Mellotronists

Well I have one tape set that used to belong to Edgar Froese that has Church
organ / Choir / and I think Moog Modular sounds/chords.

I've never had the whole set on a rack. I only tried the first note to see
what was on there. TD once said in an interview that they had 50 or 60 sets
of tapes. If accurate, there must be a LOT of TDream sets out there
somewhere.

Regarding lasers - When I was a teenager I bought a helium neon laser from a
friend.

I decided to use it in our own garage band concerts. My friends' parents
went away for a long weekend so we jammed almost non stop for 3 days! I
bought a styrofoam cone and mounted it in on the spindle of an old record
player and forced it down so it would rotate. We then went to the living
room and removed a round chandelier crystal to place on top of the cone and
aimed the laser into it as it spun.
Presto - instant light show!. We also rented a fog machine as well. This was
way before I performed with a mellotron.

Needless to say the neighbours weren't happy!
