I first heard this one on Shirley Collins' False True Lovers.  It really struck me since it was a time when I was mourning 2 family members.  I decided I needed to learn the song (still haven't) .  So I was checking out other versions - the first one that really struck me was Eliza Carthy & Nancy Kerr - beautifully sung.. but also the style they cop on the album cover really brings back the late 80s alternative vibe that I was so lucky to live through.  A more contemporary version from Papa M (David Pajo - Tortise , Slint) is worth a listen (if you haven't already) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iROl446lYGE

The Unquiet Grave

This unedited and unprocessed recording (from an unattended overnight recording) runs from 05:16 to 06:56. It was recorded at a location about 315 metres from the shore of the Coorong lagoon, at the nearest point, and about 3.5 kilometres from the ocean shore, at the nearest point, on the far side of the dunes that enclose the lagoon, from which the eternal environing ‘Coorong roar’ emanates.

The recording provides a companion piece for ‘2022.03.03 White Ibises Roosting. Night. Coorong. Inland. Late Summer.’ (https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20220303-white-ibises-roosting-night-coorong-inland-late-summer)

96/32 wav to 48/24 flac.

2022.03.03 A Coorong Dawn. Inland. Late Summer.

The spring dawn chorus recorded in the heart of the Forêt des Cèdres du Luberon. This cedar forest is one of the most unusual of the forests and green spaces of the Luberon massif, given the oriental origin of these large trees. At an altitude of 727 metres, the cedar forest was originally planted with seeds from the Algerian Middle Atlas back in 1861. Due to it's altitude and distance from major towns and roads, the forest is very quiet and makes for a perfect recording location.

A private press rarity that few know of, ‘Song of Island’ was the third album from pianist Yasuhiro Kohno’s trio, recorded live at the jazz club and live house (gig venue) ‘Again’ in August 1985. Pressed up in small numbers, ‘Song for Island’ was issued on the private ASCAP Records, set up by pianist and band leader Yasuhiro Kohno.

The album is a follow up to Kohno-san’s previous two albums, ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’, released on the cult Aketa’s Disk label. However, unlike the ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’ albums, ‘Song of Island’ has never been reissued before – until now. The title track was included on J Jazz volume 3. This is a very special album that captures a special time in Japanese jazz, when exemplary acoustic jazz was still being performed and recorded by dedicated and talented artists at the height of mid-80s synth pop. ‘Song of Island’ features four original compositions by Yasuhiro Kohno plus a distinctive take on a jazz standard.

Yasuhiro Kohno was born in Nara, southern Japan, in 1953 and made his professional debut as a member of Japanese rocker Eikichi Yazawa’s band before going on to accompany actor/singer Masatoshi Nakamura. As well as recording and performing under his own name, Kohno has also played with American musicians such as Richard Davis and Mal Waldron and continues to perform regularly in Japan.

‘Song of Island’ will be issued as a full reproduction of the original work, with inserts, translated original sleeve notes, plus new sleeve notes, photos, and an interview with Yasuhiro Kohno by Tony Higgins.
