Richard Chamberlin was interviewed extensively for the film,  and here's 
hoping that Dianna's editors didn't cut too much. I hope she  had total 
control to prevent that.
 
I think most people at this point would really want to hear the  
fascinating untold <WBR>histories behind the machines from the  original people like 
Richard, John Bra Dave Biro or Geoff Unwin  - people who were at least around 
in the golden age as this info is  much more 'underground' (and much more 
interesting - based on the  conversations I've had with them. I hope they 
each divulged at  least most of what I was told.)
 
This film can potentially fill an existing void most people aren't  aware 
of.
 
The last thing the world needs are more "Johnny come lately musicians"  
espousing about how they use the mellotron or chamberlin sounds, or how  great 
their band is because of it, or especially -  how unique  their samples are. 
I truly hope those tedious and painfully  boring interviews are kept to a 
minimum, and that all the interesting  history is finally told. Things have 
been out of balance in that area for way  too long.
 
And sorry but Kanye West's name has no place even being mentioned in THIS  
film. Jon Brion's worked with much better than him. That guy's about as  
worthy of attention as a dead cat attempting to decompose in  outer space.
