There is some good stuff in a similar vein to the eclectic mix on these 3 posts on the album 'Now It's Dark'. The sequel (which I like even more) has roughly the same artists remixing one another (assuming they are not all the same people). I've been meaning to follow-up on the individual artists and maybe you'll find some good stuff too the same way. I liked part III very much, have only skimmed the other two.
Finally got around to listening to that and yes, it's quite good. I was doing something similar in the early 80's with synthesizer, 4 track tape, and what we called 'found sound' - basically field recordings of everything from insect noises to industrial machinery. The style wasn't very popular back then - a sub-genre of a sub-genre basically, since most of the alternative stuff was Punk and New Wave at the time. Some of my stuff actually made it onto the radio - a late night avant-garde program on a university FM station with probably no more than a half-dozen listeners...lol. I took recordings of Radio Moscow and built a 1/2 hr soundscape around it. Short wave has always fascinated me - not so much the broadcasts as the weird sounds you find and can use in recordings. Something Kraftwerk started that caught on among us 'underground' producers. This was before sampling became a thing as there were no samplers back then, just a lot of tedious work editing tape. I think the Beatles were probably the first to do this sort of thing with their Revolution-9 track. You'll notice I use short wave sounds as intros on some of my programs, which is kind of a throw back to those times.

Thanks, I'll give that a listen.
