Mellotronists

Speaking from personal experience I rarely "get" a new CD at the first 
playing. Usually by play 5 I'm synched and reveling in the music.
That was not the case with "the Lamb" as I heard it first live and it 
certainly remains on my top 10 list, really closer to top 5.

I don't have a problem with drum machines as long as they are one of the 
good ones. I sold my TR-808 for a digital unit and have been trying to get a 
Roland back ever since! If you have a mint 808 contact me privately, please.
