An influencial masterpiece of it's time.
I first heard this music at a Frank Zappa concert. It was used as an opening before the live music. I eventually purchased a vinyl version of it. Now it has been remastered for higher quality. Later Zappa recorded his own synth masterpiece "Jazz From Hell" It is easy to see why Tomita commanded Frank Zappa's respect. This work was diligent and meticulous at the time. I urge fans of classical, electronic, and avante garde music to check out this masterpiece. AMEN

Very Good But May Have Minor Drawbacks For SOME....
I was overjoyed when I found out this 'classic' disc had been digitally re-mastered. Anyone who has not owned or heard the 'original' analog recording will be pleased with this newer release. BUT, for others who like to play their CD's on high powered systems and have owned the 'original' Vinyl or CD release - expect to notice a loss of low frequency responses. The mid and high range notes have been sampled cleanly and are pleasing but a degree of subsonic bass is lacking. The overall output volume has been muted to hide some of the distortion inherent within the analog original and this appears to be at the expense of the magnificent grinding bass notes - they are there but to a lesser extent. You may need to engage super base at playback. My CD copy came from Canada and the price was right. Not sure if this re-mastered release may also be available from Japan as a Japanese 'audiophile' CD to compare the end result (can anyone advise?). Otherwise recommended to lovers of this marvelous disc. Read full review

Homeric engineering effort remastering a classic of early electronic music.
My 5-star rating is for the maximum effort for the then state-of-the-art transcription (ca. 2000) from the master tapes. Whether from first generation or subsequent copies of the masters, the use of a vintage Studer tape deck coupled with Cello electronics in the reproduction chain resulted in vanishing low levels of tape noise and other electronic grunge added by the amplification components available to recording studios in the mid 1970s. I am grateful for this new effort and the quality recording I can now enjoy in my system. I have had an original copy of the RCA Red Seal LP since it came out in 1974 and it has been a staple in my audiophile LP lineup ever since, but it has grown long in the tooth and is no longer as sonically quiet as it used to be; so the time to try a digital copy has arrived. The quality of DACs and firmwary has improved steadily since the early 80s when the Blue Book CD standard was first introduced and a 24/96 upsampled remaster sounded like a good bet. It proved far better than that. The engineers responsible for this production deserve a Portero and a bottle of Haig & Haig Pinch. My most pleasant and lasting impression was of the black silence between notes and effects. There was no tape hiss discernable at my listening position using Krell amplification, Oppo BPP-83 Special Edition muli-format disc player, Martin Logan electro-static speakers with CLS panels, and a B&W 800 ASW subwoofer. Left-right panning combined with phasing of the synthsizer signal easily reproduced the sense of sounds coming from behind me as well as at times cicling completely around the my listening position and with much greater image specificity than my analog playback system could match. The win here goes to digital, so it's obvioulsy time go upgrade my turntable. The sonics, vis a vis, the Moog sythesizer were the best I've heard from this vintage gear. Tomita's synth gear is cobbled together from separate modules and he only uses two oscillators. This may account in part for the clarity of tone one seldom experiences from recorded synths of this era so I would rate the sonics and the recording as 5-star as well. The choice of material and method of expression by Tomita ranges from dream-like to irritating. Fortunately, the forays into annoying electronic experimentation were brief and the overwhelming balance favored new, interesting, and artistic choices for voices and effects so I'm going with a 4-star rating here. The addition of the later recording of "Prelude to the Afternoon of the Faun" (Bambi?) is an added bonus and surely makes up for these minor blemishes. As to electronica and the sounds of synthesizers, this may be an acquired taste, so if this ain't yo' peach, don't brave the fuzz. But if you want to hear a near legendary pioneer in electronic synthesizer music, skip "Switched on Bach" and go straight for "Snowflakes Are Dancing". Much of Tomita's later work is hit or miss, but if you like "Snowflakes" I can recommend his rendition of Holst's "The Planets" as well. Now if we can only get these guys to reengineer Rick Wakeman's "The Six Wives Of Henry The Eighth". BartoffRead full review
