Over-the-top guitar rock. Super fast and energetic. Hard hitting drums and metallic guitars perfect for demolition derbies, ski-jump accidents, etc.

Blues guitar alterno-Texas style. Swings by Austin with heavier sound and serious energy @:15. Detours into blues funk @:33 with a kickin' rhodes solo. Great road music!

Big horn, very proud, good movie open. Music after the slo-mo finish of a close race or an American victory at the Olympics.

Trouble on the beach! Will our David Hasselhoff-like hero save her before her mascara runs? Tense drums, muted guitar and pulsing background synths keep the drama high.
-
VH000106
1:08
40's style rollickin' and cartoony piano, brushed drums, and acoustic bass with a boogie-strut. Grandma gets busy. Perfect for bloopers, comedy, light-entertainment, sports and clowns. Takes a turn for the Jazzy @:34 with an acoustic bass solo.
-
VH000107

Way over-the-top extreme guitar blowout with a Hard Rock/Metal vibe. Driving, loud, chainsaw guitars with dives, pulls and huge drums. Explodes into a weed-whacking frenzy @:19.
-
VH000108

Mid-tempo, heavy insistent beat, neutral tone, processed choir underneath the drums. More neutral @:30

Great guitar, bass and drums for a 90s organic (but commercial) pop/rock sound. And we kept the hits. Sounds like a popular commercial for a not-so-popular clear malt beverage.
-

1:12
Major foot-tapping, easygoing, Americana Pop/Rock. Positive mood set by light acoustic guitar, organ and piano that roll along, making it great for road trips, spending time with friends, happy memories and beer commercials.
-

Remember the 70s? Well, thanks to excessive drug use, a lot of people don't. Take a trip (sorry) down memory lane with a mid-tempo bass, guitar and organ combo that offers an equal blend of fun and attitude. Subtle mood changes throughout.
-
VH000112
1:03
Light feel, positive with a heavy beat. Good "Triumph of Human Spirit" piece.
-

Lively, light upbeat and slightly mentally deficient. With horn stabs, organ flourishes, and a danceable feel. Happy :) Did we also say that it's positive? Good for kid's stuff.
-
VH000114
0:33
Light and punchy w/ horn stabs and prominent slapped bass, hairdryer solo, dying bagpipes and some kind of bird @:20, all combining to suggest 80s Rap. Light entertainment piece.
-
VH000115
1:09
You've stepped into a Texas Blues bar. Fast moving, rollickin' Blues Rock. Good for light, positive news stories. Even better for road trips, travelogues and when you really need a cut with a crappy ending. Sorry about that.
-
VH000116
1:20
Hyper Country Blues Rock with bitchin' guitar, funky drums - and no-adjective-comes-to-mind organ. Organ solo @:37 and builds slowly @1:00 for a big finish.

Straight ahead chugga-chugga guitar. Steady motion w/ a gradual increase in tension.
-
VH000118
1:25
Another 70s Funk groove - but more attitude this time around. Scattered horn hits and heavy slapped bass throughout. Good for basketball or any action sport. Not recommended for coverage of chess tournaments.
-
VH000119
0:51
Synth funk on the positive end of neutral with a slight suggestion of mystery/questioning. Several mood variations (last section is more cinematic) w/ constant motion.
-
VH000120

Funky, upbeat, fast-paced Country/Funk with Soul-tinged horn stabs, an overzealous organ player, and raucous piano playing. Very happy and celebratory.

70s old school funk, rough around the edges but still slammin'.
-
VH000122

Groovin' live-sounding positive feeling.
-

1:13
Aggressive Techno Rock. Big guitars, drum loops and hard synths. Good for hard-hitting video game ads or suggesting some kind of testosterone overdose. Big power chords @:36.
-
VH000124
0:37
Foreboding muted guitar and hip-hop beat foretell serious energy explosion @ :15 with a dramatic dynamic change and loud guitars.
-
VH000125
1:35
Beat-driven, phased/delayed electric guitars create a positive, slightly tense bed of activity. Good for news and non-extreme sports, like speed eating.
-
VH000126
1:07
Fast-moving, driving percussion - like a machine breaking down at hyperspeed. Bass drum is grenade launcher, snare is breaking glass. Gets weirder as it goes along. Big hits.
-
VH000127
0:49
A cinematic opening featuring metallic and orchestral percussion. Slightly tinged with mystery and tension - building slowly throughout. Proud and expansive - good for image spots and news.
-
VH000128

Fast modern African groove w/ metallic ostinato and movement. Good "Building Something Cool" or science piece. Gets faster @:37.
-
VH000129

All percussion (congas, bongos), hits, funky beats and, yes, record scratches! Firmly cementing the death of this once-creative dancefloor staple. Driving and fast. Closer to neutral.
-
VH000130

Dramatic and fast-moving percussion-based piece. Big toms and electronic percussion create a forceful, testicular, beat-driven promo track good for action and image spots.
-
VH000131
0:33
Latin-tinged drum kit and percussion solo, replete with cuicas, congas, and garbage cans. Medium tempo. Sets a lighter, less serious to neutral tone. Lots of movement, plenty of hits.
-

Fast, dense, mechanical Hip-Hop groove processed w/ distortion and resonators. Unique, sharp drum hits.
-

Pounding industrial groove w/ heavy breathing and twisted guitar pulls and hits. Foreboding and mechanical, good for aggressive image spots and sports.

The name says it all. Bells. An upbeat drum groove. Cymbal hits help to liven things up a bit. Slightly tense, slightly positive, slightly indecisive.
-
VH000136
0:44
Slightly sinister edged rhythm performed by processed hand drums and toms, giving the impression of intrigue and clandestine activity. Or for the vocabulary-challenged: spy stories.
-
VH000137
1:45
An upbeat drum kit duet. Multiple hits help to make this a good piece to accentuate a series of fast cuts, or to give a slower piece a sense of movement. Constant breaks and transitions help to prevent this from becoming Inna Gadda Da Vida-esque.
-
VH000138
0:55
Very fast percussion and electronic drums with solid hits and a constantly rising sense of frantic urgency. Good for diuretic commercials and adult diapers.

Haitian percussion w/ drum kit. Neutral beat builds light tension over entire :30; eases into lighter, simpler beat @:31 Suggests positive, forward movement.
-

It's those subway bucket guys, pounding on plastic buckets, metal pipes, and other "found" percussion. Good for suggesting Do-It-Yourself projects, industriousness and beating the hell out of your contractor.

Happy! Pop! It's a power ballad featuring drum machines, drum loops and @:11, ultra-positiveanthemic synths suggesting happy, bittersweet (but lightweight) memories.
-

It's Charlie Brown south of the border! That sounds disgusting, but I swear it's not a euphemism. Very, very happy. Frolicking piano, Reggae/Latin backbeat, laid-back percussion and bouncing bass.

Ethereal and melodic with underlying dance beat, upbeat, positive synths and percussion. Richly textured (both Urban and pretty) music to dream or have rated-PG intimacy during.

It's a skip through the meadow on a bright spring day. Bed-like warm, wandering piano lead, delayed drums, pads and percussion create a feeling of family, first love, freedom and emotionally "going commando."

-
VH000147

Happily lilting, African Pop-like song with a gentle melody and Garage-tinged Hip Hop drum beat. Guitar, bass, & drums. Positive. @:30 it's only bass & drums with heavier processing.

Mellow, jazzy, salsa-tinged. It's cocktail hour at the Oak Room. @ :35 more upbeat. @:53 even more upbeat.

Amen, brother! Foot-stompin, pew-shakin', have `em dancing-in-the-aisles gospel music. Glorious piano and divine organ with an inspirational rhythm section. Further proof that we're incurably white.

You're in the Serengeti with smiling creatures befriending you at every turn. African choir samples with bamboo flute and tons of African percussion. Celebratory and nauseatingly positive.
-

X-mas song with gravity, but hopeful. Suitable for news or serious story. French horn lead, orchestral strings and tons of bells that scream "holidays!" - which makes it awkward to sleep with them.
-

Automobile-themed. Moving wiper blades and car horns with percussion and bass. Driving (natch) feel. Upper-mid tempo. @:31 drum roll breaks into more neutral bed. Fade-out ending.

Yup, it's snoring. You'll probably never, ever, ever need this. But if you do- especially in a pinch-please give us a call and praise us silly for this demonstration of our unerring insight into the needs of the producer.
