Not for me, I only heard it for the first time a
couple of days ago, I love most sounds of the
mellotron, maybe there is a problem with the remix but
the sound seems flat and shallow to me and it isn't a
chord progression that I find interesting.

I quite like some Genesis, Seven Stones probably my
favourite but they weren't a band I listened to much
first time round. In contrast I recently bought Lizard
and that remix sounds pretty good.

Anyway just a personal opinion but if the sound from
Watcher was all a tron could do, I wouldn't bother.
