by John BushOne of the more satisfying classical\u002Fsynthesizer debuts, Snowflakes Are Dancing works on its own terms as a piece of music. The album succeeds as an interpretation of several Debussy compositions as well (including Clair de Lune and Arabesque No. 1). Debussy's atmospheric compositions are naturals to receive the Tomita treatment, and despite a few moments of interstellar cheesiness worthy of Star Hustler, Tomita's debut is an intriguing proto-synthesizer-pop record.
