The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast

OK, LMH user, your showcase is a fully loaded mixtape featuring all your favorites hits.  First, we'll be sending you on an all expenses paid vacation to the insect world of Insector X with "Grooving Diver (Round 3: City Area)".  After that, you can relax to the calming tones of "Let’s Play!" from Gamble Hourouki.  Of course, no showcase would be complete without some treasure and

The puzzles are solved, the villain is slain, and the credits are about to roll.  You know what that means...it's time for some ending music!  Sometimes triumphant, sometimes melancholic, but always a treat.  A good ending track can take you on a journey remembering everything you experienced throughout the game.  And though the game may be over, the totally bonk jams are just

On the rare occasion the Legacy Music Hour goes beyond the fourth generation for an episode.  But on this rarest of occasions, they did back-to-back Beyond 16-Bit episodes.  Somehow, even in an episode with relaxed rules for what tracks are legal to play, an illegal track slipped though, as "Jewelry (Prize Cue 1989)" from Wheel of Fortune on Sega CD was a previously existing track, not

For Episode 285, Rob purposely picked all Sega console tracks, but by coincidence and by accident, Brent picked all Nintendo console tracks, so it ended up being an accidental Sega versus Nintendo showcase.  Other than, Brent and Rob look at some suggestive artwork and then try to recreate it for the episode photo.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song

While some of the tracks in this mixtape may *sound* like they're from the third or fourth generation, this is in fact a Beyond 16-Bit episode (the eighth one to be precise).  These episodes are a way for the boizz to share modern VGM finds that wouldn't normally be LMH legal.  As you'll see from tracks like "Saved the Moon (Alt. Ending/Credits)" from Elechead or "Marsh" from Lizard,

Another LMH year comes to a close, and it's time again for the Best Of Year In Review.  Brent and Rob count down their top six tracks of the year and Gabe counts down his top three.  Will there be any overlaps this time?  Either way, you know these are all going to be "Tenners"... or would it be "Sixers" this time?Download and listen NOWMANATREE'S AWARDS & COMMENDATIONSNo

Blues Progressions was the theme of Episode 253.  A classic chord progression used in blues music as well as many other genres such as pop, rock and jazz.  While the chord progression is used in blues music, that doesn't mean it necessarily sounds "bluesy."  For example, "Wily Tower: Wily Tower 3" from RockMan: Mega World features the progression, but stylistically is more pop-rock

The music on this installment of the Legacy Music Hour might be too good to listen to while doing other things like entering your initials, but you’ll be alright.  In Episode 284, Brent clears up some mistakes made on last month’s episode, Jim Varney impressions are made, and a new design for the SNES logo is conceived, which you can see below after the track listing and in the episode

Dear......my brother.  I hope this letter finds you well.  Please find enclosed a brand new mixtape!  I hope you enjoy these totally bonk tracks.  They include "Mechanical Castle (Inside the Castle)" from Ganbare Goemon 2, which is a very fun and energetic jam.  Also included is a pumped up motivating track, "Progression (Stage 3)" from Final Soldier for the PC Engine.&

A lot of great tracks on Episode 251.  Starting things off is "Unused 1" from Choujikuu Yousai Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, which features some really cool orchestra hits and a very catchy beat.  "5 Minute Score Attack" from Coryoon: Child of Dragon has that motivating "get up and save the universe" sound that is common in shoot-them-ups, and also features some great rock style drums.&
