The Mellotron Group

A friend pointed me to this new release from Raphael Saadiq. Fantastic  
record and HIGHLY recommended. Raphael plays Mellotron all over this  record.

Recorded at his studio complex the Blakeslee Recording Company in Los  
Angeles, Raphael Saadiq played bass, mellotron, keys, guitar, percussion and  
even drums on most of the tracks. Opening with the stomping "Heart Attack," 
the  album’s other standout cuts include the stunning "Go To Hell," featuring 
his  studio squad of musicians who are melodically complimented by an 
angelic choir,  the evocative Dixieland number "Day Dreams,” featuring Robert 
Randolph who plays  steel guitar on the track, and "Just Don't,” which includes 
a guest appearance  from one of Saadiq’s indie rock favorites 
Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano  (Little Dragon). Also making an appearance on that 
same song is one of Saadiq’s  idols Larry Dunn (Earth, Wind and Fire), who 
plays piano and contributes an epic  Moog solo.

Flute. The whole album is drenched in it. In one of the videos you can see  
that he has a rebuilt older Sound Sales modified M400.
