@f_dion @vinylrecords Correction: the Prokofiev is on Bermuda Triangle - my mistake - it's been a while!

Also, there is a note on the sleeve that it was mastered in 5-channel pyramid sound, but as you say dropped back for release, so maybe there is no public 5-channel release (I guess how could there be!)

@f_dion @vinylrecords Ah yes. I love the Stravinsky and Prokofiev on the live album, but to my knowledge they didn't appear on a studio album...?

I do seem to recall some sleeve notes on Bermuda Triangle about there being a special surround sound-like version - I'll have to dig it out and check! :)

I guess that would have had to have been a special multi-track tape format or something at the time...

@diyelectromusic @vinylrecords no, this album was pressed in 1978. I think Tomita started using the pyramid in live performance in the 1980s. The Live in Linz 1984 uses that setup. Of course it is mixed down to stereo on the #vinyl. Listening to it right now! #ambient #house before its time #electronicmusic #spatialsound #live #tomita
Starts with Also Sprach Zarathustra. I've used a similar rendition to open a few live shows in the previous millenium
