There is no one else like Tomita. Nothing else comes close. Not even Walter/Wendy Carlos with his/her groundbreaking Switched-On Bach.
That said it's great classical album to look for if you want to bend your mind a little.

Haven’t checked but, off the top of my head, I think Carlos was responsible for the Clockwork Orange theme I mentioned earlier.

"Every night of the week AND weekend bonus Specials" ... while @ 2.12 killings per day over a 365-day period, the killings "cluster" (roughly) between Fridays @round 7:00pm through Mondays @round 2:00am, i.e., the span of a typical Chicago Weekend of Killing, aka, killing time -- and people -- over the weekend. Given homicide data through 10 January 2021, I'm predicting >800 -- let's say 821 -- homicides by 31 December 2021. IMO the Ns (and percent increases) over the past 2-3 decades will also remain unusually high in NYC, LA, Newark, Baltimore, St Louis, Houston, Oakland, Minneapolis-SP, Kansas City, and New Orleans. Let's call it an educated guess and leave it @ that. (Hey -- these recent stats are "better" than the N of homicides and the N per 1,000 population data we saw in the 1970s, 1980s and approximately half of the 1990s)

May have to grab it if i cross its path...

I have an LP and the 25th anniversary CD that was a complete re-recording with some extra tracks slapped on (BWV 565, or more popularly known as “Toccata and Fugue in D minor” is worth the price of admission alone IMO)

honestly, I love the 25th anniversary CD more than the LP of the original recordings...something about it is more...fun and full compared to the LP. The cd booklet and notes are a hoot, too. Wendy Carlos is quite the arranger and electronic/synth master as well. I recommend the CD over the LP as much as most vinyl-snobs would turn their nose up to it.

At the end of the day, I remember the words of my History of Rock teacher who loved to say “If it sounds good, it is good”

Your cat collection and your JBL collection are a wonderful sight to see!


Loaf is my listening buddy....though she’s more like my EVERYTHING buddy if she gets her way.

She chose me at the rescue shelter about a year ago, I honestly did NOT want another cat (I only went to appease the wife because she wanted to “do something”)

but I did a soft little tap on one of her paws as she was hiding under a ledge and she looked at me, walked out, sat in my lap and started purring and making muffins.
My heart melted and I would have felt awful leaving her behind. Thankfully there was a sale and she was only $16!


Here she is in her favorite spot, on my lap centered between the speakers

Currently hearing Shawn Colvin's "Polaroids" via my new kitchen set up... Klipsch 'The One II'. Picked it up the other day on sale for under $150... doesn't sound too bad at all.

The wife said she wished we had a little system for the kitchen she can bluetooth her "music box" (wifi only retired phone she uses as her media file and streaming player) or my retired LG V40 (using my new V60 through it now since I still want to format the V40 for a media and streaming player of my own)
