Hello

Have you heard of Jacco Gardner? He's called "the dutch son of Syd Barrett" and you'll instantly know why if you hear his first single.

I really like it and the album is swimming in Mellotron.

Though it's nothing new (it's almost a copy of the London sound 1966-1969) it's worth listening, and as there is no "hype" in the alternative commercial market at this time, he might be the start of the "new psychedelic sound", as a radio DJ here in Belgium stated last week.

I don't think he's playing Mellotron live, but the tron on the album is a real one (at least, that's what my ears say)
