This is a prog instrumental song that I can only describe as having a jungle theme -- synth birds, toads, and other creatures fade in before the "music" begins with synth bongos, followed by a repetitive hook. The song crescendos into an upbeat and hopeful full orchestration of sound before slowly fading away, one instrument at a time, until you just hear the quiet "jungle" creatures again. My older brother created the now-lost mix tape in the early 80s but doesn't remember from what album or artist this song was lifted. I've done my best to replicate it here: https://voca.ro/13Bl3llXc88S" rel="nofollow - https://voca.ro/13Bl3llXc88S This search has been haunting me for decades! Hopefully someone here can help

^ Could it be "Help Me Somebody" (haha, funny title  ) by Brian Eno & David Byrne? |

Maybe this? ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

No to either. King Crimson was also on the list of possibilities tho as far as style. The one I'm looking for is even more "produced" sounding, with a repetitive hook. Thanks! |

I had some hopes with this one... thinking my brother could've recorded just a section of a much longer piece. The song I'm desperate to find is much shorter - perhaps only 5-7 min - with a distinct beginning, middle, and end. Thanks!

It may be something from Kitaro, but it's a very prolific author ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Jethro Tull's 'Bungle in the Jungle' fits the opening animal sounds, has a catchy hook, and was released in 1974 but didn't get widespread airplay until late 70s/early 80s--- but does not fit the rhythms of your vocaroo description. Good luck. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

You have to get about 3 minutes in past the opening theme |

^ The video works for me, and from around the 2:26 mark until 8:35 it sounds exactly like what the original poster is describing in his vocaroo link. The same bongos rhythm begins again at around the 11:56 mark, so he may have only had a small portion of the track on his original mix tape. Props to Richardh for finding this! The phrase 'needle in a haystack' came to mind when I first saw this post, but I reckon he's cracked it with this suggestion.
