Their repertoire of sounds range from uttering a liquid, rambling medley of soft caws, coos, clicks and rattles and rusty gate sounds. They may not be classified as songbirds, but they are every bit as interesting.

But what you miss out on when watching a recording, is hearing the live gamelan sounds flood around you and all the energy in the concert hall. Over all, I prefer the live version.
