Dave Young is a keyboardist, composer, recording artist. He is most well known for producing the soundtracks to the Sega CD video games Sonic CD [1], Ecco: The Tides of Time [2], and The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin [3].
SEGA Years
In 1993, Young began contributing audio and music to SEGA video games [4] [5]. He was present for the formation of Sega Music Group and Sega Music Group Studios in San Francisco, California [6]. Young was a frequent collaborator with composer/producer Spencer Nilsen, who was president of Sega Music Group at the time [7]. He was involved in over a dozen different Sega titles from 1993-1996, composing producing and engineering soundtracks for titles such as Spiderman [8], Sonic CD [9], Ecco: The Tides of Time [10] [11], Congo: Lost City of Zinj [12], The Adventures of Batman and Robin [13], NBA Live, NHL Live, and Wild Woody [14], as well as many others. The soundtracks for Sonic CD (Sonic the Hedgehog Boom [15] [16]) and Ecco: Tides of Time (Ecco: Songs of Time [17]) were released on audio CD in limited numbers and a distribution deal with PolyGram records had been reached for selling the albums on a global level, but the deal ultimately fell through [18] [19].
