Mellotron four track spotting - Images In Vogue

2010-12-14 by ClayE

I found the one song where Images In Vogue used the four track Mellotron. (borrowed from Strange Advance). Frank was working on this machine recently. What happened Frank? You can hear choir after 2:40.
Gotta love those Simmons Hexagons! If you want to sound like 1985, use that drum sound.

I'm still working on it in my spare time. Thankfully its owner is very patient (and also is a close friend)

Oh, is that what they're using? Figures, given that they were Canada's two main synthpop bands. BTW, Drew Arnott from Strange Advance wrote to me a few years back to say that the 4-Track was so unreliable, they recorded with a hired M400. :-)
