No matter how many times I listen to this 60-second sample, I never hear the sample twice the same way. It's amazing that way.

hey andrew,
i love those recordings,
when you can feel the ambiance, the poeple, the air... its like a sonic travel...
i think you should add the tag 'field-recording' to those files, so that they will be easier to find. i hope you dont mind i add the first one... :)
what kind of microphone are you using?
