CD Reviews

Historic synthesizer - artful and soulful interpretations of

Steve Stanley | Berkeley, CA USA | 01/11/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album, like Switched On Bach by W. Carlos, is a pioneering synthesizer work.

I remember how amazing it sounded when it came out in 1974.

Listening to it now, I am impressed by the soulfulness of interpretation Tomita achieved with an unwieldy electronic instrument. (single-voice only, I believe; multitracked on analog tape! There's a photo of Tomita on the back cover that shows him surrounded by racks of electronic equipment.) Somehow, despite the slow, highly technical process of generating and recording this, he finds an expressive range from the ridiculous (Golliwog's Cakewalk) to the Sublime (Engulfed Cathedral).

Well worth a listen."

Brilliant!!

"This is what will always remain as good from the musically amazing 70's. So much good music and so little time. Check this out if you value innovation."

SUPER EXCELLENT

"DEBUSSY'S classical music done on analog synthesizers. The tape of this album is how i got addicted to this music. since i avidly listened to jean-michel jarre's electronic music and wanted to hear more similar sounds. then someone gifted me a tape of this. this was different than jmj. had never heard either debussy or Tomita before. had to get this cd version later and others. listen to it a few times and u will love it. the sounds of these synths can be reproduced in propellerheads reason software. the maelmstrom synth module."
