<p class="MsoNormal">"Ruttmann's film could scarcely be used to guide a
stranger arriving in Berlin for the first time. It summarises far more the
memories and residual moods of a traveller leaving that city. If nevertheless
the film contains a characterisation of the city, it is not in the shots
themselves, but through their montage and rhythm."

@Plüton!: Wow - what a compliment! thank you. The source material was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, which when listened to on headphones, creates that externalised sound, with a broad sound stage. Hope this helps..
