I, as well, was hugely impressed (blown awayactually) when I first heard Tomita’s Cathedral. As a young aspiring musicianheavily into Mellotron and Moog’s, this recording was a dream come true. Asan extra added bonus, the introduction to Claude Debussy’s music has provedto have been very influential to me through my life. I doubt that I would have paidmuch attention to it were it not for the way Tomita used the Mellotron (and synths)to illuminate that great music.

   Yeah, Tomita's impression of "Cathedral" really impressed me when I was a teen.  It deserves heavy 'tron treatment.

 

   Umm... Based on the ethereal sounds we get from our 'trons, would that make those voices "celestial" testicles?

OK Fritz. I'll do it. I'll commit to finish it by the end of the year. I hope that Mike is interested in adding a track or two of Russian Choir. I have the Boy's Choir but 'Cathedral' needs a choir with testicles!
