The Mellotron Group

Sadly, the Ethos I saw had only Michael Ponczek on keys live as Duncan
Hammond had left the band. As I recall, Ponczek live, played the Chamberlin
(although I had no idea what a Chamberlin was in 1978 or 9), Polymoog, Mini
Moog and probably a B3 and Rhodes and guitarist Wil Sharpe played an M400 on
occasion.  I remember speaking to Wil after the gig about the Mellotron as I
was a fanatic for anything Mellotron related in those days. Nice guy and
great band.

That would have been cool - did they have the twin keyboardist set-up? The
second album was fairly tron-less.

That's the first time I can remember anyone mentioning Ethos on this list!
Great band- saw them live back in the day.

Yes - aside from all the incredible work by the FOML* (many humbling bows to
you excellent arteurs), I would vote for the Ethos Ardour album - two
keyboardists: one with a Mellotron and one with a Chamberlin - and awash
with sounds, including the winner of the coveted Tronny in the category of
Best Use of the Chamberlin Female Voice sound.

That would be hard to deny.
