Bolero album
 $7.65  
Isao Tomita is a brilliant interpreter. He has transcribed several classical and orchestral works for the synthesizer. Kosmos is a slick album of those works that translate well to Tomita's spacescapes and his visionary style. These pieces had acoustic atmospheric resonance in their original formats. Tomita's synthesized versions have all of the original bravado and essence and he has added ambient atmospheres to give each piece new meaning and depth. The modernized pieces are genuine spacescapes. The disc opens, somewhat predictably, with John Williams' "Star Wars Theme." Tomita's lighthearted version adds humor to the piece. Track two, "Space Fantasy," just might be Tomita's best work. He combines elements from "Thus Spake Zoroaster" by Richard Strauss and "Ride of the Valkyries" and "Tannhauser Overture," both by Richard Wagner. The depth of this performance on this is amazing. Arthur Honegger's "Pacific 231" is an excellent transitional piece. Experimental sounds give it an avant-garde feel. "The Unanswered Question" by Charles Ives is pure atmospheric minimalism in both its original and electronic form. Ives was a risk-taker and one of the foremost avant-garde composers of his time; he would like ...
| | Holst: The Planets / Isao Tomita CD (1976)
Bolero CD music
$9.09  
This was the most controversial Tomita album, where he uses Holst's spectacular, mystical suite The Planets as a launching pad for what amounts to a simulated spaceship trip through the solar system. Hence the title The Tomita Planets, which did not deter the Holst estate from trying (unsuccessfully) to pull this recording off the market at the time. When Tomita sticks to what Holst wrote, he follows every turn and bend of the score, save for a big cut in the last part of Jupiter and an eviscerated Uranus that nearly disappears altogether. Moreover, the music -- especially Venus -- often does lend itself to an electronic space flight fantasy, with Tomita's arsenal of phase-shifting, flanging, pitch-bending, envelope ...

24 tracks feat. Adrian Rollini, Red Nichols, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey + 1 never before released take
There were two distinctly different ensembles that recorded under the name of the Little Ramblers. One was an often racially integrated swing band that came out with about 20 sides on Victor's Bluebird subsidiary during the mid-'30s. The original Little Ramblers, and the subject of a Timeless CD compilation released in 1997, were a hot jazz and dance band that recorded for Columbia during the mid-'20s, while making scads of records for numerous other labels under various names, the most famous being the California Ramblers. The folks at Timeless eliminated the Little Ramblers' first four recordings, beginning the chronology with the session of September 18, 1924. "Deep Blue Sea Blues" was based upon the melody "Asleep in the Deep," an elegy for drowned sailors published in 1897. Beginning with "Those Panama Mamas," Adrian Rollini added the bass saxophone to his arsenal of uncommon instruments; the two preceding titles have him using the kazoo and the goofus, a sort of rubber-necked melodica shaped like a saxophone. Several players are worthy of special mention: trumpeters Red Nichols and Chelsea Quealey; trombonists Tommy ...

Bolero album
$9.69
The liner notes to this Elektra recording claim that Robert Mason "has built the world's first multi-voiced synthesizer that can be played like a real keyboard instrument with full chords and tonal clusters." With accompaniment by drummer Stephen Gadd, tenor and soprano saxophonist Michael Brecker, bassist Jaime Austria, percussion player Bruce Ditmas, and guitarist Harvey Sarch, Mason creates some playful riffs, but didn't cause Wendy Carlos or Keith Emerson to lose any sleep. A strange amalgam of rock and jazz fusion jams which aren't jazz enough for fans of the genre to seek out (unless the Michael Brecker fanatics have to have all his work), nor rock enough to satisfy the Emerson, Lake & Palmer audience. Sure it is fun to listen to the synth, but it doesn't say much -- the vibe is definitely that of people messing around to see what cool sounds they can come up with -- there just aren't enough of them. "Strawberry Fields Forever" might be the best track, just a faithful rendition of that Beatles classic makes it a mandatory spin, but if you need a "Strawberry Fields Forever" fix, the six takes on the Nothing Is Real bootleg album will satisfy more thoroughly. The version is very laid back, and this excellent collection of musicians seems to be following tentatively rather than adding some dynamics. There you have the biggest problem with Robert Mason's Intergalactic Trot. The format is so limited that the novelty wears off real quick. Orion's Sometimes Words Get in the Way is far more spirited. The up-tempo "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is drenched in guitar reverb and echoplex -- acoustic guitars and the multiple synthesizers combining to form unique renditions of popular tunes. Orion no doubt heard Mason's work, for the best moments on Intergalactic Trot are when the synth artist takes on Sly Stone's "I Want to Take You Higher" or the Beatles. The originals fall very flat. Orion made sure ...
