German Rail (DB) Documentary from 83 - Mellotron in Music?

German Rail (DB) Documentary from 83 - Mellotron in Music?

2010-05-29 by mlcsixand78s

There is the documentary from 1983 on the German rail (DB) site.
The music seems to contain Mellotron or similar.

The video title/description & link on page (in German)
"Partner der Zukunft - Der Kombinierte Ladungsverkehr"

Notice at 4:50 mark and at the end (closing with credits) the
sounds are very "Mellotron-ish" sounding.  :)

In case you didn't know where that came from:
OMD - Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc) 1982

Ahh! No I did not know that. Good to know. I only have one later OMD record. The earlier OMD sounds good. I've only read about them. I will have to look into getting their earlier work.
