HOLST GOES ELECTRONIC
1 of 1 found this helpful I've been wanting a digital copy of TOMITA's 'The Planets' for quite a while now. I've always been a fan of the Moog Synth sound but they always seemed to be used on very cheesy 1970s budget albums or excellently but relatively sparingly used on rock music - ELP and YES come to mind and TANGERENE DREAM had their own special style, but I longed for a more musically based imaginative use... Enter the Japanese musician Isao Tomita and his masterful electronic reworkings of many classical pieces. Although I didn't discover his music until the late 1980s with his seminal Debussy album 'Snowflakes Are Dancing' I tried to find out more about him but not many people could help. Once the internet & computers became more widely availble I discovered he had recorded other works including 'The Planets'. Being a fan of the classical work, first by Andre Previn & The Halle and lately the Berliner Philharmonic version conduted by Sir Simon Rattle I just had to have the Tomita disc.
I found it on eBay going for a song and it's just sunblime. Tomita has kept fairly close to the orchestral arragement we all know and love but his use of swirling background motifs to suggest outer space, treated white noise to suggest swirling cosmic wind and spacship movement just draws you in. His imaginitive use of stereo makes you feel as though you are in there with him in space amongst the planets.
