Moondogging by vv. aa.

this is a re-issue of an album released by the Webbed Hand Records in 2010
https://webbedhandrecords.com/wh135-oes-moondogging/

from the booklet curated by Christopher McDill:

International ensemble/collective O.E.S. (Orchestra Eclettica Sincretista) brings a multitude of interpretations to a composition by the eccentric avant-garde composer, Moondog.

“Moondogging” is the hommage that O.E.S. pays to the legendary figure of Moondog. O.E.S. worked on a song of his titled “Lovesong” that has a twin in an instrumental track titled “Fujiyama”. The song sings a story that is similar to the one of Tristan and Iseult or of Romeo and Juliet. A very tragic love story.

Some members of the O.E.S. collective contributed instrumental and vocal executions of the song or samples and some members contributed complete compositions or remixes of these materials.

Vocal and instrumental executions, samples and remixes contributed by Hidekazu Wakabayashi, Harold Nono, Roberto Corsini, Marco Lucchi, Giampaolo Violi, Antonio de Braga, Cometa, Eerohz, Massimo Croce, iN2Ni, Jean Montag and Steve Layton.

Fujiyama, take me too, Now she’s gone my life is through, Fujiyama …
show me where she stood and fell, then i’ll stand and fall as well, Fujiyama
When she heard I died at sea, she was bent on joining me, Fujiyama …
Unbeknown to her I’d live, till I’d have a life to give, Fujiyama …
coming home i’d come to lean, travel on until I’m free, Fujiyama…
Fujiyama, when I’m gone, Tell the world that love lives on, Fujiyama
