Mellotronists

The original version is definitely delicious.  I think that MKII was
purchased from the group Beggars Opera.  Another tidbit: PFM was recording
the add'l tracks for Photos of Ghosts at Command Studios in London in Jan
'73 while King Crimson was also there recording Larks Tongues in Aspic.

Magical.

Does anyone remember "River of Life"
by PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi)
from 1973's Photos of Ghosts LP
Pete Sinfield  - English remix, production

What model of Mellotron was used?
How did they get it to sound like that?
(awesome!!)


It sounds to me like a string synth (type unknown) dubbed over the original
Mark II. I have to say, I vastly prefer the original Italian version to me -
just pure 'Tron! And the track's nearly a minute longer - several of the
remixed versions get intros chopped, etc.
