The Planets Isao Tomita

[sbbl1]

Imogen was a stuck up pratt who robbed the world of this great piece of work for a long time,and they are not musical purists they toffee nose snubs who think they are better than everyone else

I bought the original album in the UK but Holst's daughter, Imogen, got a court injunction to get the album banned. She said that TOMITA had destroyed her father's music. After she died the injunction bacame invalid and the album became widely available. TOMITA has always been very inventive and this is one of his best works.

i actually sort of agree with imogen, but thats no reason for this to be banned.

@X9ShortFilm - It was banned and became a collectors item till Imogen died and the injunction became invalid. Musical purists frown on people like Tomita/Kitaro/Klaus Schulze/Vangelis etc

Bought this when it was a 33 1/3 record back in the 1970's. Now that I was able to see a few rockets take off at Cape Canaveral this is still awsome.
