I have a record of Fluxus artists including an excerpt of a La Monte Young "ambience" recording. Also, closely related to the history of IDM (IMHO) is Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis of Wire, who put out a record of the sound of an art gallery where they'd been involved in some installations. The record is called "MZUI" after the art gallery and was on Cherry Red records I believe. There are probably quite a few (of the less vociferous) IDM list members with those "Environments" series records, which are basically recordings of ambient environments that came out in the early 70's and were repressed at least once a few years later. I've seen tons of those in record bins over the years... These records might not fit your definition of "found sounds" I imagine... I just got "Brain Song" and "3 Ways of Saying 2" by Hafler Trio a week ago and suspect that there is some straight field recording on these records since Andrew McKenzie has been into that... I do sit and listen to sound effects records, ambiences, record vinyl rumble, etc. They are kind of nice in the aspect that there are no "people" there making the sound: no "intention" to the sound for me to deal with as a listenner.
