LMH Mixtape #288: Castle Areas 2

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/03/25

Castles are a common setting in video games and this was the second time the Legacy Music Hour took on this topic, including all of the variety that comes with it. A certain style may come to mind when you think of "castle" music, and there is certainly some of that in this mixtape, but castle themes can range from grand and regal to creepy or gloomy and even directions you might not expect

LMH Mixtape #287: Buttz

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/03/18

Episode 287 was a free play featuring a great assortment of third and fourth generation video game music. "State of Mind" from Hany on the Road is a really fun PC Engine track that sounds very motivational. "Title" from Mega Anser is a short but mysterious and intriguing track that will leave you wanting to hear more. "Hustle Maruyama" from Dynamite Headdy has an absolutely

LMH Mixtape #286: Interesting Music

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/03/11

This episodes's topic was an interesting one. While open to interpretation, the general idea is simply tracks that are... well, interesting, whatever that means. Maybe it means music for a more open-minded ear or maybe it just means pieces that do something cool or unusual and that stand out in a weird way. "Paper Route" from Paperboy 2 lays down some distinctly Seinfeld-esque

Episode 294: Talking Hands

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/03/04

Lots of trailing pieces from last month (that is, familiar game titles) in this installment of the Legacy Music Hour, even though it is a free play. For starters, Rob, Brent, and Gabe debate whether or not a track is Asiatic sounding (again, that's not the topic this episode). They talk about meter and melody and the like. And anyway, they also talk about other stuff and play

LMH Mixtape #285: Sega Versus Nintendo

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/02/25

Much like a SNES logo in the Sega font, the tracks for this episode were 50% Sega, 50% Nintendo, and 100% bonk. Starting off with a killer track from Totally Rad, from the good folks at Jaleco (haa-lee-co)! "Industen" is a fully orchestrated and epic piece from Actraiser 2 by none other than the famous Yuzo Koshiro. "Mexico" from Saturday Night Slam Masters has a classic old

LMH Mixtape #284: Nice Distractions

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/02/18

Sometimes the best thing to help you get through the day is a nice distraction, and an LMH mixtape can be just the thing. Allow yourself to be distracted by the wonderful arpeggios and multiple layers of the truly grand track "Ending" from Magical Chase. "Name Entry" from Suzuka 8 Hours is a smooth track with a great melody, and "Red Owl" from Last Bible III is a totally bonk jam.&

LMH Mixtape #283: Happy Beginnings

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/02/11

Happy Beginnings means (among other things) that this mixtape begins with an absolute banger. Divine Bloodlines (Stage 1 BGM) from Dracula X on the SNES is a very faithful rendition of the original CD version, with sampled electric guitar and some killer bass guitar. Castle Theme from Valkyrie no Densetsu has a very regal sound, with some great sampled choir voices.This mixtape isn't

Episode 293: Asiatic Music 3

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/02/04

Not since 2013 has the Legacy Music Hour done a focus on music with an Asiatic influence, but as they've been doing more themed episodes lately, here it is once again. Some pretty standard picks here from games like Shinobi and Legend of the Mystical Ninja, but maybe a couple lesser known titles as well, all employing some kind of Far East element, even if sometimes subtly. Brent and

LMH Mixtape #282: Super Famicom

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/01/28

Japanese exclusive Super Famicom games was the focus here. Much of the best VGM from the third and fourth generation never made it out of Japan. Luckily for you though, the LMH boizz are here to share some of these incredibly smooth, jazzy, and just plain bonk tracks with you. Energetic and memorable tracks like "Ending" from Drift King Shutokou Battle '94: Tsuchiya Keiichi &

LMH Mixtape #281: AI

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/01/21

The subject of artificial intelligence was a loose theme in Episode 281. But don't worry, no A.I. was used to create this mixtape. Just some great taste and a lot of great music. Things start off with "Boat Fishing at Kenzaki" from Fishing Koushien. You can always count on fishing games to bring the jams. "Military" from Rise of the Robots features some distinctive

LMH Mixtape #280: Making Connections

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/01/14

The unofficial theme of this episode was "making connections." For one, Rob had a running theme through his choices. Did you catch the theme? There were also a lot of connections made between tracks and other media of which those tracks were reminiscent. For example, "Burning Fighter (Stage 3)" from Surprise Attack had parts that reminded the boizz of music from the movie

Episode 292: Orchestral Music

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2026/01/07

The focus here is orchestral music in games from the third and fourth generation. What does "orchestral" even mean? How many instruments are needed to form an orchestra? The boizz have some trouble answering these questions, so maybe you can figure it out for yourself while listening to their selections.

LMH Mixtape #279: Anything Goes

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2025/12/31

This was a unique episode that went beyond even the "beyond" episodes. While there were still some limits to this "anything goes" episode (the music had to be from a game), it allowed not just beyond third and fourth generation, but beyond consoles as well. Meaning computer games, video games, and even slot machines were all allowed in this one time special offer. And what

LMH Mixtape #277: Far Out

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2025/12/17

Get ready for some far out music, ya dig? It's a free play, so we've got a nice variety of music on which to groove. That includes classic NES games like Ninja Gaiden as well as lesser known Japanese exclusives like Sangokushi Seishi: Tenbu Spirits on the Super Famicom, and everything in between. There's no knowing where this trip will take you, or how it might expand your

LMH Mixtape #276: Repetition

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2025/12/10

This episode's theme is repetition.That means tracks that use repetition as an element of the music.For example, this helps add an element of suspense and fear for tracks such as "Stage One" from Alien 3 or "Delusion (Round 3-2)" from Zombie Nation. It can also be a steady driving force for tracks like "Character Presentation" from Mini-Yonku Let's & Go!! Power WGP 2 or "Placings" from

Episode 291: Beyond 16-Bit 11

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2025/12/03

It's time once again for the Legacy Music Hour to take a departure from the usual third and fourth generation video game music and look at more recent material. That is, recent as in music from games that came out for the Game Boy Color, all the way to games that come out in 2026 (well, just one game).

2025/11/26

For those users about to rock, we salute you! This was the third time the boizz focused on rock music. That means tracks that feature elements like punchy drums, electric guitars, and driving bass lines. "Final Boss" from Jackal features those nice punchy NES drums, for example. "Hercules" from Mahjong Taikai II has classic "crunchy" electric guitars. And you get the

LMH Mixtape #274: The Big Wave

2025/11/19

The boizz returned from the beyond, with a new classic free play of third and fourth generation tracks. Diving right in, we're starting out with a golf game, so you already know you're in for some good music. "Hole Overview" from New 3D Golf Simulation: Waialae no Kiseki is a really uplifting and energetic track, making it different from the usual smooth jazz sound you probably expect

LMH Mixtape #273: Beyond 16-Bit 10

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2025/11/12

The boizz went beyond once again, for the tenth Beyond 16-Bit episode. Of course there are still tracks that sound like they could have come from the third and fourth generation. Jake Kaufman's distinct retro style shines in "Credits" from Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land. Enrique Martin (Pentadrangle) also kills it with a modern take on the classic approach in "
