If anyone involved in the film industry is reading this &#8211; AC deserves a job scoring films with work like this. Top favorites are Spring Rain, Fabrique, and Chrysalis though it&#8217;s all good. &#8221; &#8211; Great Scott (Muti Music // Glitch.FM // Scarcity Records).</p> <p>If you haven&#8217;t checked out glitch.fm yet I highly recommend you do, some pretty cool audio treats from many different DJs and artists. <a href="http://glitch.fm">http://glitch.fm</a></p> <p>Thanks to everyone for their time and effort on the articles and reviews, I sincerely appreciate it.</p> <div class="facebook_like_button"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fsummerrainrecordings.net%2Fblog%2Fsome-great-articles-and-reviews-on-auditory-canvas-fabric-of-life%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show-faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="padding: 0px 0px; border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:70px;"></iframe></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SummerRainRecordings?a=xV8vejPoacQ:4cyI3akx5OE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SummerRainRecordings?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SummerRainRecordings/~4/xV8vejPoacQ" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://summerrainrecordings.net/blog/some-great-articles-and-reviews-on-auditory-canvas-fabric-of-life/
