Question for the Masses

Greetings all.

This is at least slightly off-topic, so I figured I'd post it here.  I have a question, and if anyone has a free moment to think about it, maybe you can help me out.

I was a fan of the old Toonami music video-type things back in the day.  The ones with a song and background voice sometimes, with a large collection of generally action-oriented images.  At various times, I have looked on several sites trying to track them all down.  I've located a number of them, but feel like I'm missing one, and it's been bugging me for some time.  Here's what I have, with some youtube links to jog memories if needed:

Classic music video types:

Broken Promise (Dreams) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMRsBsbsuu0
Ignition (Advanced Robotics) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0NJlTT1nRA
Walking Stick (Mad Rhetoric) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWA_hy32PI4

Semi music video-y:

Technologically Superior -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Kh0ojrX-o
Pardon Our Dust -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM9DtGcZPHE
Space is the Place -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1SbGZ1Fa4
Failed Experiment -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBSqqShchgg

Now, I know there were some others like Tougher than the Best, Stronger than the Rest, and Rising Sun that were advertising a programming block, and many that were advertising one individual show... those aren't the ones I'm trying to think of.  Just any more that are similar to the above -- it keeps nagging at me that I'm missing one.

Anyway, assuming this makes sense to anyone, if any of you get a free second to think about this, any help would be appreciated.  I know it's not the purpose of this site, and trust me, I'm in no rush, but I figure at least one other person out there has to be a collector of these, like me.

Thanks.

I don't remember much about Toonami, but http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/ has an excellent collection of various promos and stuff. I imagine maybe you know about this site already, but just in case :-D. I wish you the best of luck, I know what it's like to hunt down rare stuff.

Appreciate it, Mongo.  Yeah, that is one of the sites I've sifted through, lots of good stuff there.

It's possible I may not have missed one, but I have certain fuzzy images in my head that don't appear in any of the videos I've found so far.  Anyhow... like I mentioned, I've been looking off and on for awhile, and probably won't be giving up the quest anytime soon, so if anyone has any thoughts, let me know.  Even if someone stumbles upon this thread months down the line with information and noone's figured it out, drop a comment -- I've been a member/lurker here for years and will continue to check the thread.

Thanks!

I may not know of any music videos, but I may be able to weigh in here a little. Have you looked at the two Toonami albums? [Amended]. I know that the first one that was released - Deep Space Bass - [Amended], and the second one that was never released [Amended].

Edit: Send me a PM if you got any questions or anything.

Heya Terrorist, thanks for the reply, though it looks like your post got a bit chewed.

I do have a copy of Deep Space Bass (legit :-)) that I purchased from eBay not too long ago.  Unfortunately it was after Toonami was cancelled, so I'm sure I payed a premium.  I think... I might know the other to which you were referring, but to respect the moderators, I won't pursue it here.  I saw what I'm thinking about hosted on toonamiarsenal though, and not any sort of illegal sharing site, so maybe we're not thinking about the same thing, but I'll leave it at that.  I'll see if it's okay to check with you about the name, at least.

Anyway, Deep Space Bass is a great album.  It's funny... I never got into the shows on Toonami much (at least later Toonami), but man could they string some good music and promos together.

Again, appreciate the reply.  The hunt continues!

I'll send you a PM. Sorry mongo. Thanks for sending me my original message though. :)

No problem, just caring about the site. Wish you the best of luck with your quest, Jeff!
