Uploaded here as requested by a few of the folks over on the Cardiacs Facebook group.
This is the exact Mellotron M400 Tim Smith used for the Whole World Window album (of which he sampled for future Cardiacs albums) so it only felt right to put this video together. Even if somewhat rough, it’s one I’ve been meaning to do for years!
And a bit of side note trivia. This used to be owned by Adrian Wagner, then Martin Orford of IQ (and it was at this time that Tim borrowed the thing to record), before being sold onto Clive Nolan of Arena/Pendragon and living at Thin Ice Studios where it was in the company of everyone from DragonForce to Threshold to Ayreon before good timing and an incredibly lucky heads up from a close friend lead to it ending up in the land of KYROS / Old Street Studios.
Serial number 1713 for you Mellotron nerds out there. 🤓

OH MY GOD IT WAS A MELLOTRON ALL ALONG!! I've been trying to figure out what keyboard they used on all those songs, feels so obvious now. Thank you so much!!

SAME. I loved the ethereal-sounding choir/string sounds on that album and was eager to learn what keyboard they used. Makes so much sense in hindsight yeah :P

It's incredible. An instrument with a lot of history and I just happened to find this video on the internet and saw what made the sounds in my all time favorite songs!

Thanks for the incredible Mellotron history! We have M400 Mellotron (s/n 489) and still use it as often as possible in or recordings. (Found on our RU-vid channel) My Mellotron was owned by Mark Dahlgren who played it on the rare Albatross album, and it's on the Violent Femmes album Rock!!!!! (played by Sigmund Snopek. I had sold it to Sigmund and later bought it back from him.)

HereIsShelby, Thank you so much!!.. that was epic.. really well-played and with an understandable passion ....loving the air drums!.. such a cool video.. not to mention showing us the mellotrons under-carriage.!! Pure filth! I didn't discover the Cardiacs until about 10 years ago and I'm still feeling like 'Whhhy!? why the fuck did nobody tell me about this band sooner! '

Looking at the end makes me wonder if the "simple chords story" is true. (That Tim just used major and minor triads). Visually, what I'm seeing is triads running up the tapes, but connecting together for brief "fancy chords" - maybe - at each change - with a minimum of four notes appearing briefly, and sometimes five. So maybe it's more a case of "fancy chords used sparingly"? (So made more special by their brevity.) This is just a guess/ hunch/ ignorant question raised by seeing how many notes are climbing their vines at a time, that's all.
