"We hang our memories on the shape of sound"
Brilliant quote by Mike Pinder!
-
I'm amused that he's installed an actual MkII pitch knob on both his mixing board and his midi controller.
-
Those first 7 albums were the absolute best, the heavily saturated with Melotron sounds will never be re-created.

@Sutterjack You hit it on the head my friend, I have thought that for a long time. I to wish it weren't true but that's chemistry in bands for you. BUT...thanks so much for posting this vid, as well as being a great musician, songwriter, and person, Mike Pinder has great technical knowledge on the theory's of how the mellotron in particular and electronic keyboards in general function and a very easy way of explaining it which is a talent in itself.

Got all the Moody albums from Days Of Future Passed, to Every Good Boy. No "filler tracks" on any of them. and they were democratic too, each band member getting a shot.

Learning the piano when I was young, there were two instrumental breaks that really inspired me ~ a) Mike Pinder's piano in Go Now b) Alan Price's organ in House Of The Rising Sun.

As much as I'd love to see all the boys back together I'm afraid now you'd probably end up with a "Octave" sounding record at best. As Mike says in the interview, there was a energy and chemistry in the first seven albums that couldn't seem to be recaptured when they reunited after their hiatus in the '70's--

I agree--one of the greatest things for me that came out of the interview was having a mental lightbulb go on about what Mike did to make his mellotron sound so unique.
