of Life"
by PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi)
from 1973's Photos of Ghosts LP
Pete Sinfield - English remix, production

What model of Mellotron was used?
How did they get it to sound like that?
(awesome!!)


It sounds to me like a string synth (type unknown) dubbed over the original
Mark II. I have to say, I vastly prefer the original Italian version to me -
just pure 'Tron! And the track's nearly a minute longer - several of the
remixed versions get intros chopped, etc.
