I'd like to start a list of examples of this particular combination, so please post any you can think of or any other thoughts about this.
Here's one I think really works:

Have you ever seen any of Diego Stocco's work? It's really amazing what he does. Here's an example
Diego Stocco - Music from Nature from Diego Stocco on Vimeo.
But check out all his other videos which are fantastic and really creative.

Thanks, yes I've encountered his work before - always very inspirational. Thinking about this question again, I think I'm more interested in recordings and music together rather than composition from field recordings (though the lines can get blurry, I know). – Mark Durham Aug 29 '13 at 9:03

was about to ask that question and yes lines are blurry. i'll see what i can find. – Arnoud Traa Aug 29 '13 at 13:52

Oh ok... Maybe check out the John Mayer/Frank Ocean track on the new John Mayer album which has an ambience field recording throughout... youtube.com/watch?v=G6z7c-nIQ6M – Gus B Aug 29 '13 at 22:42

so it sounds like you are looking for music that combines more traditional field recordings, ambience recordings as opposed to found sound and foley type recordings being used as rhythmic components in music.
off the top of my head i'd add:
and basically his whole album Landings
Mountains, the album "Sewn" but you seem to be hip to Thrill Jockey already
If you go to www.othermusic.com and browse the "OUT" section you will find tons of this kind of stuff.
Also, here's an example of this that I have done.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm more interested in straight recordings and music - how the two interact. Thanks for the suggestions. Really like that Lusine track, I'll definitely seek the albumn out. – Mark Durham Aug 30 '13 at 9:06
When I saw this question, I immediately thought of some of the ambient music I've listened to.
"Chill Out," by The KLF is full of them, along with samples of Elvis, Tuvan throat singing, and an insane salesman. http://youtu.be/C5TUEv1wf-c
At least one track from Brian Eno's "Ambient 4: On Land" fits this, too. I don't have it at the moment, though, so I'm not sure which one.

Thanks, I've not listened to the KLF for a while! Love the trains... – Mark Durham Aug 31 '13 at 11:41
Hi,
You should take a look at Amon Tobin's album 'Foley Room' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhxw-pqB4VU And his others albums are great pieces of sound design too !
Hope you'll enjoy !
