Ya, the "Songs of the Humpback Whale" which I mentioned is purely whalesong
(except where boat noise has crept in accidentally, but that's all explained
on the cover). I'll search it out and find out more details for you but it's
on vinyl somewhere (probably in my loft) and seeing as I haven't been able
to play vinyl for years I'll have to dig for it.

I haven't heard these Voyager recordings I keep hearing about though, they
sound interesting.. What do they sound like?
