The Mellotron Group

Is there any better CD as far as the mellotron goes? No. The songs might not to be everybodies taste, but I have never heard the mellotron used to such good effect. If anyone on the list knows of a single CD with better and more effective playing, I would like to know what it is. Shame Woolly doesn't play like this anymore.

Worth listening to if you haven't heard it before, a bit of a curate's egg like a lot of their stuff, but definitely the best surviving recording of Woolly's playing. Galadriel, She Said and Mocking Bird are the stand out tracks as far as the tron is concerned, personally I would skip "Summer Soldier."

I don't find Woolly's mellotron playing as interesting in the later BJH and Maestoso albums although I would consider "One drop in a dry world" his finest work overall.
