Some great examples of the Mellotron being used in music today:

That Black Moth Super Rainbow track is utterly bloody awesome.

And hey who can't resist progging out with Steven Wilson (...digs out his Porcupine albums).

That Mellotron flute sound is so haunting. Kinda reminds me of early 1970's BBC children's programming where the cast could be cute wee knitted mice with their story told by a friendly, mellow toned BBC actor.

Clangers [0]. Really unique cartoon, slowpaced and fun. The knitted characters communicate with whistles, and interpreted by a narrator. They recently had a 'reboot' of the series, narrated by William Shatner of the StarTrek ... and Priceline fame.
