The Mellotron Group

An 80's Diamanda Galas recording cranked up will do the trick as well. :-)

Cheers,

Robert

Thank you, Ben.  It happens.  Hopefully he can clear it out easily and it goes
 no further than that.  
 
 It's ALMOST (not quite, I'd guess) as bad as mice living in
 your Mellotron!  I like mice an' all that, but
 there's better housing for 'em elsewhere, right? 
 
 Speaking of the CMaj 7th chord that's "scary," once
 many years ago, I put together an original tape of creepy,
 spooky music for Halloween, to play loudly enough it would
 be audible outside our open apartment door. At the time, we
 lived in a great little compound in Hollywood, with single
 & double-story apartments all opening into a central
 courtyard, perfect for parties and Halloweenies and other
 such madness. (We even called it "Rancho Beyondo"
 & to this day, some of those neighbors are still best
 friends.) So my tape was LOTS of Mellotron, with MiniMoog, lots of effects,
 with spooky, echoey vocal stuff added, I'm sure. Our
 problem was that my wife & I didn't have anyone come
 to our door, though we saw them outside in the courtyard. We
 finally went out & asked our neighbors if they were
 getting kids at their doors. They all were, but they
 explained to us that my music was scaring them and no one
 dared knock! HA! I did it a little "too well," I
 guess.  I turned it off... we started getting
 Trick-or-Treaters almost right away. Hmmm...
 
 Mellotron's a very powerful instrument!  (-:
