I was requested to upload this old mix and managed to found it so here it is. All original vinyl. I will add tracklist and hopefully the original description text with history and meaning of hula later on.

とある方から
日記をすすめられたのだが
敷居高く、
sound diary（音日記）として
記録したほうが
ことばだけよりも
いろんなことわかりそうな気がするので
今後も続けていくつもり。

Time Settles - Lyrics: 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me 

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

Time Settles

質疑応答

This is one of a series of three songs i made　with the voice of a very old grandma from Yonaguni Island, south west of Okinawa, Japan.
This tiny island is the most western part of Japan and is very close to Taiwan.
A friend went there to record his grandmother singing some traditional songs from the island and he gave me the recordings. Good intuition actually, because she passed away by the time i had finished the third song. And i don't even know her name, nor her face... just this rough, slightly harsh, salty voice. On purpose, i did not try to make her timbre more sweet sounding and i was very tempted to include some very funny moments　between the songs when she coughs like a truck driver or gets a bit upset because her　grand son continually asks her to stop moving some papers in front of the microphone　when she sings. 　＾＾
To stay true to this absolutely authentic voice, i had to limit
myself to a few elements and try to somehow, in my own "gaijin" way, stay true to the Ryukyu traditional spirit, as i feel it presently living in Okinawa, gratefully.
