Re: Garda jam. Warning: contains major chords.
Everyone who was physically in the room to hear it, band members and otherwise, has said "Portishead".
The Mellotron is a Roland Fantom X rack unit. Chris dicked with the patch a bit to get pitch bend on aftertouch.
Synths are pretty much all Fantom except the thing behind the piano, which is a plugin in Pro Tools doing some combination of sample-and-hold, bitcrushing and what sounds like a ring mod to me. Drums I think are all Toontrack Electronic EZX except for the '80s verbsnare that comes in toward the end.
