 My Father’s Day present arrived in the mail yesterday. Bridie ordered the reissue of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s ‘Green’ from Plug Seven Records in Smith Street, Collingwood. So far, I have played it five times. Yoshimura’s 1986 liner notes say ‘GREEN does not specifically refer to a colour. I like the word for its phonetic quality, and song titles were chosen for their similar linguistic characteristics.’  CREEK FEEL SHEEP SLEEP GREEN FEET STREET TEEVEE all have a double [e], a vowel sound (Bridie explained) not found in Japanese. This is the original Tokyo ambient version, not the US release infused with nature sounds.
