Déjà Vu

DEJA-VU is a Japanese band that was formed at the Meiji University of Tokyo in 1984 under the name of CLASHED ICE (Soon changed) by the talented keyboardist Motoi Sakuraba, the bass player and vocalist Tetsuya Nagatsuma and the drummer, backing vocalist Genta Kudoh (Also played in Vermillion Sands)

As most respectable Power Trios, DEJA-VU has a clear influence of ELP but also some leanings towards Italian bands as Balletto di Bronzo and the Japanese Gerard. During the next three years they toured and recorded their own material gaining fame and international recognition, but it's not until 1988 when they were able to release "Baroque in Future" their only album.
