The shrunken shirt of Nessus

Ok, I promise nothing more for at least a few weeks!

A mercifully short version of "the shirt" using the Mark II 3 violins. There are a lot of things I don't like about mellotrons but I must admit that considering what a wreck #1565 is, it sounds amazingly good. It is a tribute to how well they were made and how much abuse they can tolerate. I haven't done much to it and it was in storage for 13 years before I got it. The tapes are at least 20 years old, I know they are not original, they only last 6 seconds despite being sharp. I have used very little reverb and no other sound effect apart from reducing one track to half speed and altering the dynamics as I don't have a volume pedal.
