    Hello everybody , my name is Jaime Lage your
    fellow Tomita fan from Montevideo , Uruguay.
    I want to take your attention to the fact that many
    Tomita samples from the album The Bermuda Triangle,
    can be heard on the album Lifeforms of Future Sound
    of London. ( Virgin Records - ASTRALWERS).
    The most easy to listen is a few seconds sample from
    Close Encounters of the Third Kind , ( the alien part ),
    on track 2 , called ILL Flower (Disc 1-Lifeforms is a 2 CDs job).
    There is no sample clearance mentioned on the sleeve.
    You can hear a few others on this track from The Earth a Hollow Vessel.
    By the way , this two albums are my favorites for each artist.
    Best wishes
    Jaime

    I too have heard these and agree! FSOL should at least credit Tomita-san for
    his work on thier album.

    I and my friends are kind of annoyed by them. They seem talented but I
    don't understand why they need to use Tomita, Jarre, Vangelis, etc.
    samples. The point of using synthesizers is to make new sounds and I
    guess the point of samplers is to make existing sounds do new things.
    That one track on Dead Cities which uses the singing and melody from one
    of those new tracks added to "Blade Runner" really annoyed me.

    Unexpected Tomita tie-in:

    they just announced a new 2000 yen bank note denomination to be put into
    circulation next year. the back illustrations feature a scene from "The
    Tale of Genji" and an illustration of Murasaki Shikibu.

    Hello Jaime. I am Mario Amaya Vazquez and I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil --
    but, as it is to suspect from my name, I have close Uruguayan roots... I
    am a Tomita nut since 1980 (starting with Planets)...

    I have to add that in the same work by FSOL (not to be confused with the
    EP by the same name, which features vocals by Liz Fraser from Cocteau
    Twins), the start of Disc 2 has a very long sample from Tomita's
    Pachelbel Canon mixed with ambient sounds. On Disc 1 one can hear also a
    reworked version of a track from "Canyon Dreams" by Tangerine Dream.

    I enjoy FSOL extremely and have no problem with the use of sound clips in
    an evocative manner -- if the case is that they are credited.
    Unfortunately, it is true that they failed to credit Tomita in Lifeforms,
    although the active contributions of Robert Fripp and Klaus Schulze are
    credited in the same album.

    Best wishes!
    mav

    Indeed, some form of credit from FSOL would have been nice, I remember a
    similar thread on rec.music.ambient a while back on this topic - someone
    decided to call them the Recycled Sound of London ;-)
