Anyone looking for most of the Tomita BMG releases
should check out WMI Music(www.wmimusic.com) in Canada
as I recently got from them BERMUDA TRIANGLE,DAWN
CHORUS,RAVEL,and GRAND CANYON. It took a couple of
months but they do come through.They have a LOT of
Tomita listings as well as other hard to find
items(progressive rock especially).Check it out!
