Are that real Mellotrons? The credits say they are, but there's no a single photo af a Mellotron inside the booklet, and somewhere I read once that Stolt/TFK only uses samples.
 
But there are good apearences of trons, especially that of choirs in "The River" .


Roine Stolt said that they have recorded in a vintage style studio full of vitnage gear. But noestly, I didn't see how the sound of the TFK improve??!! In fact I'm really disappointed by this band, I can't stand it anymore, I was curious about these new sounds but I don't why Roine Stolt teased us like that, saying that there was a bit of Transatlantic as well...

I'm not sure that they ever used a real mellotron. Spock's Beard did at the beginning by the way :)

In the late Nineties I did an interview with Spock's Beard their keyboardplayer Ryo Okumoto, it was fun to notice his enthousiasm when he talked (in very poor English, like Manuel from Fawlty Towers Wink) about his love for vintage keyboards, especially the Hammond organ and the Mellotron. If you take a look at the cover of the live CD The Beard Is Out There you see a wonderful shot of an ecstatic Ryo and his wide range of keyboards, including that white piece of furniture:

Oh yes, and this live album is so so great!!

There's a nice intro a Mellotron's choir in "The Great Nothing" but we can see in the making of V that it was not played with a real Mellotron. Bt the sound is fantastic too :)

Spock's Beard used the Hammond and the Mellotron on the USA tour but during the European tour Ryo made samples.

In fact, Ryo Okumoto used 2 mellotrons for that live album, check the other photos and you see the other one.Wink
