I picked up this CD some time back. I guess I had specific expectations
about it because i recall being dissapointed in it.

Lucky for me I'm a serious pack rat so it got shoved in amongst my other
Tomita CD's and was just shunned for about a year or so.

Now comes one of those days when ya look at all yer CD's and can't find a
single thing to play; I happened to spot it and so I dug it out andI am
pleasantly surprized... not in line with other Tomita work but it's pretty
damn cool! Some great percussion of course and Tomita's hand in it is a
definite plus.

It's funny how things like that happen. I had a similar reaction to Tomita's
"Planets" when it first came out. I actually threw the LP in the trash after
playing it the first time! Luckily, I decided to give it a second chance, and
now I consider it his greatest synthesizer album. I think the problem was
that I also had specific expectations before I listened to it, like you said.
(Or maybe I was just in a bad mood, having played Patrick Gleeson's "Planets"
right beforehand. I gave that one a second chance, too, and I think it ended
up in little tiny pieces. Holst's estate should have sued *his* record
company instead.)

Nasca Fantasy is, to me, another great album, albeit totally different. Of
course, it helps that I like Kodo--they are absolutely fantastic to see in
concert, by the way--but Tomita's contribution sends this one far above
Kodo's other albums. I love to turn it up and just let the sound wash over
me.
