Mellotron "They're an absolute cunt to maintain in a usable condition, but what else can make that delicious, dreamy sound?" It's so true... The Mellotron is like the Angel Delight of the musical world (in that it's dreamy and delicious.. not in that it's hard to maintain, particularly). I spoke to Thijs van Leer about them when Focus came to Aberdeen but I can't remember what he said because I was struggling with star struckness. As for songs, Kites by Simon Dupree and Entangled by Genesis are both great.. gotta love some of the Rick Wakeman stuff too.
