SatAM Soundtrack and Unreleased Themes
It all started in early 2006 when Cheezmatt of Fans United for SatAM e-mailed Michael Tavera, the talented composer who created the music for SatAM, asking him whether there was any way to get ahold of the music from the series. Not expecting much to come from it, Matt was surprised to receive a reply straight from Tavera himself. He was even more surprised when Tavera was willing to retrieve whatever music he had in his archives and send it to him in the form of a CD—for free!
Things moved slowly at first, but then one day Matt received this in the mail:
After giving it a listen, he was surprised to find that only three or four of the twelve tracks were straight from the show itself. The rest of the tracks turned out to be unused themes or "demo music," according to Tavera's engineer, Scott Cochran. These demo tracks were most likely created when the show was in its conceptual stages, when it was more lighthearted like Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Apparently most of the actual music from the series was sent straight to DiC without backups, and now DiC won't even let Tavera have copies of his own music. Nevertheless, we should be happy with what we got.
I volunteered to host the files on my webspace, so Matt shipped them over to me and I loaded them up for the rest of the world to hear. Now I present them to you with your choice of two MP3 file sizes:
Track 1 [160kbps] - Main orchestral theme of SatAM
Track 2 [160kbps] - Same as Track 1 (different bit depth in original version)
Track 3 [160kbps] - Unused theme song
Track 4 [160kbps] - Unused theme song
Track 5 [160kbps] - Unused theme song
Track 6 [160kbps] - Unused theme song
Track 7 [160kbps] - Unused theme song
Track 8 [160kbps] - Unused music
Track 9 [160kbps] - Used in Captain N: The Game Master
