Space Fantasy/Isao Tomita
ISAO TOMITA project latest work
1978, the second work in the "Space Trilogy" that started with PLANETS, by TOMITA, who is gaining momentum with the worldwide success of "PLANETS".
Contains carefully selected tracks from ``Cosmos Fantasy'', ``Bermuda Triangle'', and ``Phoenix'' in 4ch surround.
When you think of Tomita, you think of space. TOMITA, who freely manipulates the synthesizer, has created a collection of masterpieces depicting the romance of space with a rich sense of color, now revived with new freshness!
Inspired by Disney's "Fantasia," which had a strong impact on Tomita long ago, DISC 2 includes unreleased sound sources "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "The Nutcracker," and "Beethoven: Pastoral" that pay homage to that sound world with synthesizers for the first time in the world!
This sound source was created in the mid-1980s, which Tomita himself says was the period when he was most able to use synthesizers.
It is truly a treasured sound source that will amaze TOMITA fans, and it fully captures the world of TOMITA sound, like a machine brought to life and wriggling in all directions.
