The Mellotron Group

Yeah, I"m with Clay here.  I think the amount of generic mellotron atmosphere in music of the 60's and 70's far outweighs the exceptional use of the machine.  It's just a color, not a painting.

Are you on DRUGS Chris?  If someone wanted to be adventurous live or in the studio using a new digital Mellotron, there is nothing holding them back.  

"only...a generic Mellotron atmosphere" <- WTF is that?  You are suggesting that the new digital Mellotron will be a poor substitute for the real thing.  That's just nonsense.
