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) http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10165468

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!!

In reply to Michael. 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.

In reply to Jonathan. Hi Jonathan‚Äîthank 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!!

In reply to The Wizard Eibon. Unfortunately not. Wish we had a different answer for you.
