The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast

It’s that time of the year again.  Brent and Rob share their top ten tracks of the year (Episodes 193 through 204).  To refresh you with the rules, tracks chosen must be pieces of video game music they became aware of only within the last year and that were played on the show.  See if you can guess which tracks were chosen!  Partial track listing below.

Paralleling last month’s episode, The Legacy Music Hour finally does a focus on the music of David Wise (known for popular franchises such as Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, RC Pro Am, and Wizards & Warriors), and more importantly, finally does an interview with David Wise himself.  The interview was originally set to happen back in 2012, but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen

We learned a lot of things in The Legacy Music Hour's food-themed episode.  We learned that Brent loves peanut butter and candy, Rob prefers dinner and/or cake, and that Penta the Yume Penguin Monogatari penguin really needs to find a partner who appreciates him just the way he is.  These mixtapes are an absolutely judgment-free zone, so don't you start worrying about your figures too,

Japanese and Chinese locales pop up a lot in video games, and as you might have noticed, they often have amazing background music.  For Episode 74, Brent and Rob searched far and wide for some of the best Asiatic tracks around, and they came back with souvenirs from all the major console cultures of the 8-bit and 16-bit era -even the arcade scene!  So come and sample this amazing buffet

The Legacy Music Hour finally does a focus on the music of Tim Follin, and more importantly, finally does an interview with Tim Follin himself.  The interview was originally set to happen back in 2011, but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen until now.  Lots of interesting stuff here as well as some clarification regarding composer credits.  Thank you to Tim Follin for

All right, look.  KeyGlyph here.  I've been trying to compose a measured introduction to this mixtape for the usual Legacy Music Hour blog post, and I'm officially giving up.  Jazz Music 2 is just too darn good.  It's dreamy, it's busy, it's romantic, it's introspective; it'll conjure up images of bustling cities one moment and lonely hotel lounges the next.  I can't

Yet another TurboGrafx-16 focus, although it’s mostly all PC Engine tracks this time.  In this episode, the boizz get cross-wibed, the boizz talk cereal, and Brent shares some special food recipes of his own creation.  NOTE: Rob played the wrong track for Mahjong Gakuen, which was just a variation loop of the beginning of his intended track.  He had become so sleepy by that point

Get ready for some serious bass lines, horn stabs, and syncopated beats, because it's time to revisit the LMH funk focus.  This mixtape has enough food, folks, and funk for every user, so whether you're a purple belt or just a white belt with a little yellow on the tip, you'll be lovin' it.

The boizz do another focus on TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine music (and SuperGrafx too).  Rob plays tracks he’s been sitting on for a bit, while Brent plays all Darren Deluxe picks, so thank you to Darren Deluxe for the compilation he sent over.  Rob also has pretty bad allergies, so watch out for that.  The boizz really have a lot of fun with Tiger Road, so watch out for that too.&
