US #32 (08-97).mp3 is Neo Dream (B) from Kosinus Virtual Nature. One of my favorite production music albums.

US #34 (08-97).mp3 could be another Kosinus or Atmosphere. 26, 28 and 35 sound very familiar. Most of them shout FirstCom but none that I immediately recognize. I would recommend searching their rock and sport albums.

[JMTeixeira]

US #06 also heard in the 1987 NBA film "Drive For Five", recapping the Los Angeles Lakers 86/87 season. No clue aside from the feeling that it might belong to a discontinued MT or UT Firstcom edition.

This is great guys keep it up! Please let me know if you can find any more!

Thanks, godzfire, for posting this thread, and for linking primetimemusic.net.

Thanks, as well, to Retronator for ID'ing Neo Dream.  I'm going to post an update on the site about it later today.  Also, greetings to JMTeixeira, who I've interacted with many times on youtube.


Any help anyone can provide on identifying these songs is much appreciated.

[Craig-UK]

Could you update the post with the latest ones please Godz? I do listen out for these as I go search for the wrestling tracks.

One track that I recognised but not sure if it was NFL was "Funky Future" from Tele Music (hxxps://app.bmgproductionmusic.nl/carrier/142127)

UPDATE 03/21: It was brought to my attention that the single preview links were not matching their proper songs. I have now corrected this, my apologies

All remaining songs to be ID'd are posted.


Here's 'The Drive For Five' LA Lakers video JMTeixeira spoke of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPL7ptoc1ss. In the 'Music in this video' section, it lists some, but not all of the production music used. I'm not sure where the song he referenced plays.

[JMTeixeira]

Thank you godzfire. It's heard starting in the 2:14 minute of the film.

I have just downloaded ATMOSCD 1 thanks to joakim95 and "Transmission" sounds very familiar, I am sure I have heard it for some NFL but I don't hear it in these recordings. It might be in those that JMTeixeira posted but I could not find a match but I am pretty sure I hear commentary when I listen to that track.

It's also on ATMOS 013 (LP) - Zaptrax.  I downloaded that album a while ago, though I don't remember exactly where.

US #42 is "Liberation Day," by Paul Foss.  Here's my link to the blog post:  https://www.primetimemusic.net/2019/05/unknown-song-42-identified.html

What? Copyright claim didn't come until more than 6 months after the video was posted? Well, that'd be a first... and a hopeful for a lot of us.

I know, right.  Every other copyright notice I've gotten (aside from maybe 1) came within a few minutes of the video's upload.

I heard another track that might have been used but I cannot find a rec for it. It sounds very familiar to me but isn't wrestling (it seems) so has to be one of the many NFL recordings I have heard "Funky Future" from Tele Music (TM 3081). Do let me know if you recognise it.

It wasn't used on Primetime, but it does sound vaguely familiar.  It definitely sounds like the stuff NFL Films used in the '80s.
