| | Tomita Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition CD Tomita Discography of CDs
This album features an all-synthesizer interpretation of Mussorgsky's PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION by pioneering electronic musician Isao Tomita, and has been remixed for surround sound.
Isao Tomita has a real talent for transcribing classical music on the synthesizer. He adds much of his own personality to the new arrangements so they are not straight technical knockoffs. Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition takes on new meanings under Tomita's sensitive and sensible rendering. He is not re-inventing the wheel so all of the original drama and humor is there but the new hooks and riffs have moxy and their own senses of drama and humor. The ambient atmospheres and sci-fi textures give this version an outer space persona. It has become a stroll through an art gallery deep in the Milky Way. This is not quite Tomita's best work but it is close. ~ Jim Brenholts
Tomita's classic reinterpretation of the Mussorgsky classic on synthesizers was an aural expanding experience when it was first issued as the followup to the breakthru "Snowflakes Are Dancing".

Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition album
$40.75
This collection features 36 out-of-print tracks from the 1970s Japanese artist Stomu Yamashta and his collaborators.
As the name intimates, The Complete Go Sessions (1985) is a thorough overview of the Go concept album in the truest sense of the term, fusing pop/rock with tinges of jazz and elements of classical, all linked by a central motif of space travel. Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood, and Michael Shrieve lead an impressive ensemble through soundscapes unveiled in a variety of perspectives. Perhaps it is the international cast of performers that allows for such an unfettered consortium of ideas, bringing together former Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith member Steve Winwood along with Santana co-founder Michael Shrieve and mid-'70s era Santana percussionist Yamashta -- the latter of whom were key benefactors to the criminally underrated Santana long-player Borboletta (1974). Ably assisting the festivities are Return to Forever's Al di Meola (guitar), Klaus Schulze (synthesizer) -- whose contributions to Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel remain unequaled -- and Winwood's one-time Traffic accomplice Rosko Gee (bass), who also had a fruitful run with Can. Each side of the original LP contains a complete suite of interconnected and continuous music. The haunting and brooding "Crossing the Line" is reminiscent of prog rockers Alan Parsons Project or pretentious Pink Floyd [read: anything past Meddle (1971)]. Winwood's echo-laden vocals give him an almost palpably awkward quality, perfectly suited for the austere setting that is light years away from the likes of "Sea of Joy" or "Gimme Some Lovin'," yet is remarkably akin to "No ...

Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition music CDs
$10.75
The sheer musicality of Fred Lonberg-Holm's cello playing cannot be denied. No matter how many free music projects he involves himself in, he cannot help but return to the notion of song as a player. On Terminal Valentine, Longberg-Holm teams with bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Frank Rosaly, and performs a series of short to middle-length pieces that have song at their root, though they explore the margins of certain frameworks of harmony, lyric and time. "Three Note Song" sounds, in the beginning, as if it could have been part of the tribute to the late Fred Katz he put together in 2002. On "And ...
