Konono No. 1"Ditshe Tshiekutala" (i hope the link works)
from this african mp3 blog: http://www.christopherporter.com/

contains:
tumb piano
rythym block
human voices
tamboruines
synth(s)
fuzzbox
drum machine
some other electronics i cannot id
djumbo
congas
tom toms
key boards
panpipes
saxophone
electronic guitar
electronic bass
standard western drum set, w. brushes
tin whistles
xylophone
steel drums
glass bottles


and it goes from quiet to louder and louder, simple to more and more complex, an almost logical narrative, each instrument layered, each one being able to be heard, like a pile of plexiglass boxes --it does go into a sort of frantic ecsatscy, but in that frenzy nothing is lost, everything remains with much delibrate care. (also acoustic to electronic)

its amazing
