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. 🤓
