I do agree that it isn't my thing either (music concrete).  I've got a VHS
copy I snagged from TV years ago (they don't play these old classics much). 
An album of just that wouldn't do much for me either.  Ever since I learned
how it was made, I wondered if anyone had ever done such things again,
especially with modern day components.  Judging from the responses, I would
guess not.  I would also guess that using this technique was a matter of
accidental discovery and not by deliberate engineering design.
