Mellotronists

<< It is the one I am playing on the picture of me on the tronpage site. Went 
to Israel.. >>

is this the machine that's in tel-aviv, & all over the rockfour albums? 
played, at least, by one noam rapaport. anyone who likes the byrds, the beatles, 
brian wilson or the dukes of stratosphear ought to give rockfour a spin. there's 
even a hint of neil finn about some of the songwriting.
I saw them in london at the end of 2003- charming chaps. the singer (eli) had 
auditioned unsuccessfully to be the hebrew voice of spongebob squarepants, 
the famous nickelodeon cartoon character, & he was mortified when I brought this 
up in front of his bandmates.... I had visited the studio of uzi fox, a 
former israeli popstar now running a post-production facility, whilst on a 
due-diligence mission on behalf of viacom....

what I DIDN'T know was that rick wright had actually owned the machine.... I 
have all the floyd albums up to "animals" (the last one that's not completely 
dominated by waters' ego) & they must have switched the 'tron on about three 
times in total. there's a fair bit on "atom heart mother", isn't there?
