Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast

Welcome to this year's installment of my "Christmas Eve in an ice cavern" series. Do you think winter music could do with fewer jingle bells and more cool, clear chimes that call to mind a lonely, cold night? Then you're in luck! Also listen to the other ice and snow VGM episodes!

Against all odds, this podcast persisted and endured, and now we're at the one-hundredth episode. The best idea I had to celebrate this milestone was sharing all the lesser-known VGM tracks I came to love since I began Singing Mountain — the VGM gems that I would have never unearthed if I hadn't been doing research for this show.

Lifelong gamers might like to reminisce about video game consoles past, but just by the numbers, system that got the most play back in the '90s was the Game Boy. It outsold every console in its day, which means that a lot of players would have played famous video game franchises on the Game Boy before they played it on a standard system. This episode is all about those versions of famous series, and how the composers tasked with translating iconic VGM themes often worked wonders with the Game Boy's more limited sound technology.

If I made the things you know to suddenly seem different, would that be good? Think about that while you listen to this episode of celebrated 16 bit-era VGM made to sound weird, dark and maybe a little drunk. I promise this will not become a habit.

Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is the game that ultimately ended up leading to Bravely Default in 2012. And while Bravely Default improved upon the core mechanics in almost every way, there's a certain charm to 4 Heroes of Light — and that includes a soundtrack by Naoshi Mizuta. The music mixes the best of what the Nintendo DS could do at the time along with a nifty, chipune-y throwback style. And that makes all the sense in the world, because this game is in many ways a throwback to the early days of the Square RPG. Track listing: 0:16: The Four Heroes of Light / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 2:29: Royal Palace Melody / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 5:02: Magic Kingdom Gula / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 8:07: The Legendary Whale / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 10:33: Horne, the Home of the Wind / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 12:10 Horne, the Home of the Wind (Night) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 14:25: Walking the Ground / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 17:04: Walking the Ground / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 19:25: Battle WIth Demons / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 21:48: The Witch's Mansion / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 25:00: Trading City Vulpes (Urbeth) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 26:26: Trading City Vulpes (Night) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 28:32: Closed-Off Invidia / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 33:47: Riding the Dragon / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 37:32: Elva, the Forbidden Land (Arbol) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 41:05: Heavenly Supervia (Spelvia) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 43:15: Heavenly Supervia (Night)) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 46:15: The Demon King's Servants / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 48:35: The Demon King's Heartbeat / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 51:41: The Final Battle / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 53:43: Liberte, the Capital of Art (Night) / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta 56:27: The End of the Journey / Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light / Naoshi Mizuta Drew on Twitter: https://twitter.com/drewgmackie Singing Mountain on Twitter: https://twitter.com/singmopod On Facebook: https://facebook.com/singingmountainpod/ On iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/singing-mountain/id1252832457 On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2ISyNLUc1ALxzvjBqw4ru3 On Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifofiaeephbs27wb6cqr24dlgl4 On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singingmountainpod/ On SoundCloud: @singingmountain On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9f9iAcO1ZMTYVH91c2Jsyw Official website: https://singingmountainpod.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tablecakes TableCakes Productions: https://www.tablecakes.com Subscribe to the newsletter: https://tablecakesproductions.substack.com/subscribe

What does a sunset sound like? This episode may well fail to answer that question, but what you might get anyway is the third installment in the (so far) trilogy of Singing Mountain episodes about driving music but drawn entirely from non-racing, non-driving games. This one follows the narrative from bustling freeways to that perfect moment of sunset to early evening in the city.
