The Mellotron Group

Facts about how Mike Pinder used effects on his mellotron was a technique called "spanning". He used one channel "dry" and the other with pure reverb. It then spans across the sound stage. 
      Sounds like they are doing the same here. Listening closely I heard the right side first then the left causing this "spanning" effect. That's my take.

A question for those with talented ears: I'm going to put some Tron down on a tune recorded by a mate, and I was hoping to get a sound similar to that which Bob Ezrin pulled off on Caroline Says II on Lou Reed's Berlin. Trouble is, I've tried a few things and nothing sounds quite like it.

Here is Ezrin doing his thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TOlgGUcWaE#t=90

Obviously it's double tracked, but there is something very odd about the filtering. Anyone got any ideas?
