Also, wasn't there some guy in the late 90s who's whole thing was doing tunes that sound like techno on "real" instruments? His artist name was something like oObO or something, can't remember...

yeah there's stuff like Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble, Nik Bartsch's Ronin (that's mostly crazy time signatures though). lots of drum ensemble music. i have this album by a group called Bateria Por Favor that's really well-recorded samba batucada stuff, it's not really online though.
