 Topic: your favorite mellotron 'moments'
Posted: January 06 2010 at 11:30 |
|
... you know, the brief moment in time where the hairs stand up on your neck and you turn to mush! Usually it's a crescendo, but it also can be during a tune's intro, its denouement, the final fade or even a moment of simple transition. Here are the ones that really make my mellotron boat float:
Intro: King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon
Crescendo: Genesis' Eleventh Earl of Mar
Denouement: Genesis' Supper's Ready
Final Fade: King Crimson's Sailor's Tale (those two barely audible minor chords cycling down and out after Fripp's final strum)
Transition: Moody Blues' When You're A Free Man (i.e. the chord right after "someday I hope to see you shining") / tied with Greenslade's What Are You Doing To Me's climbing chords between the verses

King Crimson's Starless. First 2 seconds before the drum join in are just amazing. Give me the goosebump each times I listen to it.
Prologue by Anglagard is awesome to, so emotional..

King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King, after the solo just as it goes back into the verse...It feels like taking flight...
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise - The crescendo during the intro jam...love the tension in that build...

One of my favourites is the intro to "Sad Rain", ANEKDOTEN's classic track.But most of my favourite mellotron moments involve ANEKDOTEN.

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience (basically 1 seat from the stage) when Genesis did their legendary shows at the Roxy Theater in LA in 1972. When Watcher of the Skies started, and the lites were out, and slowly it all sterted to coalesce, it was one of the most awe inspiring moments in my lengthy prog show history. Without a doubt, it was the peak of Mellotron heaven..........followed (but not to closely) by Strawbs opening for King Crimson, and the opening of Hero and Heroine......when Cousins stopped the song about 1/4 of the way in because the Mellotron was not working up to snuff, then starting the whole thing over. Damn that pesky primitive technology.

The title track of The World Became The World by PFM. Ok, I love the original Impressioni Di Settembre. However the Mellotron is better on the English language song, especially combined with that synthesizer. Gorgeous.
