The Mellotron Group

Most definitely TOCCC. I also enjoy listening to any of the live 
Moodies recordings, no matter what the quality. It's interesting to 
hear how Pinder modifies his Tron parts for live performance.

I also like the sound of the Tron in the Strawbs' recordings "Grave 
New World" and "Bursting At The Seams".

The Mellotron part in Steve Miller's "In My First Mind" on 
the "Children Of The Future" album also comes to mind.

Then there's "Heart Of The Sunrise" on Yes' Fragile album and 
"The Devil's Triangle" on King Crimson's "In The Wake Of Poseidon".

I also really like Fritz's Tron recordings on "The Feeling Of Far". 
It's very up close and shows just how good a finely tuned Mellotron 
can sound without being drenched in reverb (not that I don't also 
enjoy that sound).

BTW, there's an interesting article about MM&W in the latest Keyboard 
magazine. No mention of Trons though.
