I was wondering if I am the only one here who remembers Tomita and his music? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmSH7BsNSrM)
I have a lot of it on Cd, but I suppose it really reveals my age. Anybody else here remember this guy?

I remember. I have Tomita:Firebird in my CD collection.
Didn't Eugene Burger recommend that album for background music for a seance? (Or am I thinking of Tony Andruzzi?...or Ross Johnson?... Or do I have Burger right, but the wrong Tomita album?) Stan |

I'm not really sure on that one.
Firebird was an awesome album, though. As were all his works.

I'll have to give Firebird a spin tonight.
It's been a while since I last listened to it. |

I have almost all of 'em. Just listened to Ballet of the Chicks in Their Shells on the way home tonight.

While the name did not bring back the sound, a few seconds of Arabesque brought it all back - the start of folks like Yani and John Tesh...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1XfKnWsCrU&feature=related Here you go - enjoy - it makes a nice counterpoint to the classical music of long ago. Anyone got something to compare to the Brandenburg concertos? compare this to Arabesque : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ9qWpa2rIg

I always thought of the incredible patience he must have had in putting those pieces together.

Same with Walter (now Wendy) Carlos. They essentially had a monophonic synthesizer, and laid down the tracks one note at a time.
