Hi,

Just browsing the new urbansounds (looks really sharp, check
it out!) and came across this in a review of Monolake's 
'Gobi the Desert' : 

               "...Unlike past Monolake
               releases, which used samples of chirping crickets and
               whirring crowds as the raw materials for rhythmic
               exercises, "Gobi" is beatless, and conjures its massive..."

So, what Monolake stuff features this kind of stuff ? 
(i.e., using nature sounds for rhythms)
I've always loved the first track of FSOL's lifeforms EP, 
because of the way they used the water-splashing sound as 
the main part of the rhythm... I've been looking for more 
music in the vein - any other recommendations?


thanks,
        aronne
