The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2024/09/11

The title of the episode may be "Noise," but this free play is filled with anything but.We've got a lot of tracks from games that are new to the show, as well as some classic returning titles. For example, somehow, Rob still manages to find another Lightening Force track that hadn't been played yet, and it packs all the punch you've come to expect from that soundtrack.We've also got

Episode 276: Repetition

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2024/09/04

The theme of this episode is repetition. While video game music from the third and fourth generation, generally speaking, is repetitious by nature (or format or whatever), in Episode 276, Brent, Rob, and Gabe share specific pieces that employ a deliberate use of repetition as a motivated compositional device. Does that make sense? Full track listing below.Download and listen

2024/08/28

It is time, once again, to break free of the third and fourth generation bonds, and venture forth into the land Beyond. That's right, it's time for another Beyond 16-Bit episode. Number six to be precise, and there's a lot of great music here to be enjoyed. For example, golf games have always been a reliable source of great tracks, and that holds true in the "beyond" as well.&

"Title Theme" from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 is a

It's a classic free play episode, which means a nice variety of classic third and fourth gen tracks.
