Mellotronists

1) topical one, this. to anyone's knowledge, has a nab cart machine (like 
you'd find at a radio station) ever been used on stage, besides in the 
birotron?
2) sit down, thompson, this one's for everyone else. I just bought a cd by a 
band based in tel-aviv (apparently), with 'tron all over it. they call 
themselves "rockfour" (cheesy, huh?) and sound sort of beatley/byrdsy but 
with 'tron all over it. the 'tronists are baruch ben-izhak and noam rapaport. 
anyone ever heard of them? (not you, thompson!) the cd's great...

Rockfour used a Black and Gold MKII belonging to a guy in Tel Aviv.  It was 
originally owned by Pink Floyd and was then restored by your's truly and had 
bespoke tapes fitted.  The band have a very retro feel but we think the album 
is pretty good apart from a few tuning difficulties here and there(but not 
the Mellotron this time!)

Just so's you know I'm listening! Duncan's right - it's an excellent
pseudo-psych sort of thing, well worth a listen. One of the guys from the
band mailed me via my site, so I got the chance to ask him if their name is
a pun on 'rocquefort'. It isn't...
