Listened to The Planets many, many times ... amazing adaptation.

Indeed a sad loss to the cultural world. Such a major influence in music and other fields. RIP Isao Tomita.

You can be sure I will look for new material to add to the Moon from this Master of electronic music.

Thanks Art for making us aware of this. It is indeed a loss for us all.

I really liked his Pictures at an Exhibition. He had a unique way of interpreting music.

And he created some incredible sounds from a Moog!

RIP Isao Tomita.

Regards from Texas,
Ted
