Hi Dave,

Acquired it a few days ago. A very pleasant collection of songs, although the touted link to New World isn't immediately clear to me.

Having been completely bowled over by New World, I was wondering if anyone could give any initial FB on this. Supposedly it's a sort of continuation of the New World.

Anyone?

I browsed through rather quickly, but I don't think I saw Rick Wakeman - Jane Seymour

I believe Tomita passed away in 2016. Wendy Carlos is 82.

RIP Vangelis

RIP Klaus Schulze, listening to your Velvet Voyage on Mirage at the time opened up a whole new world of musical possibilities for me. The equipment list alone left me drooling!

Thanks for the...

All the above, my take as well!

Surprised Zombi hasn't made an appearance yet: Surface to Air, Escape Velocity, Shape Shift are all listenable to.

Jaco and Erskine in 1972, no way, at earliest this is the Mr. Gone line-up in 77 or 78 in the picture. Check out the legendary live tapes

For me the most solid period is from Tale Spinnin' to Heavy Weather (the double ARP 2600 and TONTO (on TS) orchestration is fantastic), with a sudden drop in quality with Mr. Gone; however, things...

Thank you, this is the first time today that "my brain doesn't hurt"

This is scandalous. Everyone knows that the music of Blade Runner was created by Leon Theremin, even the soliloquy by Roy Batty

I for one was glad to see that Al Lewis was able to find a second career after The Munsters

For my money, it was a moog. Tomita for example made some incredible voice-like sounds with his equipment.
