I recently found out that Acoustic Sounds is having an ongoing SACD sale and while browsing through the titles, I noticed that the title Forest and Beach was available on sale for a *very* reasonable price (listed in Japan for ¥4725 but is in fact OOP).
This is a two disc hybrid SACD set with a very unusual structure. The surround layer of each disc is basically an "environmental" disc one with birds in a forest and the other of beach goers at the beach. Both surround layers are DSD recordings (Genex GX-8500).
The stereo SACD and redbook layers feature Seigen Ono and musicians in studio (Forest) and live (Beach) recordings. The musicians include Marc Ribot, John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, Alexander Balanescu, Jun Miyake, etc.
If you appreciate brazilian tinged, world meets jazz music and environmental sounds. I recommend picking this one up before it's gone for good.
