Mellotronists

The thing that makes the beginning of In the Wake of Poisiden so great is the 
sumptuous ending of Cadence and Cascade immediately before it.
Try that lying down in a darkened room!

Can someone out there please tell me why Nobody EVER mentions one of 
the most outstanding uses of a mellotron EVER? For me it has got to 
be John Paul Jones on "The Rain Song".. Before I even knew that it 
was a mellotron making all of that music it had me completley in 
awe.. Its a beautiful Jimmy Page composition no doubt, but without 
the Mellotron it just wouldnt be magic.. I know alot of you out there 
got yer first taste of the Mellotron by listening to all of the 
classic prog bands , and they certainly contain some fine examples of 
classic Tron.. But not even a mention of this piece?!! I really love 
when the intro bit repeats, after the instrumental break,  and the 
Cello follows... Always touches me.. Oh well let my rant fall upon 
deaf ears.. I mean,  you mentioned Billy Joel and Elton John's use of 
Tron before this one?!!

Probably one of my first 'Tron moments, although you can't see JPJ playing
it in 'The Song Remains the Same'. Prefer the live version, myself - less
'cheesy' arrangement, particularly on guitar.
