Career with Sega
In 1993, Young began contributing audio and music to Sega video games. He was present for the formation of Sega Music Group and Sega Music Group Studios in San Francisco. Young was a frequent collaborator with composer/producer Spencer Nilsen, who was director of Sega Music Group at the time. He was involved in over a dozen different Sega titles from 1993–1996, composing, producing and engineering soundtracks for titles such as The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, Sonic CD, Ecco: The Tides of Time, Congo The Movie: The Lost City of Zinj, NBA Live, NHL Live, and Wild Woody, as well as many others. The soundtracks for Sonic CD (Sonic the Hedgehog Boom) and Ecco: Tides of Time (Ecco: Songs of Time) 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.
