The Saul Bass connection checks out since the first and only feature film he directed ('Phase IV', a trippy movie about hyper intelligent ants) included Stomu Yamashita's music, but for a scene which was unfortunately cut in the original release.
Between this, the "Sea & Sky" cover art above (which was used for a 1980 short film he directed called 'The Solar Film') and the poster he made for an earlier (1968) experimental short film he also directed called 'Why Man Creates', I can tell he was into the setting sun motif.
As for the record I found this weekend, it almost completes my collection of pre-Go Yamashita, some of which were used for 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' (percussive/ambient) and a Formula 1 doc called 'One By One' (more on the jazz-rock side)
