Mellotron Infatuation

2011-08-22 by trolldelux@aol.com

RE:  OK, now that we have you, fess up. What's your infatuation with Mellotrons?
 
This is a rhetorical question, right?  Until the wonders of the Internet, I had to bore anybody who looked knowledgeable with questions about the excellent sound on a few select 60's songs (for that is my era).  The songs were '200 light yrs from home", and most of the songs on "days of future passed' (except nights in white satin, which I am sick of); pr'haps a few others.  This led to King Crimson, Genesis, and a few others until the dark ages of the late 70s closed over us.
