Over at Phonoraphy.org, there are some worthwhile websites in the "Links" section, if you want to find out good gear to use when field recording; and there are also some interesting links to VLF (Very Low Frequency)& ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) sound recordings, both on the NASA website and Stephen Mcgreevy's Natural VLF Radio website.
The recordings found on the above websites are of particular interest for me with creating the sound for Broken Bottles. The relationship between man made urban space and the natural world that Broken Bottles explores are beautifully realised in the VLF recordings where radio transmissions are coloured by the Earth's own electromagnetic field and phenomena such as lightning storms.
Below is VLF recording at Loch Ness, Scotland, uploaded to Youtube by Jpaube. The sounds heard complement the scenes of the landscape, beautifully; the sounds could almost be birdsong and light drizzle.
