released on DVD this autumn, haven't seen or heard anything about it
further!

Hi Hessel 

Does anyone know if the Mellotron Documentary "Mellodrama" is available on
DVD already?

Any of you seen it already? Any good?

Don't know whether it's on DVD yet (doubt it), but yes, I've seen it. Some
fascinating footage, some, er, less fascinating, and a fairly amateurish
vibe about the whole thing (wildly variable sound quality/background noise
etc.), not to mention loads of factual errors. And why bother interviewing
people who openly admit they only use samples? Odd. Best interviewees? A
couple of the American Chamberlin guys (Patrick Warren and Jon Brion
especially) and our very own Mattias Olsson. Worth seeing for some of the
insights, though, not to mention the footage of a Chamberlin's internals...
