Has anyone heard of a song by Jacques Cousteau composed entirely of nature sounds?

I heard this back in the 70's or 80's. It consisted entirely of short clips of nature sounds (whale song, bird calls, crickets, wind, water, etc.) edited together to create a musical piece. If you didn't know the origins of the sounds, you'd swear they were all musical instruments. I was fascinated when I heard it, and have been looking for it ever since. Is anyone familiar with this, and do you know what it was called?

    Jacques Cousteau was not a musician.

    Source(s): http://cgi.ebay.com/Andy-Paley-Jacques-Cousteau-EP... "Jacques Cousteau" was first recorded in 1979 and has been out of print for a long time. It has been covered by John Cale, John Wesley Harding, Livingston Taylor, Plastic Bertrand and The Annapolis Glee Club. This version was backed by most of The Cars (David Robinson, Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes) under the name The Young Jacques.
