    I love the way Herbie Hancock uses it on the Sextant LP, especially "Hidden Shadows":

    Hey,

    I like "Nappy Head Child" by Phil Moore, Jr. on mellotron. I couldn't find a youtube clip to post. I'll rip it and post it at some point.

    Peace,

    Pretty sure there's no actual Mellotron on this ... the "harpsichord" intro is a Lowry organ and the rest is pretty much guitar-bass-drums.

    Ahhh...that's right. It's Strawberry Fields. I do love that organ at the beginning of LSD though.

    I think this video just gave me a fetish for chicks playing Mellotron. I'd blap x1000

    I always loved the mellotron on the end of this because I never even really processed that it wasn't real voices until not that long ago. I guess I never really thought about it. I also posted this in the "Favorite Outro" thread awhile back. I love the way this song ends.

    Lines Of Thought by The Rugbys has some nice mellotron. Tried to find a you tube video for it but all they have on this group is You And I, which sounds pretty identical to Ruth Copeland's I Got A Thing For You Daddy right down to the vocal delivery/cadence.

    I think 2000 light years from home is definitely my favorite mellotron song.

    I'm pretty sure the flute and tape strings in this are all mellotron:
