EXPO and Soft Rock Compilation

In 2002 Toshiba released "EXPO and Soft Rock Compilation" as part of
their "Tea Drinking Rock" series of compilations. The item of interest
is inclusion of Tomita's rare "EXPO'70 Multiplex Sounds For "Global
Vision" promo only single that was composed specially for the Toshiba
IHI Pavillion at the Worlds Fair.

I should try to ask Nasu I guess if no one knows what, if anything the
B? side was. What is included on the new Toshiba compilation is one
3'57" cue that starts with spacey sounds and does a mixed medley of
samples of many styles of music which sound Tomita composed. It sounds a
little like cleaned vinyl rather than master tapes. Other tracks on the
album for the most part sound like they are from masters and sound
higher fidelity

The rest of the album is pop music from the early 70s. Only part of
Tomita's medley is actual pop but I guess it does foreshadow the rest of
the album. I guess it's implied it all came from Expo 70 or at least
1970 which is what I was hoping for given the neat cover art

I've run into filmscore legend Akira Ifukube's interesting Expo '70
music elsewhere, but as mentioned this compilation is just early 70s
soft rock (upbeat pop) as 13 of the 17 tracks are from 1971-1973 not
even 1970. My understanding is New Folk was the hip genre of the early
70s and this isn't it. While some of it might have seeped into the "soft
rock" here, this seems to chronicle the pleasant and commercial and
might serve a purpose of reintroducing it, I have no idea of how much
stuff is out now, though as I mentioned, I understand New Folk is
considered now to have been the music pop art of that era and there have
been lots of reissues of New Folk.
