Finland's Kevyt Nostalgia label will be releasing a second collection of Stone Breath rarities called "Fruit of the Woven Vine" in December. Included on the new record will be various songs from "vinyl EPs, compilations, covers, songs that were gifts to friends, and a few recordings made especially for this release: including four songs recorded with Fit & Limo - re-recordings of one song from each of the four proper Stone Breath albums." Also included on the disc will be the video for "A Dream of You in the Garden of Gethsemene" by Francesco Paladino and Maria Assunta Karini/Kapa Productions.
