A few seconds here and there of recited poetry about whales interspersed with severely manipulated tape recordings of whale sounds. Yep. This was one of the last records Folkways put out before they closed up and sold off their entire catalog to the Smithsonian, under the condition that the label's entire catalog would be kept in print for all of eternity. So we can sleep well with the knowledge that this album will never go out of print. While I don't think I'll be in a hurry to re-listen to this one anytime soon, it certainly was interesting. The sound design was pretty cool and well thought out, and used enough sonic variation to not become tedious.
