Help with Ren & Stimpy reboot

[AllenJ]

I've just finished doing music breakdowns for the still-unaired-as-of-yet Ren & Stimpy reboot (I was planning on waiting until it officially came out, but that's looking increasingly unlikely to happen and I figured I might as well do it as long as the episodes are out there): renandstimpymusic.com/comedy-central-series

Putting these together was both easier and harder than it was for the original show and Adult Party Cartoon. On the one hand, AHA Music Identifier was a huge help (meaning there was less of a need to go searching for tracks manually) but on the other hand, the reboot uses music from far more sources than the original show or APC ever did - besides the usual suspects (APM and CPM), there's also BMG Production Music, Sound Ideas, Audio Network, AudioSparx, Cavendish Music, Extreme Music, West One Music, Jingle Punks, and at least twelve other libraries, plus a few tracks that don't even seem to be library music. It's a huge mess to keep track of, and was part of the reason I eventually quit doing this for SpongeBob. Thankfully, this was less daunting due to being only ten episodes, whereas SpongeBob is still ongoing with no end in sight.

I'm not going to provide links to the full episodes, but I've made dialogue-free audio samples of the tracks I couldn't identify, which I've collected in a Google document (note that some of these are very short and a couple were hard to get clean samples of, so they may be a bit difficult to make out): docs.google.com/document/d/1DP9GXpfDKU3UFuC5O-HOWWLQ9K0VMYOowqrXucN20tU

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bumping to mention that I've identified some new tracks since I originally posted this, including a bunch from Sound Ideas (from what I can tell, almost any music that plays on a TV, radio or phone in the reboot tends to be from there). I've also discovered that many of the libraries used for the reboot are available on protunes.com, so it may be a good idea to try searching that site. (The sound editor for the reboot was Michael Kohler of Bluetube, in case anyone wants to try contacting him - I'm hesitant to do it myself due to the reboot still not being officially out yet)

[AllenJ]

So it turns out one of the non-library tracks that I thought played in the reboot ("Around the Crystal Cove" by John Mitchell) actually uses a choir sample from Sound Ideas, and now I'm wondering if the same is true for the three other non-library tracks I found through AHA Music Identifier. Two of them ("Scorpio - I Create" and "Saggitarius - I Perceive") are from an album called "The Music of the Zodiac" by Jeffrey Baker, while the third ("Wait of the World: 1. And Now the Children Lead") is apparently part of a symphony called "Stormworks" by Stephen Melillo. As far as I can tell, all three of these are wholly the work of the credited composers, but just to be on the safe side, can someone confirm that they don't contain any samples from Sound Ideas or elsewhere? Thanks.

I've also discovered that one of the unknown tracks on my list (2 Slow 2 Furious 6) was sampled in a song called "Play My Jazz" by 4 Wings, so I suspect it may be from Sound Ideas as well, but I haven't managed to find it yet.

Hi! I've found a couple of things:

1. The title card track in Table for Human is "According to Pierre" by Juan Abrego from BMG Production Music.

2. In 2 Slow 2 Furious, the track "Beds, Accents, Logos, Stingers - Laser Groove" from Elements Cafe 4 by Sound Ideas can be heard at the start of the episode.

3. In Screentime, the fourth out of the five tracks heard when Stimpy's scrolling sounds a bit like "Perfect Smile 14 (Sting)" by Tom Peters and Lorenzo De Feo from Audio Network. I'm not really sure about that, given your theory about how most incidental TV music and such used in the show is from Sound Ideas, but maybe you should consider that.

4. This is more of a question, but still. On your blog, you list "Dance of the Hours (Full)" playing again at the end of Table for Human during the shot of the lost dog flyer. What part of that track is used exactly? Because I don't really hear it personally.

I don't think that's it; the instrumentation is too different. Thanks anyway, though.

It's slightly before the 6-minute mark.

A new development has been discovered. User Bigeyedpig (AKA Pigman) has edited the Production Music Wiki page for the reboot to match "Paramount Global's production music catalog" (whatever that is) now listing identified tracks, which seemingly were from one-off used libraries (and AudioSparx) with different titles and changed libraries to mostly MIBE Music and Jingle Punks. These two are both libraries which aren't fully available to listen to without promper permits, so I guess it makes sense why these would slip through the cracks, but this makes me ask. Does that mean these tracks are re-releases, or using the same samples from some third-party sample pack? Are there any more tracks from MIBE or JP in the reboot that are yet to be identified? Does Bigeyedpig have them available to check, since he supplied Skywalker Guy with that yoga track from Gumball?
I suppose contacting him would answer at least some of these questions, but for now I want to revive this thread since it kinda stagnated after the few initial posts, and maybe Pigman, as he's known on LMT, will see this and answer publically.

Here's a link to the PMW article: https://productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/Ren_%26_Stimpy_(Comedy_Central)

Just found another one earlier today. Powdered Toast Man! The Movie 4 is "Bag of Nuts" by Jack Elliot, also from MIBE Music. I downloaded the track sourced from Paramount's PM sourceaudio, here's a link for those who can't access: drive.google.com/file/d/1ELWNms4qSwLCYwVdF1RSx_3Xc2O_7Osf/view?usp=sharing

Also, the mentioned "Paramount Global's production music catalog" is Paramount Global's SourceAudio catalog of libraries they have the rights to use. here is the link: hxxps://www.paramountglobalmusiclibrary.com/, but once again it's a log-in approved kinda thing.

[Pigman]

Also "PSC" is a library called Pink Shark Music

[LibraryGuy78]

Also "PSC" is a library called Pink Shark Music

That label is on the Protunes site so I don't think you need a login for that one.

Interesting that Paramount has a catalog where all the libraries they license are grouped. It's also interesting that a lot of these MIBE tracks that were republished elsewhere drop Ethan Anderson and Andrew Wellington from their credits.

Unrelated to Ren and Stimpy, but given the one track believed to be from Songs To Your Eyes is actually from MIBE, is it also possible that "Beautiful Minds" by Kathy Talbot that was also in the Gumball episode The Uploads is also from MIBE (and likely with a different name)? It wouldn't be surprising, since it's the exact same episode Yoga Training was also in.
