Thanks, another very useful listing of library tracks used in productions. It's quite likely they've been used in many other shows and this list might help with research.

Thanks for this list. Maybe I can find that one particular cue that was used in the Antarctica segment.

I think it was "Molecules". I just did a post on identifying music cues from "State of Art of Computer Animation" and wondered if the track that was also featured on that video was used on 321 Contact because it had the same type of style of music that I remembered. I purchased it from Amazon and listened to it closely and I'm sure it is. I've been looking for a long time for that music!

Molecules by Kerry Beaumont (13:04)

That's the one! I never realized I had the whole track on "The State of the Art of Computer Animation" (48:53)



Thanks again!
