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. On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 2:13 PM, Tom Doncourt <tomdcour@amnh.org> wrote: > The Question---not THE BEST, just my favourite.
