Cool

GrinOf course you may...!
My answer is any and all music that features the
Mellotron
...the big names in Prog
(Genesis, King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Tangerine Dream, The Moody Blues)
, but also some lesser names you may enjoy
(Latte e Miele, PFM, Spring, Beggar's Opera, Embryo, Ange)

Nice images, HM. I'll search around for some more!

I'm sorry Max can't be here with us. I'll have be in and out--already, sadly, off to a late start listening to the session! Rebroadcasts are most definitely in order!

Two and a half hours left to go Eastern, that'd be five and a half for you, HM...

Here's the "Melloman", a variation of the Mellotron using cassette tapes! A 2005 innovation, cool looking!

And here's the Melloman opened so as to display the innards.

Meanwhile:

Currently playing track:
Mangala Vallis - Asha (Coming Back Home)

I'm really enjoying the show, HM! A lot of stuff a haven't heard before that I like--that it itself makes for a great broadcast for me--plus familiar favorites, an excellent broth!

There's a version of the later part of that piece, the piano-dominated part, with Gabriel-esque vocals added, it's credited to "Clearlight" and it's the last track on the 1st disc of the 006 KALEVALA project. Don't know exactly how the contemporary Clearlight relates to the old.

God, I wish I'd kept my vinyl!!!!

Here's the 2002 Mellotron book by Frank Samagaio. It might be somewhat out of date as they've started making Mellotrons again since then, and software Trons have been coming out like the one you posted. I think you've already linked us to the new Mellotron book, the one by Nick Awde.

MEANWHILE, here's a link to a BBC4 Mellotron video. I haven't checked it out yet, but my friend says it features Peter Sinfield, Bill Bruford, and Rick Wakeman!

Here's a "Memotron." It's described as a "digital remake" of the mellotron. Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater is really into the Memotron.

Currently playing track:
Paatos - Absinth Minded

This sounds great, and it'a all news to me.

I'll be hitting the sack shortly with hope of rejoining the broadcast for an hour or so in the late morning before hitting the road...

Thanks a million, HM! Happy New Year to you--yours is about an hour and a half away by my reckoning!

You're welcome a million back - starting to fade a bit myself - but will last to the end allright - just for a taste of that Spanish Champagne!!
Be sure to tune in upon waking!  By the time I go to bed, the Europeans will be waking - will read their comments when I wake up.

Thanks for listening - whenever I do these I discover a bunch of new music myself!! Hopefully there will be a re-run in the near future.

Cheers,


-d Smiley

 Well...we're on the last song (albeit a 27 minute song)  There's sure to be a rebroadcast soon (When I know - You'll know)
Some folks must have been away for the Holiday...hope they get to hear it!!!

Many, many thanks for the session, Don. Smiley

As usual, it proved to be extremely popular throughout. Here's looking to 'SAM's re-run' Wink

But of course can I ask my question....is there any clue for the music you will be playing Mr. Jazz  Sage? Roll Eyes
Cool

GrinOf course you may...!
My answer is any and all music that features the
Mellotron
...the big names in Prog
(Genesis, King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Tangerine Dream, The Moody Blues)
, but also some lesser names you may enjoy
(Latte e Miele, PFM, Spring, Beggar's Opera, Embryo, Ange)

Hi Mike! Well, perhaps a bad choice of words - lesser known I should have said. Certainly one of
my
favourite groups - did you get to hear the track from Per Un Amico? From the remastered disc!! Much improved sound!!
