2008-07-15 01:55:15 by Groon of MOG in MOG - Editor's Picks
...mellotron. The mellotron is one of the most unusual keyboards ever devised, I feel. Rather than rely on soundbanks, filters, and other things to make sounds, the mellotron operated on a tape loop system. The idea for this instrument began in the 1940's, when a guy named Harry Chamberlin decided to record himself playing things, and then...

...mellotron and hammond organ, and i think i'm in love.Haha.As Eric points out in his excellent bio of the band,this is vintage 70's sounding Scandanavian music that recalls the sounds of SINKADUS,LANDBERK and ANGLAGARD.More straightforward and less complex i'll admit,but so enjoyable.Most of this album was recorded live in the studio by the...

Thanks to a Portuguese PA friend (you know who you are) I got a copy and was finally able to listen to this highly acclaimed and most progressive Portuguese progrock...

...mellotron. Haha.Yes mellotron is all over this one,along with plenty of synths and spacey sounds.Vocals are in english and suit this psychedelic music just fine. "Isle Of Kawi" is the longest track at 11 minutes.It opens with spacey sounds that are joined by a quickly strummed guitar.The guitar stops a minute in as spacey sounds...
