i really enjoy "yanqui u.x.o." as well.. it's very heavy on the percussion and guitars, though. the voice samples were kind of tacky (in a front line assembly sort of way) on their older releases, and i was really happy that they were left off of y uxo. "sleep" and "storm" from "raise your skinny fists.." might interest you if you didn't like the field recordings from their past albums. actually, all of "raise your skinny fists.." sounds more mature and cohesive than their first two releases, so check out the whole album.
