    Thanks for the advice. I don't know how far they'd get - they only know
    that Tomita exists because of me - so I doubt BMG are going to get
    floods of letters, but it's worth a try :)

    I've found and have vinyl copies of the "best of" albums (there are
    several to choose from :) ) and the "Mind of the Universe" on CD.
    "Pictures at an exhibition" was the second CD I ever bought (shame on me
    that the first was ZZ Top).

    Strange that I own all of those except Bermuda Triangle, which met its
    death thanks to a two year old, a record player set to run at 78RPM and
    a very sharp-clawed cat named Suzy, set to run in every other direction
    :-( Thinking about it, all the CDs are rotting, so I'd better get 'em
    MP3'd sharpish anyway, before they go the same way as B. T.

    To ask the obvious question, why do those works "obviously" confound
    people?

    Thanks for the info Nick.

    He sold enough that there should be some floating around the used
    market. I heard one and I don't think I made it through the whole album.
    It suffers from an 80s sound as I recall. "I'm making all this cool
    music with all this hi-tech gear", but my memory is growing hazy. There
    are a lot of these kind of albums, he's more rare in that he did like 3
    of them.

    Bob James who wrote the theme music to the TV show "Taxi" did one album
    of Couperin and one of Scarlatti. There's one great track on the
    Couperin album, but in general he lost the life and delicacy these
    pieces need.

    The thing a lot of people forget is you really have to articulate and
    tweak on a note by note basis, far more than just using velocity...
    though a surprising number of interpreters don't even get that far.
    While its possible to overcome the limitations of expressive lack on
    polysynths and monosynths a lot of people don't even bother, the novelty
    of doing it on a sequencer and hearing their patches seems satisfying
    enough to the music maker but not to the listener. Thats always a trap.
    A lot of electronic music gets made beacuse its satisfying to make to
    the maker, a lot of the stuff that brings quick thrills and sounds neat
    the first time has little staying power.

    --------

    As for the rights, they seem to be still owned by BMG (he signed with
    RCA in New York, not Tokyo).

    Notice how Carlos got all the rights back. What isn't as well known is
    Carlos has a long time relationship with a New York lawyer, which helps
    a lot in these matters.

    Now BMG did just release the Snowflakes remaster (apparently without
    bothering to contact the Master, though), so they haven't forgotten.
    Maybe all your friends should contact BMG and say "we liked the orbit
    album, look it was a chart hit, but we hear Tomita might be even better,
    how come we can't find any albums"

    Actually the early ones and the best of and live ones shouldn't be that
    hard to get. Its obviously Bermuda triangle, Daphnis/Bolero, Grand
    Canyon, Dawn Chorus/Cannon that confound people (and the all synth
    soundtracks). The Classical ones should rightly be re-releasable,
    recently they are hard to get even in Japan.

    Could be Don Dorsey. I came across him on this web site:
    http://www.viklund.com/actual/cds1.html

    The two albums listed are "Bachbusters (1985)" and "Beethoven or Bust
    (1988)".

    Must be a bit on the rare side - I've searched for more info on the guy
    but generally drawn a blank. I've even been a tad naughty and tried a
    napster search, but I've only found the track "Italian

    Hello,
    I think this is a wonderful idea! How many musicians are there on the list
    by the way?

    I'm currently trying to complete enough music for a CD release myself, and
    I'm only at the: "Man, I've got a lot of work ahead of me!" stage. I say
    this because I think to do a Tomita tribute would be very time intensive. In
    addition, it would take a lot of chops (synth sound design, recording,
    musical interpretation, and keyboard skills). I wouldn't mind trying, but I
    can't guarantee anything! Especially since I can't read music, so it would
    have to be done by ear... (shudder..)

    Be afraid... be very afraid, ; )

    Yes it would be cool to hear a lot of people try,

    the deeper analysis is, would it be a tribute to Tomita or a lot of
    synthesists giving a good shot at classical music on synths? You know,
    as you begin to sound like he sounds it only highlights more that he's
    in a different league. If by contrast you do your own quite different
    personal interpretations then its the classical music you are paying
    tribute to, but its perhaps more rewarding.

    I once tried to do a ARP version of some Bartok. It sounded
    like Atari psychosis. I agree it would be hard to make
    a tribute album that didn't sound like pastiche or Tomita or worse.
    But it would be cool to hear people try.

    A good idea but the approach is a little different since the pieces we
    are the most fond of are famous classical pieces Tomita is doing his own
    versions of.

    He of course has many pieces well known to Japanese TV viewers (like the
    Tezuka tribute album "Atom Kids" had several of his themes), but I doubt
    many westerners know these pieces, which also don't have heavy use of synths.

    I mean there are a lot of apporaches, but I don't think a number of
    them would be suitable. Surely if any of us try the same pieces they
    would sound sorry in comparison -- sound card city. Not that it has to
    take that approach. One could go for a general "inspired by" approach
    which might be loose enough to work. Its very interesting, but when it
    comes to classical music there is a certain dread on my part since thats
    exactly what's facinating about Tomita, he can do it sucessfully, but
    besides a handful of loose pieces by other artists and Carlos, the
    success rate is very low. Not that I'm against it, but the angle to
    approach it is critical.

    I don't follow

    > Bought the William Orbit "Pieces" CD today but haven't had a chance to listen to it, anyone know what's on the second CD in the 2 CD version?

    the second CD is the Adagio in dance remix (the U.K. single). They often
    do that in the U.S. with artists who are kind of unknown but have a
    sucessful single overseas, they throw it into the album release to boost sales.

    I bought the album some months ago, after a couple spins I can't say I'm
    particularily drawn to listen over and over. It is quite interesting
    though how he takes the Barber "Adagio for Strings" a piece that's
    filled with loss and longing and plays it ruthelessly cold and
    expressionless. So while that approach would heve been lame with just
    any piece, it produces almost a friction that is effective. I know
    Sakamoto recorded it about 10 years ago. I haven't heard that track
    since it was left off the non-Japanese pressings.(the album is "Beauty").

    His version of the John Cage piece offends me since his subtly at odds
    with the music approach happens to embody exactly what Cage was against
    (trite little poppish melodies, pretending to be aleatory when its
    actaully more predetermined than not).

    Conversely his Satie was pretty much in the spirit of the composer.

    draws a blank, so I can't comment.

    A lot of people have a couple of these things in them, trouble is they
    don't work it until its expressive let alone good.


    as for Dawn Chorus, this is not a good time since I don't think it can
    be ordered any more.

    I found it at the big serious record shops in Tokyo last november (not
    the Tower type places but older type establishments)

    now you really have to find a place where they have copies already in
    stock. Thats unlikely outside Japan. maybe it will be reissued though

    I would be VERY interested in contributing to a Tomita album.

    BTW, does anyone know where to get the "Dawn Chorus" CD at a reasonable price? I've been looking for it for MANY years without any luck. Thanks!
