Following his studies in the States into composition and after his prolific success working with the Red Buddha Theatre, Stomu Yamashta’s early ‘70s reputation was enhanced as he sparked the creative ideas of many UK based acts including Brand X. Whispers of a supergroup, which would eventually include Traffic’s Steve Winwood and Tangerine Dream’s Klaus Schulze among others, were rife when, in 1975, Yamashta wove his multi-layered compositional skills into the six track album Raindog, which featured lyrics by legendary rock journalist Giovanni Dadomo. Sparking further excitement in his unique heavily textured, jazz-influenced ideas, Raindog was to be the final focus prior to the much-respected formation of Go, whose three albums remain seminal works by the Japanese composer.
