The Mellotron Group

Dear Mr Smith,

In these post modern days I should have said favourite. I can't really comment on technical ability, ( my piano playing is really coming on, but it is a bit counter productive for the tron)  but he does seem to holding a lot of keys down with an amazing layering effect. I think it's very effective and Woolly is pretty much carrying the whole band. Without him there wasn't much left.  Not common to hear the mellotron used as pretty much the lead instrument through out a song. Epitaph and the King Crimson use of tron sounds are pretty anaemic to my ears in comparsion. Haven't heard the Mellotron Song, I shall have to watch out for it.

Surprised there wasn't more support for Mike Pinder, the second best tron player of all time.

Your most humble and obedient servant

Mr Mark Pring Esq
