US #27 & US #28 Update

The artists on "Determination" are Andrew Mark & Chris Michael Zurzolo, while the composers of "Racing to Victory" are Mandy & Daniel Schleifer.  The linked posts have been updated to reflect these name updates.  Thanks again to Craig-UK for the info.

Unknown Song #28 Identified

As I mentioned in the last post, US #28 was identified on the Library Music Themes board back in August.  The song's name is "Determination," and it's contained on disc 702 of the Pyramid library.  I couldn't really find any info on the Pyramid library or even the first names of the artists (C. Michaels & A. Mark) who composed Determination.  If anyone knows more about Pyramid or the composers, please comment on this blog or on youtube.  Oh, and special thanks to Retromatic on the LMT board for finding this one.

Artist(s) - Chris Zurzolo, Andrew Mark

Released - 1993

Primetime Usage - 1994-96
Contained on - pyr 702 (Sports/Action)

Featured Highlight - Patriots @ Jets, 1996

*SONG IDENTIFIED* - 10/3/19 

There isn't much complexity to Unknown Song #28, but it's still a better highlight track than the last couple songs I've posted.  US #28 does the basics well, as some hard edge and a driving rock beat are enough to make any NFL Primetime track at least passable.  It's lack of direction & melody means it doesn't really do anything beyond that, though.  Still, the track is a good accent for any high-energy football game.

I listed US #28 as being used from 1994-96, but I've only seen one instance of it being used outside of 1996 (Week 11, 1994).  That also means I'm not certain it was actually used in 1995 (*EDIT* - a comment by Kyle Caughlin on youtube indicates it was used at least a couple times in '95).  At any rate, here's a 1996 highlight of Rich Kotite's hard-luck Jets getting robbed late against Drew Bledsoe & the Patriots.

*EDIT* - The BMG website isn't hosting the Pyramid music label anymore, so I replaced that link with Craig-UK's youtube post of this song.  Special thanks to him for specifically putting that song up for this purpose.

*LATER EDIT* - the YouTube post is gone now (10/2024).
