Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast

The third installment of Singing Mountain's look at how VGM interacts with mainstream music focuses on the Elec Man theme from the first Mega Man game. It sounds a lot like a track by Journey, but also like likes from REM, Cheap Trick, Bon Jovi, Human League and more. What's going on here? I talk to some songwriters about why this one melody might seem to be a 1980s mainstay.

Can you guess how a piece of VGM was supposed to be used in a game you've never played? This week, I'm giving you an experiment, and you will decide if it becomes a regular feature on Singing Mountain. I play a little un-winnable, un-loseable game show with my roommate, Glen, in which I play music from video games he doesn't know and he uses his base knowledge of VGM to guess what kind of scene, setting or genre the composition was supposed to evoke. Play along! And tell me if you're into this.

The 16-bit era of Squaresoft RPGs helped teach a generation of gamers what this style of game could be. But as celebrated as titles like Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger were, their fans outside Japan missed out on a slew of others. This episode is a musical sampler of the titles that came out for the Super Famicom but not the Super NES: Romancing SaGa, Bahamut Lagoon, Front Mission, Treasure of the Rudras, Treasure Hunter G, Alcahest and Live a Live.

The second installment of the VGM+pop music series looks at Eternal Champions, a 1993 entry in the canon of fighting games that was created by an all-American team of Sega employees. Eternal Champions has its own merits, but this episode is concerned solely with two tracks from this game — both composed by Andy Armer and both of which seem to have been sampled in the 1995 Bone Thugs-N-Harmony album E. Eternal 1999. Neither Armer's work nor Sega's ownership of the source tracks seems to be documented anywhere official, and I do my best to try and find out why.

The previous episode looked at David Wise's music before Donkey Kong Country, but purposefully spared on the Wizards & Warriors just because this long-neglected Rare franchise had too much good music to ignore. So please enjoy thirtysomething minutes of the best of the soundtracks from Wizards & Warriors and its three sequels. David Wise rules!

In 1994, David Wise became a video game hero as a result of his soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country, but he'd actually been composing music for video games for nearly a decade. This episode looks at his NES work leading up to DKC and pointing out where and when his genius for mood-setting, ambiance-encompassing first blossomed. By virtue of showcasing the best of early David Wise, this episode features some of the best music composed for the NES.

The first Singing Mountain of 2019 is also the first in a new series looking at the interactions between mainstream pop music and video game music. Though this episode focuses on Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, consider it an overview of the many ways VGM and pop can play off each other. I'm also stoked to say that in addition to the Jacksons, I got to mention Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Carly Simon, Biz Markie, Phil Collins, Sia and The Beatles, and I never thought I'd get to do all that in one episode of this show. It's super weird, and I couldn't be happier to be deep-diving into all manner of pop culture obscurities.

Hey, remember winter? The season we're in right now? In response to audience requests, I decided to get in one more episode about non-jolly winter music. And unlike Episode 33, I talk less on this one so you can enjoy an hour of what it would sound like to hang out in a palace made of ice.

Seasons come and go in the world of the Harvest Moon games. This episode is all about the music you hear when snow covers the landscape. It's all peaceful, but with a twinge of sadness, because it's the coldest time of year and presumably the worst time for a harvest. The game, however, must go on.
