Hiya Mellotron from NZ

2002-06-04 by cdorczy

Hiay all. I have just found this group. I have owned, played, loved, 
and hated my Mellotron 400 for 10 years now. It is not in a working 
state at present, but I have just started to look into it. I will 
attempt to get it going again, as I really want to prog out at the 
moment. I have recorded 2 mellotron albums in the past, but then the 
old girl stopped working and I coulcn't find anyone to get her going 
again. Heres hoping!!!! So if any of you are in Christchurch New 
Zealand, let me know!!!! I will need the help.
Here as a little list of my 5 favourite Mellotron moments.
1-Epitaph-King Crimson
2-Fountain of samalcis- Genesis
3-Gates of Delerium-Yes
4-Out and In-Moody Blues
5-Epsilon in Malaysian Pale- Edgar Froese
Hope to hear from you all.
Cheers.
Chris.

Chris,

I couldn't help but notice one of your favorite mellotron moments 
being "Out and In".  I whole-heartedly second your opinion, "Out and 
In" (and for that matter, most of TOCCC) is is what hooked me for
life on the 'tron.  That two-note slur at the end was the clincher
for me.

Genesis' Fountain of Samalcis isn't half bad either!
