That's Claude Debit on the cover of the record. Yes it is!! I bought the original back in 1974 on RCA Red Seal on red vinyl too. Released as a CD over a decade ago too in Surround Sound which I also bought. This disc in all its formats introduced me to electronica sound long before it was in music and introed me (more import) to classical music especially modern "classic based" music ie post 1900s serious music incl French and shostakovich and stravinsky and everything that is GRATE in music!
I'm amazed that people can spend so much time discussing who's picture that is. Do any of you realize how much work went in to Tomita's recordings? - Each sound on the recording was created on a separate track of a tape deck. Dozens of different patches and edits. No computers. Just a guy with a room full of gear and some tape recorders. Pure genius and hard work. Nobody will ever match his achievements.
@MongoSynth Nice to see such a touching comment from a true fan! Youtube has helped me rediscover the music I love these past 2 years. We need more info related comments like yours to appreciate how equipment that once filled a warehouse now sits on a coffee table (or less). Suzanne Ciani was an early pioneer in this field before synths did all the work for you. My channel of 800 playlists is a tribute to a century of worldwide musical genius. Playlists cover each year since 1900. Stop by. chuck
@chkjns Thanks Chuck - There are actually a number of people out there (myself included) who still build and play the old modular synthesizers. The new all-in-one keyboards are nice, but there's something truly magical about turning a knob on a panel and listening to the changes happen. You can create sounds nobody has ever heard before, and then change patch cords and do it all again.
This sounds great.....it's like the music from Sega Mega Drive or SNES
I always thought a lot of video game music sounded like Jean Michel Jarre, but this probably resembles video game music (of the late 80s to early 90s) even more.
This week, Ursa Major merges with Mars' moons Deimos and Phobos in the night sky resembling Henry Kissinger and Susan Boyle performing a different position of the Kama Sutra each night this week, and such a convergence won't be visible again for another fifty years, star gazers!
@deezol I believe that is a drawing of a young Claude Debussy. The Japanese version has a cover of an older Claude, I guess as to not confuse buyers. The back cover of the album has a photograph of Isao Tomita.
@gapplec I dispise when people say that it's Spock, the man obviously has a mustashe and NO pointed ears. I think like Carole Kings TAPESTRY album, so is this album for TOMITA, although they both recorded other music works that were not as famed as the TAPESTRY and Tomita's Debussy tribute album "Snowflakes are Dancing"
Thanks. I just looked up Claude Debussy's younger pic and that does look like him. Was Spock's appearance in Star Trek by any chance inspired by Debussy? And for some reason, Debussy looks strangely Asian-looking in that pic (hence why I thought it might be Tomita himself).
I'm trying to get a comparison of this to the original composition by Debussy, so far it seems that this one has a bit of a faster (really, only alittle bit) tempo. Could I get a verification on that.
I'm going to miss Jack, always interesting to see him after NOVA, rather then commercials. "Keep looking up"
Amazing Mix! A sound came in aroun 3:44 that literally sounded like it was coming from behind me or something. Its like it was in 3D. The sound clarity is superb too.
RIP Mr Horkheimer, thanks for your contribution in astronomy and a better understanding of the universe. This doesn't only require knowledge but feeling also, your show provided both, Keep looking up!
mi padre en paz descance solía escuchar a todo volúmen esta pieza y muchas otras más de Tomita, escucharla de nuevo 25 años después pone la piel chinita.
El año 1984-85 en España se utilizó este precioso tema para el opening y el ending de un programa de TV, el Planeta Imaginario, enfocado al publico infantil y con una puesta en escena de audiovisuales combinados con teatro de una manera muy novedosa para la época.
Fué una suerte que escogieran esta canción pues casi seguro no nos habría llegado aqui.
Este era el tema musical de la exitosa telenovela "Valentina" transmitida en el horario estelar de las 9 pm. por Rctv de Venezuela (enero de 1975 a febrero de 1976), escrita por Inés Rodena y Manuel Muñoz Rico, protagonizada por Marina Baura y Raúl Amundaray, con las actuaciones de Jorge Palacios, Cecilia Villarreal, Edmundo Valdemar, Amalia Pérez Dáz, Agustina Martín, María Teresa Acosta, Marisela Berti, Zulay García, Fernando Ortega y Helianta Cruz, cuyo remake mexicano fue "La Intrusa".
@Zevola chale, vaya manera de denigrar una pieza musical de tan grande valor artístico. esa es información que es mejor cuando es omitida, aunque es curiosa.
@mauriciocalderonmora "Valentina" fue una de las mejores y más exitosas telenovelas de todos los tiempos que se hayan producido en Venezuela. yo tenía 6 y 7 años cuando la pasaron por primera vez (año 1975-76) era en el horario estelar de las 9 pm. En 1979-80 Rctv la repuso, pero en horario de la tarde.
I had to rebuke the L.A. Times today; they FAILED to mention in Horkheimer's obit that this was the theme music for the show, an oversight in my opinion. Yes, I think of Jack too, but I also think of my cousin Mick who loved this album and introduced me to it years before it set the mood for Star Hustler. Credit to Jack for knowing that 5 minutes was enough; don't we need a little more brevity these days? Keep looking up.
