Yeah, as soon as Tomita started forsaking his Moog in favor of the Con Brio
and other digital stuff, it seemed like the life went out of his music. I
haven't even heard his last bunch of albums... now I understand there's a
Japan-only release of him doing Bach? I can't imagine what that's like. His
sensibility was more the "watercolor/impressionism" which worked well with
his free tone colors, contrasted with Carlos being more precise and doing
Bach. Now Tomita's doing Bach? I shudder to think.

But I could listen to "The Planets" forever.
