PFMがMellotron導入の切っ掛けとなったBEGGARS OPERA。

The Mellotron
FRANZ – We were in Riccione and one evening we went to "Beggars Opera" concert. We discovered that they owned a strange instrument which was able to create incredible sounds. We had already heard it in King Crimson and other English bands LPs. It sounded like a whole orchestra and we were crazy about it. We decide to buy it directly from the "Beggars Opera". We had to employ the only person from their staff who was able to use it end repair it, because the Mellotron was a very complicate instrument. It was not easy to move daily, as it was like a recorder with many tapes supported by springs. Its keys could move every tape, but unfortunately the tapes could tangle very easily every time the Mellotron was moved. It had to be handled with care and after every movement it had to be set up otherwise it sounded like an angry marine cow! Every time we had to move the Mellotron it was problem, it had to be treated like a relic! Anyway it looked really extraordinary, because it was an enormous woody catafalque! People could not help looking at it. We used the "magic relic" for the first time in Rimini, at "L'Altro Mondo" club.
FLAVIO - Since our first live performance we used to leave each other some time to improvise. That night in Riming I improvised with the Mellotron and its magic sonorities touched everybody. Emotion made all us shivering.
Franz - Yes that is true, we all had goose flesh! I have to say that PFM's sound owes a lot to the Mellotron. We discovered many surprised recorded on the tapes: the famous guitar scale from the Beatles' Bungalow Bill on the first key, a hit from The Moody Blues on the second one etc. In "La Carrozza di Hans" we used some violin chords and the final effect was really unbelievable.
FLAVIO - Insieme al Moog, il Mellotron è uno degli strumenti che più di ogni altro ha segnato la storia della PFM e credo anche la mia vita di artista. Non che io rinneghi il pianoforte o la mia prima fisarmonica, ma con essi ho un rapporto quasi di odio-amore.
Durante la mia infanzia e la mia adolescenza ho passato così tante ore a studiare Bach o Mozart che mi è impossibile dimenticare quei sacrifici, sicuramente ricompensati dalla grande fortuna di potere fare musica tutta la vita, sacrifici che però mi hanno fatto rinunciare ad un sacco di partite di calcio con i miei amici.
