Wow, I just listened to the CD. What a fun aural experience about these vintage sample players. My favorite Tron tune has to be the first track “Welcome” by (Mattias Olsson). Although it probably should of been named more aptly ” The March of the Skeleton soldiers”. Simply fabulous! Here is a sample of some music I did using acoustic guitar and the M-Tron Pro (G-Force)

I don’t own an actual real mellotron, but I own the virtual model M-tron put out by G-force and am overjoyed with the sound and samples it uses. I ordered this DVD, and it should be interesting!!

There are two places that might be able to help you with new mellotron tapes. Mellotron archives,in Calgary Canada,and Jerry Korb in Vermont,he’s the mellotron doctor,he repairs and restores them. Hope this helps.

Hi Jonathan—thank you for asking. Not yet, although eventually we will work that out. For the time being, the DVD is the way to go.

This is a great movie and one that importantly fills some gaps in not only rock/progressive music, but technology too.
I have to ad one artist who I don’t think was mentioned in the 60s classics that had a lot of mellotron- that was Steve Miller’s first 2 albums for Capitol. The sounds used on those albums really create an importance to them and the fact that they were ahead of their time or at least neck in neck with the Moodies first couple of albums. Miller strayed away from that after Brave New World and got into digital keys and the rest is history.
Now- if ONLY the WRECKING CREW MOVIE could be funded enough to come out on DVD! HELP!!!! Check out the website- PLEASE!!

Hi there, this question has been asked already but does the dvd include any subtitles? English maybe?
Cheers.

Michael, thanks for checking out MELLODRAMA—we are the DVD publisher, not Mellotron experts, but just by watching the movie it seems like you should contact an engineer in Stockholm, Sweden, named Markus Resch. Good luck!

I have seen the movie at BAFICI too! The problem for people in Argentina (and most of third world countries, I guess) is that most people here don’t own a credit card. So it would be great if the dvd be available to buy in Argentina. Another question: Does the dvd include any subtitles? (as you can see my English is not good ^_^)
Greets from Buenos Aires!

as the proud parent of mellotron #858, i wanted to thank you for your labor of love! the dvd is awesome, and after watching it three times in a row on the day it arrived i’ve come to the conclusion this fascinating movie with such cool dvd packaging cannot be shoved in with the rest of the dvd’s. this one’s is staying right on top of my mellotron! thanks again, even the mellodrama button has taken its place on my favorite jacket! this dvd is a must have for every vintage keyboard lover, or my name isn’t ‘mellotron john’ leslie hammond rhodes 111
