  1. I haven't been able to find some of these tracks on the normal sites (zophars domain, project 2612, etc.) Am I just missing them?

    1. You're not overlooking them! A few of these tracks had to be pulled from YouTube because, as you discovered, they're missing from the usual places. They were:

      -- Lakers versus Celtics - Title Screen
      -- NHL Hockey - Opening Theme
      -- FIFA Internation Soccer - BGM 3

      I couldn't tell you for sure why so many sports games came up missing, but the common thread among these particular three is that they're all EA titles. That said, plenty of other EA sports game soundtracks exist on Zophar's and were drawn upon for this mixtape... so who knows!

    1. Hi again! I'm back just to point out that Jeff van Dyck has a ton of mp3s of his compositions available for download on his website, some of which aren't available or easily located elsewhere: http://jeffvandyck.com/

      It's also fun to poke around there and see what he's up to these days. I'd actually seen the trailer for Assault Android Cactus some time ago and thought to myself, "Hey, I dig this music." What do I find when I visit Mr. van Dyck's website? That it's no surprise I liked the tune -- he was the composer!

      And the stuttering touchdown is clearly the best segment of that track.
