In Germany there was a nightly radio show. "WDR open house" played all
kinds of "avant garde" music. AFAIR this was in the early 80s. I don't
remember, but could imagine that they might have played Isao Tomita
too. However, AFAIK he wasn't well known in Germany. I guess today he's
well known by people who read mangas and watch animes, maybe more
popular than by people interested in music, than in comics. I should
ask a few people who are older than I'm. Perhaps I'm just too young.
I guess most people knowing Isao Tomita, know him
from television.

In the UK, most people of my generation picked it up either from late
night Radio Luxembourg or Pirate radio. It was the only way you could
hear *really* original music.
