Over-the-top guitar rock. Super fast and energetic. Hard hitting drums and metallic guitars perfect for demolition derbies, ski-jump accidents, etc.
-
VH000102
1:07
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!
-
VH000103
1:11
Big horn, very proud, good movie open. Music after the slo-mo finish of a close race or an American victory at the Olympics.
-
VH000105
1:06
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
0:42
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
0:54
Mid-tempo, heavy insistent beat, neutral tone, processed choir underneath the drums. More neutral @:30
-
VH000109
0:38
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.
-
VH000110
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.
-
VH000111
2:06
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.
-
VH000113
0:58
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.
-
VH000117
0:35
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
0:35
Funky, upbeat, fast-paced Country/Funk with Soul-tinged horn stabs, an overzealous organ player, and raucous piano playing. Very happy and celebratory.
-
VH000121
0:36
70s old school funk, rough around the edges but still slammin'.
-
VH000122
0:46
Groovin' live-sounding positive feeling.
-
VH000123
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
1:09
Fast modern African groove w/ metallic ostinato and movement. Good "Building Something Cool" or science piece. Gets faster @:37.
-
VH000129
0:48
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
0:50
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.
-
VH000132
0:40
Fast, dense, mechanical Hip-Hop groove processed w/ distortion and resonators. Unique, sharp drum hits.
-
VH000133
1:14
Percussion, low synth drones, Balinesian bell and heavy drum-based piece creates a feeling of dramatic movement and activity. Really gets going @ :47.
-
VH000134
0:37
Pounding industrial groove w/ heavy breathing and twisted guitar pulls and hits. Foreboding and mechanical, good for aggressive image spots and sports.
-
VH000135
0:37
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.
-
VH000139
1:14
Haitian percussion w/ drum kit. Neutral beat builds light tension over entire :30; eases into lighter, simpler beat @:31 Suggests positive, forward movement.
-
VH000140
0:38
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.
-
VH000141
1:50
Happy! Pop! It's a power ballad featuring drum machines, drum loops and @:11, ultra-positiveanthemic synths suggesting happy, bittersweet (but lightweight) memories.
-
VH000142
1:11
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.
-
VH000143
0:50
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.
-
VH000144
1:10
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."
-
VH000145
0:47
Upbeat and mysterious dance music with hits, samples of chanting monks and ethnic percussion. Good fast bed.
-
VH000146
1:10
Guitar and piano create a neutral/slightly emotional setting. Good for family stories or positive events. Drums provide the hits. @:53 it gets more positive and casual.
-
VH000147
1:02
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.
-
VH000148
1:32
Mellow, jazzy, salsa-tinged. It's cocktail hour at the Oak Room. @ :35 more upbeat. @:53 even more upbeat.
-
VH000149
0:38
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.

Children's music. Celeste, flute and violin frolic in a grassy field.
-
VH000151
1:28
Playful, frolicking children's music. Mr. Bouncing Clarinet! Ms. Tinkly Celeste! The Smiling Calliope! Creepy Uncle Fergus! Percussion, Harp, Violin and Bells round out this fairytale wonderland.
-
VH000152
1:01
Jungle ambiance with a moderate dance beat and shifting synth pads. Positive. Good for ecological stories and anything about nature.
-
VH000153
0:46
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.
-
VH000154
0:39
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.
-
VH000155
1:03
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.
