ProgMaster Stellar Owner Offline Stellar Attraction Posts: 3,777 British Isles Gender:	Re: 24hr MELLOTRON Re-Run is Afoot!!! Reply #14 - 8^th Jan, 2009 at 9:23pm It's a very, very mixed-bag, Alan. Whilst some of the material may lean towards 'Jazz / Fusion' (DJ HM is after all, our resident 'Jazz Sage') there are a lot of familiar faces in the programming. As the title suggests, it's the wonderful Mellotron that's the focus here.

Glad to hear you've been listening Alan! A little curious as to what you've purchased if you're keen to share Wink

Yes, I paint with a very wide Prog brush - teetering over the edges into Jazz and Classical at times (other times just

wierd

)

Be sure to check it out in the morning! It's a 24 hr party Smiley

here's a feline mellotron for you Dan Grin

Haven't been checking posts lately so didn't know about the rerun...***really would have appreciated an Email about it!*** In any case, what matters is that I'm HERE and have been listening for some hours...and it's been GREAT! Sam's doing a nice shuffle of it!

And meanwhile, yes, HM that has got to be THE BEST MELLOTRON PIC EVER!!! As you probably know I love cats...Where ever did you get that photo???

Purchase list was:

"Bedside Manners Are Extra"
Greenslade

"Hatfield and the North"
Hatfield & The North

"The Rotters Club"
Hatfield & The North

"Greenslade"
Greenslade

"In the Land of Grey and Pink"
Caravan

"Once Again: Remastered"
Barclay James Harvest

"In the Court of the Crimson King"
King Crimson

All records found by clicking on a link of something that was playing and then seeing what else Amazon had to offer. I have all the Greenslade and the King Crimson on vinyl - the others were speculative (I remember Caravan from the 70's).

As do I !!!
I've been 'listening' to the session at work today by copying the playing order from this website:

http://s1.viastreaming.net/7170/

It shows the last ten tracks play, so I just kept adding the playing order to a Windows Media playlist (see pict at bottom)
This website is blocked unfortunately (as is anything with the word 'radio' )

I have to say, without tooting my own horn too loudly, that SAM has done a blistering
job of mixing - especially the last half of the session!
Thanks for all your great comments everyone - hear's to next time!! Smiley

Cheers,

-Hm Smiley

P.S. If interested, I'll post the entire playlist (in the original running order) in a separate thread

I'm also thinking about Harmonium's 'le corridor' Roll Eyes

Giving me ideas for the next Mellotron session??? Roll Eyes

Unfortunately I don't have that particular Ange album - the Planet Mellotron website concurs tht it is one of their better albums for Mellotron use. I will look for that Harmonium disc - don't have that one either. Undecided

Thanks again for listening and you're great comments. SAM sure did a great mixing job - I even liked his running order in some places far better than mine - was very enjoyable to hear a fresh mix!

Cheers Pno

HM is a 'Guest DJ' here at S.A., Alan. Compiling sessions and special programming as and when, which in turn are played.

I'm responsible for the day-to-day playlist and programming and the occasional session of my own. All of the hardware, bandwidth, and servers are owned, run and paid for by myself.

Ahh right. Yes, I click on the album cover - that takes me to Amazon USA (useless for me) and from there, I extract the album info, go to amazon UK and order it.

However, I also check out the bands web site. If they have shop, I will try and buy from there first. I got all my IQ albums from GEP for example.
