Isao Tomita
Clair de Lune (1974)
Isao Tomita (born 1932 in Japan) is a pioneer of electronic music who's ground-breaking use of Moog Synthesizer to interpret orchestral scores by classical composers pointed the way for the use of synths in pop and ambient music as well as the later Trance sounds of the 90's and beyond. 'Clair de Lune' is from his album Snowflakes Are Dancing (1974), which consists of arrangements of the works of Claude Debussy. These tracks can take you away on poetic reverie that's good for the heart and soul.

I did have an album by Tomita which I had forgot about...definately mood music..nice track
Bit of a 70's throw-back, isn't he? Of its time, perhaps, but very fine.
