Today in the office, we were listening to the work of electronic music pioneer Isao Tomita, who passed away last week at the age of 84. Some of his best albums aren’t freely available online (Pictures at an Exhibition or Firebird, for example), but there is more than enough out there to explore!
- Tomita – Snowflakes are Dancing
- Tomita – The Ravel Album
- Electric Samurai – Switched On Rock
- Tomita – Catastrophy 1999
- Tomita (with Kodo and Kusillaqta) – Nasca Fantasy
- Tomita – The Bermuda Triangle
- Tomita – The Planets (Holst)
- Tomita and the Plasma Symphony Orchestra – Dawn Chorus
