yes you are a snob,

sure this is a marketing exercise, but its fun. Tomita's electronic Debussy may not be to your taste, but its a beautiful fusion of Japanese and Western sensibilities overlain and underpinned by the combination of the electronic and classical genres, which can only be appreciated by those with a truly musical soul

Marketing boys and their marketing toys,

I hate to sound like a snob, but it's hard to imagine anyone over the age of 5 being at all intrigued by this silly little CD. The music is great, well mostly great, of course, and a couple of the performances (Reiner's "Zarathustra," Gould's "Grand Canyon") are among the best out there. Others (Tomita's awful synthesized Debussy) scrape the bottom of the barrel. The big question is WHO is likely to enjoy something like this? Only children and adults with very, very limited attention spans who don't like really classical music, I'll wager.
