Great music John! How would you feel about us using a short clip from "Red Shoes" for the Independent Media Pros promo film we are doing on the site? I think it would be a perfect addition to the score. If you're ok with that just upload it to our storage folder at http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/19326497/48d4adf8/sharing.html?rnd=37
