I came upon Japanese composer/musician Stomu Yamashta due to director Nicholas Roeg's inclusion of his music in the soundtrack to the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth," finding his avant-jazz tracks the most interesting on the album.
His stuff is hard to find, but I did track down his album Raindog a while ago, and recently this one, Sea & Sky, a 1985 album variously categorised as ambient jazz, orchestral jazz, ⬇️

Bookwomble ... synth jazz, future jazz and electronic, which gives some idea of how hard Yamashta is to pin down.
I found it immediately interesting, while taking repeated listens to really get into. I've found the effort (such as it is) worth the reward, though 😊
