There is nothing else like this in the entire world. The Thai Elephant Orchestra is the brainchild of muscian and composer David Solder in cooperation with Thai Elephant Conservation Center, and it is a brainchild of epic proportion...literally. Equipped with giant instruments especially crafted for them, these elephants show uncanny rhythmic timing and propensity for musical creativity. This album contains tracks with just elephants, and also collaborations between elephants and humans. It is truly music that cannot be adequately described, but must be experienced to be understood.
Un fortunately, the only download I could find is missing the first track, so I must apologize for that.

I think I may have the first track, I do I'll send it to you on 5/8.
Also, I was wondering if you'd use the "instrumental" tag to catologue this? *shrug*
