Junior Blanks: All About Beats, preserved in the game credits
Junior Blanks has a particularly useful piece of contemporary documentation: the music credits for FIFA 2000. They identify All About Beats in its DJ Scissorkicks Remix, clarifying the All About Beast spelling retained in this archive.
The names on the recording
The game's original credits, reproduced in MobyGames' credits archive, name Junior Blanks as performer and Anthony Chapman, James Burke and Jonathan Dawe as writers and producers. They also record a 1998 Chrysalis publishing copyright and the courtesy credit to City of Angels. These are recording credits, so they should not be expanded into an unsupported account of a band's membership or personal lives. They do establish a much firmer reference than a later upload with an abbreviated title.
A soundtrack route into the archive
FIFA 2000 was released in 1999: the year in the game's title and the earlier music copyright describe different things. Keeping those details separate helps explain how an existing recording reached a game soundtrack and then a listening archive. The remix name is equally useful when comparing copies, since a different mix can have a different running time and arrangement. Here the documented reference is the DJ Scissorkicks Remix; the surviving short YGEN title alone cannot certify that every copy is the same master.

All About Beats (DJ Scissorkicks Remix)
The FIFA 2000 credits document the title, writers, producers and a 1998 publishing copyright; that copyright is not a claim about the game's release date.
