Mellotronists

I met Jasun Martz at NEARfest this year. He admitted to me that he does not  
own a Mellotron and that he used samples for his CDs, "The Pillory" as well as 
 on his latest CD with 140 or so musicians and who's, title I cant manage to 
care  about.. This guy is on ebay claiming his CDs are the "Holy Grail" for 
Mellotron  enthusiasts. If you need 140 musicians to cover your lack of talent, 
you are far  worse than I am. I can get by with one or two usually.
 
Let me first say, in response to his claim, that Jasun Martz is a nice  guy. 
Jasun Martz is also full of shit. I think that I can also say, as a amateur  
critic, that the Pillory is crap! I don't care is Jasun licked Frank Zappa's 
ass  hole back in the day. That CD, which I happen to have listened to all of 
the way  through at least one time, is actually the "Holy Grail" of wasted blank 
CDs. It  pales in comparison to anything Mike Dickson ever did and Jimmy's 
and Ken's CD  also blows it away. I have never heard anything from anyone on 
this list as bad  as his crap.
 
"The Pillory" is a good title. Because that is where you would have to put  
the average listener to get them to listen to that CD. Although it is OK in a,  
"I think I'll get some folks to help me see if all of these different  
instruments work and  I guess I'll record it while I check 'em out..." kind  of way.
 
Oh, and by the way, I'm selling a official state of the art, 'back  then,' 
original Mellotron tape frame carrying case on ebay, which is where I  noticed 
the "Holy Grail" of Mellotron CDs.

PS. Remember folks... stretching the truth is one thing. Lying is  something 
else altogether. Well, not exactly... so disregard that. That's  actually 
stretching the truth. No.. that's lying... Or am I stretching the truth  by saying 
that?
