REN & STIMPY PRODUCTION MUSIC ...PART TWO!! (UNAVAILABLE)


UPDATE: The links got yanked, but check out the comments for some good news.

Here it is folks, the long-awaited second volume of vintage incidental music that was excavated for the Ren and Stimpy show. Most of this stuff seems to come from the post John K. era with several notable exceptions that were sorely missing from the first batch (i.e. Shock Horror which blared as the news "Ren Hoek Takes Bubbly Sponge Bath" hit the streets), but even if you're as unfamiliar with the later episodes as I am, you're still bound to find something you enjoy among the one hundred and ninety-four selections (that's five full hours to you and me). Compared to the last set this collection is much more massive, but it's less focused stylistically; however, this amounts to a broader and wackier range of music.

Once again, the original curators of this amassment remain shrouded in the shadows of cyberspace, but we can thank blogger Voncheech for recently upping them. And just like last time, I contributed a cover (featuring another Bill Wray masterwork), looked up and ID tagged the artists, and made a track list. Again I tried to arrange it according to musical styles. It starts with plucky mid-century easy listening, and turns glamorous before going nutso eclectic ( You name it...rag time, folk, barroom piano, jazz, country, big band, banjo pickin', traditional German, Irish, French, and Eastern, and no shortage of polkas) followed by romantic, classical, drama and suspense, all punctuated with an assortment of short cues. You're practically guaranteed to like it if you like the same things I do... wax paper... boiled football leather... dog breath. We're not hitchhiking anymore... we're riding.

194 tracks (MP3, 192 kbps), Run time: 5 hours
(for a list of track names see the comments on this post)

We provided production music for Ren & Stimpy as well. Please take a look!

I can't get this to download from Megaupload. It just keeps redirecting me to the front page and making me wait 45 seconds, then redirects me to the front page and the letter authorization again. Can some kind soul possibly upload this to Rapidshare?

Kirk D. said...

hey earl- give it another try now. It did the same thing to me earlier, but seems to be functioning again.
enjoy!

Simon Templar said...

Thank you for sharing Kirk! If you guys like this kind of library music you should definitely check out my two Retro Shopping compilations which are in the same happy-go-lucky style as the music used on the Ren & Stimpy show.

Kirk D. said...

The link is working again. enjoy!

Emmanuel Zolotarenko said...

Excelent contribution of all the freaks of ren & stimpy, i already downloaded both compilations and i want to give thanks to all the people that made this posible, you're great, and btw some songs were missing: Vesti la Giubba - by Enrico Caruso, Pas de Deux by Tchaikovsky, a night on a bald mountain by Mussorgsky and Funeral March by Charles Gounod. =) THANKS!

Where's Laurie Johnson's "Blood in the Gutter", one of the most recognized R&S cues?

Mind if someone makes a torrent (non-private) of both volumes?

Could someone please send me Volume II as a zip file, if they have it? keschjr@cox.net

Thanks so much!!!

Arthur Castro said...

I too can not find the Volume two zip available on google.... can someone upload a link on here or send me one!!! bowtierecords@yahoo.com

DoD said...

Man, no one has this uploaded anywhere else. Vol. 1s everywhere but no Vol. 2! If anyone re-uploads this I'll gladly re-upload it myself as well and spread it around.

Kirk D. said...

To those folks missing this one, believe it or not I don't even have it any more, it was on a hard drive that bit it. So I'll be on the lookout as well.

Ricardo said...

I think that, unfortunally, Vol 2 is now lost. There are some tracks on youtube, but only a very few. Please post here if anyone finds it!

Classical said...

I am kicking myself in the ass for not knowing about this when I first downloaded vol. 1. I like many of you have search high and low and have only found Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 has vanished. I would appreicate it if anyone reading this who has it to please up it. Heck in one file or two. That would be fantastic.

Dynis said...

Seeing there's a huge demand for the Vol. 2, I decided to upload it to my own server.

Please notice I will take the file down after a week or so, during which I believe it's been downloaded by many who, respectively, can mirror it again.

Kirk D. said...

Thank you, thank you Jukka!
You just made a lot of frustrated people VERY happy. Myself included.
Maybe I'll stop getting emails about this one now.

Kirk

Classical said...

Jukka I LOVE YOU.

Anonymous said...

Thank you! I will check back in time and mirror it myself if needed later on.

DoD said...

Alright, where can I upload a zip file this size to help out?

Oh HAPPY DAY!!!

Jukka you are a Saint!
Kirk you're a hero to us all!

I've been searching for a week in torrent hell
and just popped in to lay a wreath and weep,
but then THIS!

TA DA!

Unknown said...

Oh no, it seems the zip file is corrupt.

Any help with this?

Dynis said...

Did you try to download it again?

Anyway, the file has now been taken offline(kept it longer than I promised).
Hopefully some of you, who managed to get it, would then host it elsewhere.
It was a pleasure to help.

mark said...

someone please mirror, these treasures must be shared

Unknown said...

I HAVE GOOD NEWS.

I managed to get the ZIP of Vol. 2, it wasn't corrupt, Firefox just screwed up.

Anyways I'm uploading Volumes 1 and 2 combined to MediaFire, which doesn't delete files, and if they do, not as often.

If it expires, I'll re upload.

Anonymous said...

Thank you Kirk, this is fantastic!

Drod, can you please post the Mediafire link, or did I just miss it? Thanks!

Hey guys, I have been searching everywhere for this, but I can't find it. If someone could send me a link to get it, that would be very much appreciated. twillsbiz@gmail.com.

Hi,

I love this vintage production music and desperately want to download volume two but the links are all dead.
Can someone please help me out!

I am even willing to buy a copy on cd if need be.

read the post above yours ;)

Anonymous said...

I went to go download it but I dont know which program to use to open the file. What are you using?

Kirk D. said...

if it's a .rar file and you're on PC, try winrar
http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=mncol

search download.com if that link doesn't work.

Kord Chandler said...

link for jdownload doesn't work. anyone have a megaupload account or something they can post. i need these songs to expand my sample library.

Anonymous said...

these links do work, i just rechecked the availability of all the three archives in the mentioned dlc.

download the dlc from the forum post at www.vagos.fm. open the dlc either with jdownloader or cryptload, they will check the availability of the files and download them. these tools are especially useful for free users of rapidshare and the likes, as they can reconnect your dsl connection automatically after each download to avoid waiting times and volume limits.

Kirk! Thanks so much! And thank you everyone else who helped repost Volume 2. All these years watching Ren & Stimpy, I also loved the incidental music so much and I was so sad in my belief that I would never find out what those songs were.

Such a service, Kirk! You da man.

THANKS THANKS THANKS GOD BLESS

OmG..Thanks U guys...I've been looking for this music since I was a child. I thought that I would never be able to figure out what these songs were...Cheers to the Owner of this Blog..We all owe U one!

pointblizzy said...

BTW...Someone should add "Clair De Lune" to this album. One of the most beautiful songs featured on Rin and Stimpy:)This music is so great! especially Limelight Waltz!!

Andrew Sherman said...

Does anyone still know how to get these tracks? I can't seem to make the previous links work...

Look at my music list from the game toonstruck: http://home.arcor.de/lebostein/toonstruck.html

Many of this songs you can find in the ren & stimpy soundtrack also.

Hey guys! Does anyone know where we could get the "Silent Night by David Snell" piece of production music? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

This list doesn't seem to be complete. I just ran across an old gem the other day -- immediate LSD-like Ren & Stimpy flashback:

"Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott

You'll recognize it from the moment it starts :)

Any idea where this can be downloaded from nowadays? I just discovered this and would love to grab it. I've been doing research into what's PD and what's not to create a list of songs that VTubers can use for that "retro" vibe.
