Julien,
I love the sound of mellotron, and this is a really beautiful piece!
Thanks for posting it. That bit around 3:50 gave me chills. When the
sample library you used becomes public, please let the list know...
I've been looking for a good free tron library. :)

I'm remembering what someone shouted out at ProgFest in L.A. in 1993 when Anglagaard
finished their first song: "MORE MELLOTRON!!!" (This was before the whole
"more cowbell" meme came about). A friend of mine had lent the band his
Mellotrons-- they didn't bring theirs over on the trip.
Very nice piece! Nice to hear a whole orchestration done solely with Mellotron samples.
Yes, doing parallel 5ths almost anywhere in a piece makes it sound to Westerners like
Chinese music. I'm not sure why.
