Thanks! (I half expected it to be "Storm from the East," meaning there were less albums than I thought! :) )

Someone last year posted a link to a recent review with Tomita, who as I remember was a bit surprised that anyone still cared about modulars when asked if \u201cSound Creature\u201d would ever be re-released. But once reminded of the modular, he seemed to wax poetic about how that modular was the only instrument that offered him the ability to \u2018find his sound.\u2019 I\u2019m kind of paraphrasing from memory on that one.
The last thing I believe he released in the US was \u201cCanon of the Three Stars\u201d (that was the US name…different Japan title). Then he did \u201cBach fantasy\u201d which never made it here, plus the others I mentioned. It\u2019s like pulling teeth getting any of his stuff these days, except for the 3,227th re-release of \u201cSnowflakes.\u201d
But on Canon, he was still using the Moog a tiny bit I think, but mostly moving over to the digital synth. I miss the old sounds. I wish he would do an \u201cold style\u201d album, another \u201cPlanets.\u201d
There are several web sites that list his module compliment at any point in time.

I'm not familiar with those, but do have a copy of his Catastrophe: 1999 soundtrack, released in Japan. Very Ennio Morriconish, with synthesizer, mellotron and jazz-rock band! John Loffink microtonal@... ----- Original Message -----
