Recording of an actual explosion in the Vale Of Belvoir, Leicestershire UK, in about 1988. There was a thick fog at the time which added a very pleasing natural reverb effect. The explosive device was a small steel cylinder filled with black powder and placed under a fallen tree. This source was captured using a Phillips cassette recorder and digitised some years later.

Yes, quite unprocessed. You can thank the trees for the early reflections and the fog for the decay. Actually it was necessary to fade the reverb early because of someone laughing on the original tape. :-)
Thanks for all the kind comments!
Cheers,

Wow, perfect sound! Exactly what I needed! But is that unprocessed? I can't believe it the reverb is so damn good.
