DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Hrmmm I might have to make this a theme for one of my raido shows next semester.
Batman Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Is the part of "And You And I" with the tubey sounding keyboards a mellotron?
CaptainMikeRS Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Many Divine Comedy songs use a Mellotron in the studio and then apply a session orchestra on stage but some of the songs include: The Summerhouse National Express Generation Sex Becoming More Like Alfie and many many more, virtually every song to be precise.
Aunt_Acid Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Posted June 30, 2005 Is the part of "And You And I" with the tubey sounding keyboards a mellotron? Yes. I love the sound of the "three violins" sound in a mellotron. If they weren't so damn overpriced, I'd get one.
Batman Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Yes. I love the sound of the "three violins" sound in a mellotron. If they weren't so damn overpriced, I'd get one. What exactly is the difference between a keyboard and a mellotron? Different effects?
Aunt_Acid Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Posted June 30, 2005 What do you mean by a keyboard? Like a synthesizer? A synthesizer uses oscillators and other types of circuitry to produce tones, and mellotrons use magnetic tape.
Batman Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Oh. So they make a different sound, I'm assuming.
Malakin Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 John Paul Jones used a mellotron on several Zeppelin songs, No Quarter and Kashmir, most notably. I read an interested interview with him who knows where anymore.. But he mentioned that he hated using mellotrons live, because they had to get all the songs that used it out of the way early in the show, because of all the heat generated by the lights and whatnot, the tapes inside would stretch, and after long, it wouldn't sound right.
Tyrion Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 Strawberry Fields Forever- Paul McCartney ..ch..gr...*gasp* It's John Lennon man. His best song and you credited it to McCartney? Shame.
Aunt_Acid Posted July 2, 2005 Author Report Posted July 2, 2005 Hey, how come you haven't put any songs in the list yet?
