Contains carefully selected tracks from ``Cosmos Fantasy'', ``Bermuda Triangle'', and ``Phoenix'' in 4ch surround. When you think of Tomita, you think of space. TOMITA, who freely manipulates the synthesizer, has created a collection of masterpieces depicting the romance of space with a rich sense of color, now revived with new freshness!

Inspired by Disney's "Fantasia," which had a strong impact on Tomita long ago, DISC 2 includes unreleased sound sources "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," "The Nutcracker," and "Beethoven: Pastoral" that pay homage to that sound world with synthesizers for the first time in the world! This sound source was created in the mid-1980s, which Tomita himself says was the period when he was most able to use synthesizers. It is truly a treasured sound source that will amaze TOMITA fans, and it fully captures the world of TOMITA sound, like a machine brought to life and wriggling in all directions. This is a salivating BONUS TRACK that you can enjoy.
