Now that my DSL's back, I've been able to investigate the Extreme Music site linked above and determine that this is, in fact, one of theirs. Which is good, because although such things are difficult to cite, it does at least mean that it'll stop bothering me that I don't know where it's from. :)

No joy on this one yet, but it's probably in there somewhere. I notice, amusingly, that Mr. Badelt himself is, in fact, one of Extreme Music's composers.
