Mellotronists

Bernie,

"Calling Occupants" was done on an M400, not a MKII.  I did an instrumental 
version a few years back on my M400 and the Mellotron sounded pretty close 
(except for the backwards intro I threw in there).  I had the MP3 out on my 
"TronSounds" web site for a long time before the site went down.  Let me know if 
you'd like to hear it, I'll send you the MP3.

I think the name of the first Klaatu CD was 3:47 EST, and it had a big 
picture of the sun on it.  Their best stuff was on that album (CD).  Along with 
"Calling Occupants", a song named "Dr. Marvello" featured Mellotron (flutes & 
3-violins), but I can't recall any others with Mellotron.  "Subrosa Subway" is 
another great song fron that CD,and "Little Neutrino" has some interesting synth 
sounds.  None of their other albums featured Mellotron (excep for a snippet 
here and there), or had songs as great as the first one, IMHO.
