Hi,

maybe do you mean "The Insect Musicians" by Graeme Revell from 1986 I think ?

At the time Revell was still into his "SPK" 
project than into Hollywood film music as he is 
today.

This LP is made with samples from insects and 
edited with the CMI IIx. The original LP came 
with a booklet demonstrating how the samples were 
made and treated with loads of CMI display 
inmages.

In the 90ies there was also a CD release, 
together with Revell's "The music of Adolf 
Wölfli" on it.

Cheers

Roland
