OK . . . . details . . . as you well may discern from the title, each track in this session will feature the unmistakable, incredibly evocative sound of the mellotron!
all of the most popular 'tron artists will be represented, like Genesis, King Crimson, Moody Blues etc... but I've also tried to throw in some unusual selections as well!
And... like all of my past sessions it will contain many tracks never before heard on S.A.
(some not even considered Prog!! ) Cool

For info on the Mellotron, go to Andy Thompson's excellent website:

Hmmm...besides what I already spilled...a few of the four lads from Liverpool will be present...as well as Mr. Wakeman, a few French & Italian Prog selections as well...and...many surprises too...! (which wouldn't be if I told you about them now) Grin

It will all be good!!

Thanks Rolling Ronnie! Cool

That could be easily arranged, though my next session will just be a general Prog affair (as opposed to the 'tron variety), I have featured Gryphon in the past & will keep them in mind.....as to the BJH, I must confess that is a group I never got a chance to get to know that well...I did run accross them quite a bit in my "tron research" Perhaps you could suggest a starting point - I hear their live album is a good place to start.

Rolling Ronnie Astral Traveller Offline Posts: 57 Gender:	Re: MELLOTRON MARATHON Reply #21 - 22^nd Aug, 2007 at 10:05am 'Live Tapes' is definately the place to start as is covers the best of several albums. Of the studio output, Time Honoured Ghosts, Everyone Is Everybody Else and Octoberon are my favorites. Still awaiting further news of the possible Gryphon reunion and new album in 2008

Actually Pno, Ange and Harmonium were featured on the last 'tron session - perhaps there will be a rebroadcast sometime after my next session (which may be coming soon) Wink
