Indeed Stonebeard, excellent choice, just watch their Eighties Super Channel concert DVD and enjoy the Mellotron M400 work Approve !

Also, IQ would be a great option. One of the few big league Neo bands to widely use classic prog instrumentation. Clap

Barclay James Harvest their Seventies keyboard player Woolly Wolstenholme is the most underrated Mellotronplayer of all times, a big hand for him ClapClapClap !

I am right, Andrea C.?

Schicke, Fuhrs and Frohling... their use of the Mellotron is unique

I don't know Harmonium so I'm at a disadvantage there. Porcupine Tree - nice choice Stonebeard. Genesis is an obvious choice as is Moody Blues. King Crimson - yes but a bit limited I feel. I'm going to be really boring and go for Yes/Wakeman because I think he/they did use the Mellotron in a great way, even if not quite as adventurous as some others.

I'll go with Porcupine Tree for a change of pace. Cool
