    He wasn't the only one. Aram Katchaturian Hans Werner Henze and John Cage seem to have done as well.

    Just received "Raindog" and listening now. This might end up being near the top for me. Thanks for the rec!

    This "GO" album featuring a hodge podge of classic seventies prog rockers to me is an amazing piece of work.

    I love both the cover art and the recording as stomu takes me on a visual and mental journey.

    I find this album guilty of being a hugely underated gem from a relatively unknown artist.

    I am really impressed with the help Stomu the artist got to record with him as he got worldly famous guest's such as Steve Winwood ex Traffic and AL D and Mike Shrive ex Santana and of course Klause ....

    10 of 10 for this release.....

    Yeah that was one of those "gems" you found by accident in the record bins.. I bought it strictly based on the names associated with it.. Then when I found the double live album..
    I was in heaven..

    I didn't know he had major composers writing for him. I'm a huge fan of Henze and Takemitsu. Very different composers, but both wrote wonderful and challenging music.
