NO ENCORE is here, fresh off the back of a 'chapeau' from the Irish Times, extra controller in-hand, ready to enter split-screen mode, as Dave Hanratty is joined by his faithful Sonic Architect Adam who will solo speed-run some of the best licensed soundtracks the gaming sphere has to offer. (And by speed-run, we mean carefully dissect and discuss, of course).

All of that, as well as the latest news in the world of music on this week's ep, so press the start button and let's load up.

Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
