We're back with another theme episode! It's Stage 1 music from Shmups, STGs, Bullet hell, whatever you want to call it.

I got the idea for the playlist when doing the Hitoshi Sakimoto episode because I have a ton of these games that I wanted to talk about and while some of them will definitely get full episodes in future, and there's plenty of games not on this list I can talk about, it seemed ilke a fun excuse to nerd out about some classics as well as a few deeper cuts.

Justus was kind enough to join us and provide some expertise on the genre, as well some really interesting chats about FM Synthesis.
