Dust Devils Of Mars

dust devils are strong, well-formed and relatively long-lived whirlwinds that can get up to 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall, on Earth. On Mars they are up to 50 times wider, 10 times higher and seem to have a life of their own. this is the kind of abstracted hip hop beatscapes they listen to.
