The Mellotron...

[SnardLivesHere]

I too, love the mellotron, especially when used either "symphonically", or as a solo instrument. Some faves: Elton John's Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and several tracks on Genesis' Wind and Wuthering, like One for the Vine, and on Trick of the Tail - Ripples (one of my most-loved songs of all time)
