The Question---not THE BEST, just my favourite. The string sounds and arrangement in the acoustic section are the best for my taste.

The best one I can think of is Simon House, on "D-Riders" from
Hawkwind's "Hall of the Mountain Grill". there's this solo in it,
played on one of the choral tapesets, I've never heard a tron break I
like better. House is somewhat underrated among '70's keyboard
players, I think, and that mellotron/heavy/gothic sound that Hawkwind
had on that album and the one after it is very pleasing to me. It's a
pity there's so little of it, really.

My vote goes to Fripp for his work on the KC album Lizard, primarily on "Cirkus" and the bolero portion of "Lizard". The sound is just magnificent.

Too bad he stopped using the MkIIs after this album, even in the studio. (Too bad he stopped using them, period. I think a few mellotron parts would relieve the tedium that sets in because of the incessant guitar "chatter" in every song they currently do.)

Of course for sheer majesty, you still can't beat "Epitaph". I listened to it last Christmas on someone's $80k stereo system with the volume set on Nuclear Meltdown. The owner of the system, who'd never heard it before, immediately went to his computer to order a copy of the CD. It knocked dishes off a shelf three rooms away and I will not repeat what his angry wife said to us.

There are so many good ones that I couldn't pick just one, so I'll
randomly pick one that doesn't usually get mentioned: In My First Mind
from Steve Miller's album Children of the Future. I really like the way
the Tron strings and Hammond sound together.

Re: Best mellotron playing ever?

King Crimson have (in the 1969-1974 period) produced the most and best
music with Mellotron. Out of their repertoire, I'd pick...
Epitaph (ITCOTCK)
In the Wake of Poseidon (ITWOP)
Sailor's Tale (Islands)
Starless (Red)
The Fright Watch & The Talking Drum (The Night Watch)
Barley Butsford & Exiles (CD3 on The Great Deceiver)

Outside Crimson, then its Pampered Menial by Pavlov's Dog. EVERY track
has Mellotron, and it's quality. Check out the vocals "...like a choir
boy on speed..." There are many others I could choose, but a posting
can only be so big!

Many moons ago I saw Pavlov's Dog and the Tron guy was playing 2 M400s and played a flute too.
Pretty stout for an opening act, in my opinion.

The Mellotron player was one Doug Rayburn. The sleeve credits has him
down as "Mellotron and Flute" only. Bill Bruford (ex-Crimson) drummed
for Pavlov's Dog's 2nd album - "At the Sound of the Bell" on a session
basis. The band are still on the go, but the tron(s) disappeared a long
time ago.

Not sure 100% but it's probably McDonald or Fripp somewhere. Maybe the last minute and a half of 'Epitaph', or the coda to the otherwise appaling 'Prince Rupert' or the protesting strings behind the run down on 'The Sailors Tale'. I've also always loved the first Pavlov's Dog Album.

Incidentally, the PD story is told nicely at http://pavlovsdogband.tripod.com/pavlov32.html where you can read this: 'As Safron recalls: "David played his guitar in the audition and I was just about to show him the door when he asked if he could sing something. It was 'The Wizard' by T-Rex. I had just gotten my passport to tour Europe with Chuck Berry, but when I heard that thing come out of his mouth I just knew I had to stick with it.'

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

I'm a fan of Pinder's mellotron work with the moodies, though I won't
stick my neck out and say he's the best.
Tuesday Afternoon (Tenor Sax and Three Violins) and Watching And Waiting
(M300B Strings?) are two high points for me.
I Also love McDonald's work on Epitaph and COTCK.

On the other hand, as much as I love Bowie, I'd have to say that his
Tron playing on Big Brother from Diamond Dogs (what sounds like some
kind of brass set played in a very staccato manner, not the eight choir
and not the waivery trumpet)is some of the most wretched I've ever heard.
johnbarrick

PS - I haven't heard that much of Barclay, Mark, so I'm not really
qualified to pass judgment on Wooly's playing. Their stuff is
surprisingly hard to find here in the states.

Best 'tron?

Yes, I agree with all of the aformentioned, but my favourite is
anything by Martin Kitkat (RIP) of Gracious!; especially the MKII
smooth church organ/3 violins on 'Heaven' (1st LP) on his MKII
Musicmaster double lead instrument. Great playing and "that sound".
His sax/vibes/brass/violins on 'Blood Red Sun' (2nd album) is a close
second.

Update, I gritted my teeth ( sorry Martin he has the kind of voice that makes me want to scream) and played all the tracks and yes there is some very nice tron playing on "Lay down your arms" and "Right next to the right one" but not a patch on Woolly.

Tangerine Dream my favorite electronic band.
Been a listener since 74, the reason I bought my Tron so if you like the soundtrack from Sorcerer, I suggest the earlier stuff like Phaedra, Rubicon (70s) and decade by decade since.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any Wakeman stuff...

I know the thread has moved from the best mellotron player to the best sounding mellotron player...

I have to put in some votes for "And You and I", "Six Wives" and lots of "Tales..."

Not great technically, but then again what is (amazing what you can do with 2 fingers...) Still, soothing to the ear...

Wooly always gets a vote... as does Tony and "Selling England..."

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Best mellotron playing ever?

2008-11-22 by Bruce Daily

OK, I'll bite...
I like Wakeman's work on "Space Oddity". The atmosphere he created with the various 'tron voices always gets to me. It's a 1969 recording, probably utilizing a MK2 (did he ever record with one after this?). KC's "Epitaph" also gets my vote, along with Pinder's "My Song".
Go ahead, bite back.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any Wakeman stuff...

I know the thread has moved from the best mellotron player to the best sounding mellotron player...

I have to put in some votes for "And You and I", "Six Wives" and lots of "Tales..."

Not great technically, but then again what is (amazing what you can do with 2 fingers...) Still, soothing to the ear...

Tangerine Dream my favorite electronic band.
Been a listener since 74, the reason I bought my Tron so if you like the soundtrack from Sorcerer, I suggest the earlier stuff like Phaedra, Rubicon (70s) and decade by decade since.

While not a fan of reverb, I think the recordings on Tales are some of the sweetest tron IMHO. I've always liked his chording. His synth/organ soloing is like my soloing, abysmal.

Also a fan of Bank's tron work, again it's a combo of recording, chording, phrasing.

Early Crimson rates high as well.

....and who can forget about the studio version of "Freebird". I will NOT let that one die.

Well I've always been a big fan of Pinder's playing, as well as Wolly, Mcdonald and even Fripp but these days Fritz's "Feeling of Far" (the whole thing) and Dickson's "Mellotronworks" I feel are astounding. As far as other past and present players they may be mediocre but I seem to like the tron on even the crappiest of songs. I love the sound of the things.

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Best mellotron playing ever?

2008-11-23 by Mike Dickson

Well, I concur on almost everything. Especially the bit about me being a
Mellotron God. Not so sure about Doddy though. :-)

As much as I may love the sound of the instrument, it CAN sound like
shit in the hands of the unwary. 'Changes' by Black Sabbath is a fairly
good place to start, where someone on a plate reverb with no idea of a
Mellotron's attack is forever about a quarter beat behind the rest of
the band. As for 'utterly out-of-tuneness' I can't see past Mannfred
Mann's hit singles which seem to be written and played in about five
microtonally different keys. At the same time.
