013 - Final Fantasy VIII

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

Going back to the Final Fantasy well for this episode. I had gotten into listening to this soundtrack at work and sort of pushed everything aside to do an episode on the soundtrack because it's long been one of my favourites in the series. 00:00:00 Shuffle or Boogie00:02:05 Talk 100:13:16 Blue Fields00:14:46 Find Your Way00:18:33 Balamb GARDEN00:22:01 Fisherman's Horizon00:25:36 Talk 200:32:52 Martial Law00:36:39 Junction00:38:15 The Salt Flats00:41:50 Talk 300:48:16 The Landing00:52:51 Only a Plank

My good friend Dave joins us for a fun conversation on Commodore 64 music. I personally am less familiar with the music of this system so it was nice of Dave to provide a playlist and guide us.00:00:00 Jonathan Dunn - Ocean Loader 500:03:00 Talk 100:17:18 Tamayo Kawamoto - BGM 100:18:26 Rob Hubbard - Commando00:22:29 Rob Hubbard - Monty On The Run00:28:29 Rob Hubbard - One Man And His Droid00:34:23 Talk 200:47:12 Martin Galway - Ocean Loader 200:50:12 Martin Galway - Slap Fight 100:50:19 Martin

011 - Metal Gear Rising w/Kay

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

This week we're joined by famed Youtubist Kay of Kay and Skittles. When we started this pod they immediately got in contact and insisted we have them on for a Metal Gear Rising Revengeance episode. A game we all love that's seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years — not so much for its soundtrack — but as we discuss, the songs mirror the story and themes of the game quite strongly. The EDM inflected Nu Metal gives it a very specific vibe and we love it here on the pod. 00:00:00 Jamie

010 - Silent Hill 2

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

Having a spooky February with this Silent Hill 2 episode. We had to bring in a pinch hitter for this one so my immediate thought went to Silent Hill 2, one of my favourite games and favourite soundtracks. Akira Yamaoka's moody, atmospheric tunes are dripping with menace but are still incredibly listenable and tuneful. 00:00:00 Akira Yamaoka - Promise (Reprise)00:01:45 Talk 100:11:57 Akira Yamaoka - White Noiz00:13:21 Akira Yamaoka - Forest00:15:04 Akira Yamaoka - Prisonic Fairytale00:16:59 Akira

009 - Tetris

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

Shifting gear again for another bit of a grab bag episode. There are so many different versions of Tetris and many of them have really great soundtracks either to keep you chill or ramp up the tension while you play so I just wanted to highlight some of my own favourites. As I mentioned, no Tetris Effect here since I'm saving that for something more focused but otherwise please enjoy! Also, to my great shame I called the first game Tetris 3DO a few times but it's actually the CD-i, I'm sorry to all

Mini 001 - DubWars

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

Note - I'm renaming this as a Mini as I think I want to try doing some occasional shorter episodes for games that don't have very long soundtracks. Will see how it pans out but for now let's consider this one to be Mini Episode 1 A little break from the format here to talk about DubWars, a neat - if a bit broken, I couldn't get it to run on my computer - rhythm/shooter hybrid. The music is all very early 2010s Electro-house/dubstep so if you're not a fan of synths that sound like chainsaws this

Let's get jacked on Karmotrine and stumble into the cool night air of a dystopian city while listening to some dope tunes with the Va11 Hall-a, a Cyberpunk bartending visual novel.00:00:00 Every Day Is Night00:03:42 Talk 100:12:12 Welcome To Va-11 Hall-A00:15:14 Safe Haven00:17:50 Karmotrine Dream00:20:10 A Gaze That Invited Disaster00:23:47 A Neon Glow Lights The Way00:26:16 Talk 200:34:38 Commencing Simulation00:36:29 Neon District00:40:39 Another Satisfied Customer00:41:22 Umemoto00:45:00Those

006 - Scott Pilgrim The Comic The Movie The Game The...

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/27

It's time to go goblin mode! They said it could never be done but we're doing the entire soundtrack from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World The Game. I couldn't bring myself to cut any tracks so we just said 'fuck it' and did them all (as it turns out there is now a bunch more music available for this game that was literally finally released the day we recorded.) Anyway, this soundtrack rules so let's get stuck in. 00:00:00 Scott Pilgrim Anthem00:01:38 Talk 100:13:14 Another Winter00:15:47 Just Like In

2025/02/27

This week we get Digitally Devilish, Seymour. Cracking open the box marked "Shoji Meguro" means everyone is gonna hoot and holler because it's not the Persona 5 soundtrack — but hear me out — these soundtracks bang and deserve your time.

2025/02/27

This week we take flight, or at least, we manage those who do? KOEI's Air Management games may not be the best known of KOEI's stable of games but they might have the best music, and that's what we care about on this pod. 00:00 Main Menu (PSX)07:46 Main Menu (PC-98)10:24 Main Menu (X68000)13:01 Europe (X68000)15:15 Europe (PSX)17:11 Japan (PC-98)18:59 Japan (PSX)28:11 Latin America (Genesis)31:37 Latin America (PSX)32:38 North America (PC-98)34:11 North America (PSX)36:08 Pacific (SNES)37:54
