MELLOTRONEN - Progrockens Främsta (?) Kännetecken!
MELLOTRONEN - Progrockens främsta (?) kännetecken! Karl-Göran Karlsson En introduktion till boken ”Mellotron – The Machine and the Musicians that Revolutionised Rock” skriven av Nick Awde (utgiven 2008 av förlaget Desert Hearts, www.deserthearts.com, England, rekommenderat pris £19.95) 1. Inledning De flesta människor har säkert hört musik spelad med Mellotron men om man frågar någon (ja, naturligtvis inte någon av er ärade Progrock/Artrock-nördar!) om han eller hon vet vad en Mellotron är så möts man i regel av klockrena fågelholkar. D v s, de fattar överhuvudtaget inte vad man menar. När man då antyder att det är en maskin med inspelade ljudsnuttar så lyser de upp och säger ”Aha – du menar en synth! Men – än sen då, det är väl inte så märkvärdigt?”. Suck och stön, säger jag bara. De har överhuvudtaget inte fattat någonting under dessa mer än 50 år som denna märkliga maskin funnits. Men vad har jag då för fog att påstå att de flesta någon gång har hört detta instrument (eller vad man nu skall kalla det) spela? Och varför skulle det vara något speciellt med Mellotronen i jämförelse med alla dessa keyboards och synthesizers som vällt över oss de senaste halva århundradet? Om jag då ger följande två exempel på låtar där Mellotronen haft en framträdande plats så undrar jag inte om polletten till slut faller ner: 1. Beatles: ”Strawberry Fields Forever” (utgiven 1966, egentligen inspelad för Sgt. Pepper-LP-n men istället utgiven som singel tillsammans med ”Penny Lane”, finns dock även på plattan Magical Mystery Tour) 2. The Moody Blues: ”Nights in White Satin” (singel utgiven 1967 och sedan även på LP-n ”Days of Future Passed” från samma år) När det gäller den första låten så känner väl de flesta till den. -
Beyond Imagination
Beyond Imagination In January 1997, IQ began work on 'Subterranea', their sixth studio album and without doubt their most ambitious project to date. The 105-minute 2CD set would form the basis for a completely new stage show. "After we'd finally managed to release 'Forever Live', we didn't really want to release a single album studio album", explained Mike Holmes. "We felt it would have been a bit of an anticlimax after there quality and standard of the boxed set. We also had quite a bit of material kicking around." Peter Nicholls: "When we were writing 'Subterranea', I came across loads of old rehearsal tapes with ideas that we'd never finished because we'd got sidetracked by something else. There was an awful lot of material there that we felt we should have another look at." The decision to build the album around a concept was an important one for the band, as Martin Orford remembered: "With this album, it was nice to have the framework of a story to work to so that we knew the sort of pieces we had to find for particular sections." So creative were the 'Subterranea' writing sessions, though, that IQ had no need to resort to reworking unfinished ideas. In fact, two tracks, 'The Universal Scam' and 'Eyes Of The Blind', were omitted from the final album, only being released two years later on the rarities CD, 'The Lost Attic'. "Right from the beginning, this project was conceived as an album and a live show", explained Peter Nicholls. "We've always wanted to present the band on stage this way but there's always been a reason, usually financial, for not doing it. -

Long before the advent of synthesizers, this extraordinary keyboard revolutionised rock and pop music. For the first time, it brought a potentially unlimited range of sounds to a musician’s fingertips. As the world’s first sampler, its pre-recorded tapes included everything from a symphony orchestra and church choir to samba combo and rock’n’roll drum rhythms. The result is an insight into the social history of British pop and rock music—in particular progressive rock—and explains some of the reasons why British music came to rock the whole world. Top musicians, songwriters and producers chart their careers with the Mellotron, the first sampler keyboard whose eccentric mechanism led to it being affectionately called “The Beast”: Tony Banks (Genesis), Mike Pinder (Moody Blues), Ian McDonald (King Crimson, Foreigner), -

Gonzo Weekly #102
2 was able to offer to withdraw from the line-up, and an amicable decision was reached for me to do so. I am quite glad really, what I do isn’t really ‘paranormal’ (which is an expression I dislike intensely), and I doubt whether an audience of Most Haunted buffs would be very interested in my explanation of how the chupacabras of Puerto Rico is not an intergalactic vampiric entity, but can be explained using perfectly acceptable scientific terms of reference. So I find myself here this weekend instead of in Stirling. However, I have also had a few health scares this week, spent one day in bed, and fallen down quite publically on three occasions when I was perfectly sober. This is not something particularly to be celebrated, but I am not going to bellyache about it until I know whether this is something truly worth bellyaching about. Dear friends, Then, so far this week we have fostered a 10 day old baby pigeon with a deformed leg.
