Wewantsounds is delighted to announce a special edition of the legendary 1979 Masahiko Togashi album Song of Soil, recorded in Paris with Don Cherry and Charlie Haden and released on Japanese label Paddle Wheel. Supervised by Parisian producer Martin Meissonnier - then Don Cherry's right hand man - Song of Soil reaches heights of spirituality mixing Eastern influences with jazz and deep ambient soundscapes. The album is reissued here with its original artwork and remastered by King Records in Japan. It includes the original Japanese 2-p insert plus a deluxe 8-page booklet featuring new liner notes by Martin Meissonnier in conversation with Jacques Denis and also includes an insightful Togashi biography by Paul Bowler and never-seen photos by cult French photographer Philippe Gras who witnessed this unique session.
