I really enjoyed this post. This guy was so ahead of his time on so many levels it’s insane. I’m happy to see Eden’s Island getting the respect it deserves and not falling through the cracks of history. I recently purchased a copy myself. :)
I went deep on this story a couple years ago too! Ahbez does sing a bit on Eden's Island and the voice is similar sounding to the OG youtube. Also have to mention Lord Tusk dedicated an amazing show on NTS to versions of Nature Boy which is a must-listen. (search Nature Boy Offerings on the website). Alsoooo my fav version is Lorez Alexandria from the album Deep Roots
Thank you. It's so fascinating! I don't know the Lorez Alexandria version and will check out that NTS show, but again, I've never had a version touch me like this one again.
I've also listened to Eden's Island quite a bit and that's why I still believe it could be Ahbez himself singing.

Fully agree – the acclaim might have come too late for him to witness, but his music lives on.
