I have a few tunes which I would like identified by band, I have tried before and no one seemed to know.
The first batch was recorded off of the radio in the first half of the eighties and is instrumental jazz/rock fusion. I have clips from 5 different songs, all most likely by the same band.
Right click and download them here (these are low quality 30 second to a minute .wav files, just enough to get the gist of each song).
The next was taken from radio (used as a promo to a radio show) in the late nineties and is instrumental prog rock. The clip features a saxaphone solo.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks! |

Clip 3 sounds a bit like Colloseum. Clip 5 and Clip 6 (i.e., Clip 1) were not available when I clicked on them.

Thanks for the Dixie Dregs recommendation. I got 4 out of 6 labeled because of that.
Two of them were from Dixie Dregs and two from Steve Morse's Introduction album.

If it's the clip that features a sax solo, in case it would be by dixie dregs it doesn't appear on any of their albums. But maybe it's an unreleased track ?

No no no no, don't pay attention to past replies. I changed the numbering. Clip #2 is anything but Dixie Dreggs. Although clip #1 might be.

As a matter of fact I am. Clip #2 Jan Hammer? Not a bad guess. I own the Miami Vice: Complete Collection and Beyond The Minds Eye so I know it isn't from either of those.

Well, I finally found out what clip #2 was.
It was the song "Where's the Walrus?" by the Alan Parsons Project from their 1985 album, Steretomy.
Funny thing is I own 'I Robot' and the 2 disc 'Definitive Collection' from the Alan Parsons project.
I found this comment on Amazon;
"Hidden here (and a travesty that it was left off 'The Definitive Collection', an otherwise top notch collection) is 'Where's the Walrus?', my favorite Project song and the rare instrumental that energizes, mesmerizes, and is just plain fun all at the same time."
Another thing that made it difficult to pin down is the fact that, even though Alan Parsons in known for 'concept albums', I find that their instrumentals often sound very different than their songs with vocals.
