"The Animal Economy" is MonoCulture's third official album. It was created during and directly after a study abroad trip, in the latter half of 2005. Sound sources were drawn from countless hours of field recordings harvested in Hiroshima, and from a stack of cheap vinyl purchased at a crusty thrift store in Phoenix, Arizona. On this release, MonoCulture veers away from IDM, into the genre of instrumental HipHop. The result is a rhythmic chopshop of drums stolen from bad Christian rock and forgotten soundtracks, mixed with electric organ, sine, and shakuhachi.

Reviewer:NoidSoup - - June 5, 2006 Subject: A word from Mr. Jarndyce on the death of MonoCulture The light is come upon the dark benighted way. Dead! Dead, your Majesty. Dead, my lords and gentlemen. Dead, Right Reverends and Wrong Reverends of every order. Dead, men and women, born with Heavenly compassion in your hearts. And dying thus around us, every day.
