RE: [newmellotrongroup] Wondering about "choir" in ELP tune

2010-04-30 by John Wright

Ok, I admit I'm a KE fan and like a lot of ELP stuff, hold all lyrics
though.  Mike is right, lots of "borrowed stuff especially on the Nice
albums, but I love his Hammond playing.

I will never steal anything from ELP

	KE never used a Mellotron on anything by ELP. He hated the idea
of 'stealing someone else's music', which is ironic.

		Hi All,
		 
		I pulled out ELP's Works I last night and noticed while
listening to C'est la vie pretty extensive use of a "choir"
sound/sample. I'm just not sure if it's a Tron or not. The primary
keyboard on the album is the GX1, but I don't know if it's capable of
that sound. Anyone know what made that "choir" sound?
