Interesting... I listened to some clips on Tomita on Apple's Music Store, 
and got the opposite impression. The Tomita stuff sounded dated and often 
cheezy to me - but that's at first listen, I think it is worthy of some 
further study. There are some albums I didn't dig the first time I heard 
them but I found liking more upon further listening.
