Any instrument emulations must be indistinguishable from the real thing. Stylish and slick production is essential; think movement within film trailers." They don't want tracks that sound like they were obviously MIDI generated -- authenticity and great performances are the keys. Both instrumentals with lead melody lines and basic backing tracks that serve as "soundbeds" are OK -- they want both. All tempos are OK. Track length should be in the 1:00 -- 3:00 range. orNEW LISTING -- A wide range of great ELECTRONICA/TRIP HOP SONGS & INSTRUMENTALS from up-tempo club-like tracks a la the Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Fatboy Slim to mid- and slow-tempo tracks a la Tricky, Portishead, and Morcheeba are needed by a West Coast-based Music Publisher who typically supplies music to companies such as Muzak (tracks for retail shops, restaurants, malls, etc.).but you'd have to listen to the a la's as I'm not familiar with themcheersH'Bird

Although it doesn't specifically say "orchestral" it does say "energetic cinematic movement" and talks about instrument emulations needing to be like the real thing. Even if they're open to all styles it seems that they'd be leaning toward "film trailer" style orchestral stuff with big bombastic percussion.The second easily fits the song (or the other way around), plus it's wide open as far as the basic style as long as it's electronica.

Yeah I figured for the Action music they'd want more orchestral stuff, that's why I'm in such a hurry for Tascam to send me my CDKEY for my gigastudio, I've been battling with this for a month now... Not their fault, my copy was owned by a previous dude and so we needed to change ownership etc....Once again, thanks for all your advice guys and gals!!!
