[mcnuggetter]

[inara414]

Thanks for this beautiful imagescape to go w/ Tomita's electronic version of the music. A perfect pairing!

This planet sounds like a woman.....**cough**

[edwardogburn]

yep, it`s true",Tomita san"' enhances , and imroves upon the original( as I think he does on most of his"cover jobs,"i e",his interpretation of the "classics"using the moog..as he does..so wonderfully....

i honestly think Tomita's versions of Holt's Planets are better. Since the theme is outer space, and outer space is commonly known for a more digital sound as a background. This fits perfectly with the atmosphere. I listened to the orginials and it just doesnt create the same vibe this does, which is if you close your eyes, u can perfectly picture outer space.

Hey... would love to see the opening scenes from "Twenty Million Miles to Earth" mixed with this! Help?

I knew a guy at Glendale Comm. College back in the early 90's, ((in CA)) and he made me a cassette tape of this entire album. I loved it!

Have this DVD love the use of CGI and actual NASA footage is used. You feel like you're doing an actual fly over.

[yourforte]

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I prefer Tomita's version to Holst's.

[ophios]

@yourforte

well, considering tomita is somewhat playing holst's version

you don't have to worry :)

[yourforte]

@ophios - yes. I just think the electronic version sounds more effective than the orchestral.

[ophios]

@yourforte

ah, in that case, I agree with you :)

[yourforte]

@ophios - Good. Well thanks for uploading it - I enjoy it immensely. I've downloaded the orchestral score just to compare it.

[inara414]

@yourforte Me too. He adds dimension yet stays true to the composer's score. That's what I love about all of Tomita's classical interpretations.
