This album became a worldwide success. I can't speak as to how it grew prominent in the rest of the world. however, it became known not only in classical music circles, but in rock and popular music circles as well, thanks to the airplay it received on FM radio. For my money, though, if you want to experience Tomita's artistry, Snowflakes Are Dancing is the place to start. It will not only give you fine taste of Tomita, but it might also give you an interest in a deeper exploration of the music of Debussy.

Tracklist: 01. Snowflakes are Dancing (Children's Corner No. 4) (02:11) 02. Reverie (04:45) 03. Gardens in the Rain (Estampes No. 3) (03:42) 04.

The original SNOWFLAKES ARE DANCING album had 10 tracks. This has 13. It adds the never before released "Second Arabesque" (which is delightful fun as it should be), "Whistle and Chime (The Art of Sound Creation)", and "Nauges. This QUADRAPHONIC SACD is a completely new experience. Several of the original tracks feature new and different mixes by Mr. TOMITA with new sounds and new intros. It is also the longest TOMITA album ever made, which is nice, since it is so enjoyable. Note On LIVE AT LINZ Recording Quality I think that since MIND OF THE UNIVERSE was a live concert with speakers on both sides of the Danube River, a helicopter carrying a speaker above for a UFO effect, and a huge choir on a boat. there is no way the sound quality could have been perfect.

Tomita – Snowflakes are Dancing. It features lively performances that served as a contrast to the drier arrangements of Tomita’s contemporary, Wendy Carlos. It also displays a minimum of Tomita’s spacy tendencies, which listeners love or hate
