ESPN Baseball Tonight unidentified tracks

[rajah_d]

I've found a few of the highlight music tracks used by the show on my own, but I'd appreciate any help in identifying these others -- I know some of them have been used for general promos, not just sports highlights. The release dates for each are probably between 1991-2005, most likely 1997-2005. Thanks for any help you can provide!

(3/5/25 EDIT: All others identified -- replacement links for the 6 remaining tracks below have been scrubbed of VO and audio normalized, as with the 7 NEW requested IDs below that)

ADDED 3/5/25: Adding some new ID requests, with VO scrubbed and normalized audio. I thought I was done, but then found a few more. The ID sites seem to be coming up with a blank for each, although one keeps misidentifying track N-28 below as "Andale - TIKK", which isn't really even a close match!

Thanks once again for any assistance!

I have a list in the "Film, TV, and Radio Cues" topic of 51 tracks that I HAVE identified, most published between 1991 and 2002, involving the publishes listed below -- but I'm hitting a wall with these others.

After 2007, the music used by the show increasingly takes a turn to the hard rock / hard alternative / metal genre, and after listening to more tracks online than I can count, I need to clear my head! What I've found and what I'm looking for are tracks that have been distinctive enough to have caught my attention, before they all begin to fuse into one electric guitar-led mass.

Libraries where I've already identified tracks used include AirCraft, Apple Trax, Atmosphere (only one so far; I'm thinking there might be more), Chappell/Warner Chappell, Chronic Trax, De Wolfe, Firstcom (also, surprisingly, only one so far), Hudson, Killer Trax, Manhattan, MasterSource (some of the comparitively newer, harder-edged songs), Match, NYB, and Groove Addicts.

Again, thanks for any help. If there is a way that I can post these clips more effectively for use, please let me know!

BBT-Missing track 1 - "Speed Games" KPM
#3 & #5 sounds familiar but can't put my finger on it yet
BBT-Missing track 20 - "The Days Of My Life (b)" Chappell Recorded Music Library

If you're able to remove the vocals from these recordings and upload them again, I will gladly re-check them as I bet I could probably knock quite a few off your list

I would recommend using https://uvronline.app/ai?hp (formerly x-minus) or mvsep.com

[rajah_d]

Thank you, @Craig-UK! That's a hit on both! I'll check out the program that you recommended and I'll try to work on reuploading the others. I must confess, I hadn't even checked KPM.

Here's the rest of the first 10 (Edited: Deleted tracks identified):

That's nothing short of amazing work! Thank you so much for all your efforts.

I'm embarrassed to say that I'd reviewed two of the albums you identified and had identified other tracks from them, but I didn't consider the leaders for the unidentified tracks, so I didn't immediately recognize them. I'm even more embarrassed to say that I'd already identified "Shockwave" and didn't pick up on the fact that I had it as Unidentified. Guess that happens when you're juggling 60+ tracks in your head!

That said, it looks like the tracks from two Firstcom albums -- FC-A11 (Emergency Rescue - Underscore) and FC-A40 (Day By Day - Underscore) -- don't look like they're available anywhere. It appears that they've been requested elsewhere on this board, but those links are apparently dead now. Would you be able to point me at them? Lossless or lossy, I'd be able to work with either.

Thanks again!

Here are the flacs for "Emergency Rescue" and low quality mp3 for "Day By Day" as I do not have the CD - hxxps://mega.nz/folder/tUB0UDxD#oGpAZkp3bKTwDrq5Q9rNPQ

Thank you, Craig!

I have a different couple of clips for two of the tracks requested above that may help in identification.

(Slightly more of the music can be heard -- Firstcom Corporate, maybe? Have no idea)

(Still no clue at all as to the origin of this one, but it required almost no scrubbing -- this might be a much shorter piece repeated, as it sounds to my ear like it's been edited together)

That did help

#15 is "Here At Last!" Josef Weinberger (JWCD 2001)

[rajah_d]

Thank you again, Craig! That's yet another library, and I would have been looking forever for that one. That's now 72 tracks identified, with 20 different labels by my count. Also, thanks to lbjames on the board for sharing this album!

Unfortunately, the scrubbing may have an adverse effect on Track 16, which is the track remaining that I have the most interest in. It's kind of a Southern Rock-boogie with a horn section. Most of it gets lost because there's just no example without constant VO chatter. I'd place the vintage anywhere between 1996 and 2004, if anyone has any ideas on it. I could see someone using this as an intro for wrestling, but I haven't been able to track it down that way either.

The tracks I have labeled as "Touch 'Em All" and "Web Gems" were likely published between the same dates, most likely after 2000.

This YT link has all three of those tracks in use -- #16 at 3:24 (but cuts out before the horns), 59:52 for Touch 'Em All, 1:01:07 for Web Gems.

The rest of them are not particularly important -- 2, 4, and the "Who's Hot Who's Not" track are gravy in comparison to what's been identified already! Thanks again, and I hope this helps anybody who might be working on a video production project.

Bump for new ID requests.
