Can't hear any 'tron on Visions of
Angels. However, I remember being stunned by 'tron choir on an Arthur
Brown LP. I can't remember the name of it but it had track called "Time
Captives". There was heavy use of an electronic rhythm box being speeded up
and slowed down. Elsewhere there was something about eating your peas and
carrots and also something about stimulating the brain of traffic
lights...!!) This pre-dates even Close To The Edge, if I'm not
mistaken.
Kingdom Come -
'Journey', from '73, so rather later than 'CTTE'. Fantastic album, with more
'Tron than you can shake a stick at, including 'Tron Hammond. Keys man Victor
Peraino went on to fron his own version of Kingdom Come, resulting in another
Mellotron Monster in 'No Man's Land'.
I'm sticking with a
straight tie between '6 Wives' and 'Bursting at the Seams' for premier choir
usage.
