About this album

The Soundtrack From “The Man From The East” is a daring 1973 soundtrack from Stomu Yamash'ta’s Red Buddha Theatre, bringing together jazz, rock and experimental improvisation in a distinctly forward-looking fusion. Built for the film The Man From The East, it reflects Yamash'ta’s flair for crossing performance art, theatre and soundtrack writing, with vivid contrasts between lyrical passages and harsher, more exploratory textures. The result is one of those early-1970s releases that sits between genres rather than settling into any one of them, and it stands as a compelling example of how soundtrack music could be every bit as adventurous as the film it served.
