WebTV licensed a bunch of music from me (XM/MOD) but then got acquired by Microsoft before they got around to paying me, and Microsoft didn't pay me either.

Somebody managed to extract them years later from an MSNTV and luckily I was able to recover a couple of songs I had lost.

Speaking of WebTV music, I was a huge fan of the original Philips WebTV dialing music. Sometimes I would just let it loop in the background when I was doing housework. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brZYWcGgg4Y Perhaps unsurprisingly, a couple of years later I started listening to a lot of music in the Demoscene.

Did you have anything to do with the track "as-dream"? That's my absolute favorite, it's a 20-something minute long ambient track.
