Dick DeBenedictis (the composer of these tracks)

Production music is used in many types of media from television to video games and many of these familiar production cues were composed by Dick De Benedictis (who is best known for composing music for Perry Mason and of course for his production music that is commonly used in many forms of media especially in the 90s and 2000s). These tracks are most commonly used in television shows starting at least in the early 90s, with many of these originating from Benedictis' score for Columbo.

Some of the most famous tracks are "Predators (a)", "Predators (e)" (both of which are modeled after an excerpt from the theme of the 1987 science fiction movie "Predator"), "Evil Mind (3)", "Train Ride (a)" and "Psycho Chase (b)".

The entire collection sound effects were originally recorded in circa 1995, and then released as part of the Symphonic Adventures Production Elements Toolkit in 1997 and was released on CD by Adventure Production Elements and Sound Ideas. Many of these tracks were later reissued on Sonoton Music's album "Dramatic Workshop 26 - Moodsetters, Links & Stings".
