My Ten Most Wanted MotorWeek Unknown Cues

[ζBUS]

Hello again! I present my ten most wanted unknown pre-2000 MotorWeek cues again.

Some are new, others from the last time I posted about this subject with all those mega.nz folders containing dozens of unidentified tracks. But I've decided to just forget about all that and focus on 10 unknown cues I like the most.

Track 1
Origin: Episode 611 (1987)
Video: Sorry, can't find one!
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/1hLkNZunz7jT
Notes: An early '80s pop gem most likely from the Capitol's Media Music The Professional library. This was heard in the Plymouth AAA Repair School segment in the episode.

Track 2
Origin: Episode 709 (1987)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejx6xnyDCFg&t=20s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/19A6Voi4MRmG
Notes: This booming '80s hi-tech piece has a chance of being an obscure mainstream song or film soundtrack instead.

Track 3
Origin: Episode 709 (1987) again
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejx6xnyDCFg&t=65s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/1iVTdMbYQz4h
Notes: Sorry, but this segment and music are so good I wanted to find both tracks in it. This ambient hi-tech piece is much more likely to be library than the other one.

Track 4
Origin: Episode 903 (1989)
Video: https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip-394-37vmczq8?start=1463.73&end=1669.62
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/1uf9xqTw1Yxv
Notes: AirCraft's ACL 002 "Comedy Craft" has similar tracks to this one, but no match. This old-fashioned jazz sample is now much longer than it was in the old mega.nz folder.

Track 5
Origin: Episode 920 (1990)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT0j5nxDriY&t=97s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/13j1URl1eGjy
Notes: Definitely sounds like a later Capitol Hi-"Q" or early Media Music track to me. Check tracks by Ib Glindemann or his aliases for this particular light orchestral cue.

Track 6
Origin: Episode 1006 (1990)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNIN36QW17g&t=24s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/1or4isx8RNzD
Notes: Definitely check tracks by Jim Jacobsen or his aliases (particularly James Williamson). This '80s light pop cue's ocean wave sample was later used in "African Savannah" from OGM Premium 4.

Track 7
Origin: Episode 1429 (1995)
Video: Sorry, can't find one!
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/16tiMpX0btUY
Notes: One of my shorter unknown cue samples; is this a Kosinus, OGM, or Sound Stage (AVF) hard rock tune I somehow missed? This was from the episode's Grand Touring segment about travelling Minnesota via snowmobile.

Track 8
Origin: Episode 1542 (1996)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMKJyiBKdlY&t=39s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/13PEjcq5etHk
Notes: Bother that Kawasaki ZX-7R's noisy engine lol. Portions of this hard rock track's audio sample are still quite clean though.

Track 9
Origin: Episode 1719 (1998)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fHziYnL9_Q&t=38s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/12KbfB9eAVhG
Notes: This jazz fusion track appears to be split into three parts. Maybe check the former Promusic labels; I heard two Parry tracks in a different episode from Season 17.

Track 10
Origin: Episode 1832 (1999)
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8-3BbSvfh0&t=21s
Audio with vocals removed: https://voca.ro/18EKCyhMn88G
Notes: This techno track is apparently the fingerprinter's arch nemesis; it gives a false match from every single PKLZ file! Could be from any former Audio Action or Killer Tracks label from the late '90s. Good luck!

Have fun identifying these everyone, and thanks in advance!
