A medley of several recordings I made early in the morning on the very last day of the 2009 Hot-Air Balloon European Championship which took place in Brissac, near Angers, France. Lying on the ground, the balloons first have to be inflated with large noisy fans before the gas burners can get into action. Feverish activity around the dozens of them that lifted off that morning for their last flights there. Surely best enjoyed on with-height setups (from 9:30 on there's one passing right above), this track will prove "a bit" noisy at times, but if your speakers love pink noise, this is the track they'll need !!! ----(DIY TSB165A "soundfield" mic / DIY preamp / Modded Zoom H2 recorder)
