Here's <a href="http://download.yousendit.com/667B39E111BEF283"> The Rainmakers "Small Circles" acoustic version</a>. I had the pleasure of working with the band when they were on PolyScam Records. I worked in the video department and was the label's video production manager. I directed an EPK for the "Tornado" lp in Minneapolis during the shoot for the "Snake Dance" video. We went into a recording studio and recorded an acoustic version of "Small Circles" and then played it back several times and made a quick video for the EPK. The acoustic version made it to the import single CD and is now on the "Tornado" reissue. Their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000EU1HRQ/ericacticecom"> long out-of-print indie album, "Balls"</a>, has recently been reissued too. They were/are a bunch of great guys and one of the only bands I worked with whose music I really liked.

Thanks for this version. Is this version you played on the reissue? That had to be an excellent experience working with the band. Best Regards
