LMH Mixtape #225: Noise Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

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 Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

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

LMH Mixtape #224: Beyond 16-Bit 6 Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

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.&

LMH Mixtape #223: Quarantined Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

This marked the first episode to go completely remote as a safety precaution during the early COVID-19 lockdown. Not even a pandemic could stop the boizz though, because there is still plenty of great VGM to share. Speaking of which, this free play mixtape doesn't miss a beat. To start off, "Staff Roll" from Umi Tsuri Meijin: Suzuki Hen is a chill and relaxing track that

LMH Mixtape #222: You're Fired Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

This mixtape features all of the variety you've come to expect from a free play episode. There's even a (legal at the time) modern NES track from the 2018 game Nebs 'n Debs which gets really funky and creative. "Stage 1-2" from Alisia Dragoon makes great use of stereo sound with different elements bouncing back and forth between the left and right channels. "Fired in the General

LMH Mixtape #221: Conspiracy Connections Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

There's no conspiracy here. The connection between Free Plays and killer mixtapes is undeniable. You'll get a nice variety of systems and genres, such as "Dynamite Guy" from Line of Fire on the Sega Master System, alongside "Crossroad (Stage 1)" from Willow for the arcade. This episode featured one particularly intriguing track though: "Don't Stop the Jam! (Credits)" from Rejoice

LMH Mixtape #220: Movements Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

"Movements" became the theme of Episode 220 and there are a lot of different types of movements showcased here. Sometimes a track has that "get up and get moving" energy like "Rainy City Night (Street Race 11)" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken, which is great for a race or just cruising down the road. "Title Theme" from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 is a

LMH Mixtape #219: Two Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

It's a classic free play episode, which means a nice variety of classic third and fourth gen tracks. There are even a couple "modern" tracks in this playlist from Battle Kid and Micro Mages -modern releases that run on original NES hardware, so they were technically LMH legal at the time, but then later determined not legal at one point in the future. Lullaby from Pac-Man 2 is a track

LMH Mixtape #218: Puzzle Games 3 Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

Episode 218 was the third focus on Puzzle Games, and features some real bangers. "Warrior's Relaxation" from Shi Kin Jou is a totally 80's track reminiscent of groups like Erasure. "Sticker" from Puyo Puyo is a super fun piece that you can't help but sing along to VGM Karaoke style. In fact, in the full episode, Keyglyph, who is no stranger to VGM Karaoke, joined the boizz live
