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.
