Stomu Yamash'ta - Win Words [The Man Who Fell To Earth] David Bowie Nicolas Roeg

Stomu Yamashta
Yamash'ta who stole the show with his virtuoso performance', and when it was over the audience gave him a five-minute standing ovation, contributed pieces from his albums to the Nicolas Roeg film The Man Who Fell to Earth [starring David Bowie].
Stomu Yamashta [or Yamash'ta], born Tsutomu Yamashita [山下勉 Yamashita Tsutomu?, 15 March 1947] is a Japanese percussionist, keyboardist and composer. He is best known for pioneering and popularising a fusion of traditional Japanese percussive music with Western progressive rock music in the 1960s and 1970s.
In the latter part of the 1970s, he led the supergroup "Go" with Steve Winwood, Al Di Meola, Klaus Schulze, and Michael Shrieve.
Yamash'ta was born in Kyoto, and studied music at Kyoto University, Juilliard School of Music, and Berklee College of Music, and has also lectured in music. His innovation and acrobatic drumming style earned him many accolades. In the 1960s he performed with Thor Johnson, Toru Takemitsu, and Hans Werner Henze amongst others. He changed his name from Tsutomu Yamashita to the phonetic Stomu Yamash'ta and in 1969 gained worldwide recognition during a concert with Seiji Ozawa and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Time reviewed the concert declaring 'the star of the evening was Stomu Yamash'ta who stole the show with his virtuoso performance', and when it was over the audience gave him a five-minute standing ovation.
At the turn of the 1970s he worked with Peter Maxwell Davies and brought the Red Buddha Theatre company from Japan to Europe, acting as their director, producer and composer, writing and performing in the multi-media event The Man From The East, with Morris Pert's Come To The Edge providing the musical backing.
He has composed for the British Royal Ballet; contributed pieces from his albums to the Nicolas Roeg film The Man Who Fell to Earth [starring David Bowie]; performed in Peter Maxwell Davies score for Ken Russell's The Devils and in John Williams' score for Robert Altman's Images [1972]. He has also composed film scores. His Space Theme was used by the BBC on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Stomu Yamash'ta also appears in the last episode of Tony Palmer's All You Need is Love: The Story of Popular Music.
Originally known as Tsutomu Yamashita, most of his albums for Western audiences use the name "Stomu Yamash'ta", though some [such as Go and Raindog] use the name "Yamashta" [without the apostrophe].

Danny, way at the end of your video, beginning at 6:42 there is a short bit of a song that sounds like it would be Yamash'ta. He's singing the words: "The man who fell to earth through space and through time." ... I have never heard that before. It's not in the movie. What is that? Who is it by? It sounded interesting. I would love to hear that full song.

One of my more treasured records since I found it on the heels of the Roeg/Bowie film on the LP, Freedom is Frightening. Now available on the Man Who Fell soundtrack released this year.

Win Words [Alt Version] Tempest Soundtrack It's different has more of a classical feel but still good.

[@slyslaughter5115]

Yes, used to own that. Hard to find an unscratched version now. Much shorter, but as you say, more of a classical feel, as does the version of "Nature" from GO 1
