You're right. It can be used in all kinds of music.Numanoid wrote:But not just Prog Rock.
One of the things that made OMD's Architecture and Morality so good is that they used the Mellotron a lot.
In hindsight it has given that synth-pop album a more timeless shine than other albums from that same era.
It's too bad Mellotron was almost completely obscure in 80s. I really appreciate those few artist who were bold enough to use it when everyone else used synthesizers and drum machines only.
Actually I've been thining to make a synth album myself. Just good old synth sounds nothing else but maybe I give Mellotron a shot. It could give it some nice edge.
