Heartsfield – Shine on. Not really prog, but still one of my favorite
non-prog uses of the tron.

I saw King Crimson's concert in Chicago on 26 September, 2014, and I'm happy to announce that the concert featured copious amounts of Mellotron! Mind you, these were authentic Mellotron digital samples, but they sounded absolutely glorious!! This was the set list: Drummer Bill Rieflin contributed a great deal of Mellotron to the proceedings! Folks, I've seen KC concerts dating back to LTIA, this was one of the best concerts I have ever seen, period!! Collins' presence was an obvious trigger for the revival of Poseidon's long-dormant "Pictures of a City" (the saxophonist's first recording with the group) and the Islands tracks, "Sailor's Tale" and "The Letter," all rendered with authentic scoring (Rieflin doubled on Mellotron) but treated with new flourishes – especially in Levin's bass undertow and that drumming front line.

Anekdoten's Waking the Dead, Live in Japan 2005 ... the whole album!
I have never heard any album to compare to this one for effective Mellotron use. There's an instrumental intro to "The Sun Absolute" called "Moons of Mars" on which not one, not two, but three band members are playing mellotron at the same time. Then there's all the other Anekdoten greats: "Monolith," "From Within," "Kiss of life," "Hole," Ricochet," "Gravity," and "Sad Rain." Amazing!
