Mellotronists

Greetings, Guys And Gals... Long Time Between Posts...

Here's something interesting... A few years back, the Moody Blues 
recorded an "unplugged" version of "Legend Of A Mind" for a tribute 
CD called "Beyond Life With Timothy Leary"... with NO mellotron!!! I 
bought the CD specificly for this alternative track... and was 
disappointed for about 5 seconds at the lack of 'Tron... until I 
realized that what I had was a 'Tron karaoke version of one of the 
greatest 'Tron songs of all time!!! I only wish I could get 
other 'tronless versions of great 'Tron classics like:(insert 
fave 'Tron song here, guys and gals...)

I'm sure that someone on this list has this CD... and the resources 
to download it to the "files"(if I had the resources, I'd download 
it myself)... why you ask??? Maybe we could download the track from 
the files, add on our own 'tron sounds, and then load the results 
back to the files for everyone to enjoy! What do you think??? 'Could 
be fun!!!

That's it... going back to "Lurk Mode" now...

Sounds like a fun idea to me.

Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
Check out new cars at Yahoo! Autos.

Sign Of The Cross was by Skafish - they do it live on the URGH! A Music 
War compilation (film, vinyl, and it's on the cd too).  It includes some 
great performances by X, XTC, Magazine, Klaus Nomi, and a totally 
psychotic performance by The Cramps.  Then there's more pedestrian stuff 
like The Police, The GoGos, and The Gary Numan...
 From what I can tell, most of it was shot/recorded in the spring and 
summer of 1980, some time before Miles Copeland heard of REM - at that 
time, the original Hib-Tone single of Radio Free Europe was probably 
just coming out.
