I think that Mattias is on to something.

Brain Wilson is:
*white
*weighs more than he should for what he does
*doesn't always work properly
*but with adjustment can and does
*has a very distinctive voice
*is responsible for some of the most iconic sounds in pop music
*worked with his two brothers
*was out of fashion for a long time but has recently made a comeback
*sounds really great live

I could go on, but I think I've already proven my thesis:

Brian Wilson is a mellotron!

So, you see, dear Martinge, you're wrong. There isn't life beyond 
mellotrons.
