Charles M. Bogert - Sounds of North American Frogs: The Biological Significance of Voice in Frogs (1957)
One of the coolest field recording albums I've ever listened to. I learned of it from this interview with Lasse Marhaug. I trust the man's taste, I was not disappointed. Just a whirlwind of different textural moments from frogs crooning, screaming like humans, whispering, making all kinds of noises one wouldn't normally expect a frog to make. Pair that with the folksy scientist (presumably Bogert) giving a brief introduction to each frog in between, it makes for a very unintentionally funny album that caters to fans of noise music as well.
Playing this over So, Black Is Myself, my previous post, works really well. Would definitely recommend.
