Tears is one of my favorites, and everything works perfectly in that song ..

 

The Mellotron is just tossed in those other songs and makes no difference one way or another

 

I wasn't aware there was mellotron present on any album post-1980, not that I've looked closely at which keyboards Ged used (or Hugh) on which records. Frankly I've never heard noticeable keys on Snakes in the first place, and most of the songs that apparently contain them aren't very good. The mellotron is used to wonderful effect in Tears! I love how it basically gets soloed at the end and the way the chords resolve just before SFN comes on.

I'd love to have seen Tears performed just by Al with a slow electric guitar and Ged

 

All the tracks brill but my fav i think is Bravest Face, just an awesome piece

Is there one in Resist?

 

I dont beleive so, but it is hard to tell sometime.

 

If this helps I checked wiki for Test for Echo and it says Geddy plays the synthesisers, while on Snakes and Arrows it says Geddy plays the Mellotron.

 

But not positive

Great point, the ending of Tears gives me the chills with the haunting Mellotron, like King Crimson would.
