This is beautiful. Debussy my favorite impressionist and my favorite piece of his. Masterly rendered by this genius Tomita. I am sure Isao knew exactly what was going through Claude's mind when he composed Reverie... My imagination used to travel far away every time I listened to this song and all the album, back in early 80s.
My favourite album since it first came out. My favourite all time piece by Tomita is his rendition of "Ave Maria" which is here on U-Tube. Thanks for posting.
In October 1981, I was on a navy ship, and we were anchored at Farillon de Mendinilla, a small island north of Guam used by the navy as a bombing range. (I had bought "Tomita's Greatest Hits" a couple of months earlier in Hawaii and was absolutely smitten by "Reverie.".) The engineers were doing drills, the boilers were shut down, we were at anchor. Silence. Not a cloud in the sky. The stars were as thick as the hair on a dog's back. Pure sonic ambrosia before next day's stark reality.
Reverie - Tomita, Iseo [Tokyo, Japan] - 1974 - "AMG Pick. The recording was a finalist for three Grammies in 1975, including best classical album of the year - and it was NARM's best-selling classical album of the year." - Clair De Lune; Snowflakes Are Dancing; Etc. [Japan LP Sleeve] [Remastered] [Japan] [Import, Original Recording Remastered] (RCA Red Seal)-2006.
Gorgeous piece of music translated perfectly by Tomita to synthesizer. I bought this album in 1975. First thing I'd ever heard by him. I loved it and immediately bought "Pictures At An Exhibition" when it was released soon after. Been a fan ever since. I cannot find "Bermuda Triangle" on CD. Has it ever been released on that format?
@toshishun1963, Thank you very much! It's been at least a year since I've searched online for it. You were right. There are several available on Amazon. I will order one soon. Once again, thank you. I truly appreciate it!

this is incredible "synthesizer / electronica" music,especially given the fact it was made in the early to mid 70's

Este disco es hermoso, la música de Claude Debussy en manos de Tomita y sus sintetizadores hacen una gama de colores bellísima

I don't have one but, yes, there is "Bermuda Triangle" on CD. It is still avilable.
You can find it on AMAZON.

I like Tomita's arrangements of Debussy more than the originals...

I also had time when only Isao Tomita had been heard at high school days.
I misses it.

Thank you. I lost my Snowflakes are Dancing album years ago and couldn't find another. My first all synth album. This really takes me back to 1974.
