Episode 282: Super Famicom

Even though this might seem like an Oscar-themed episode, which it is, the main focus is Super Famicom. That's right. All the tracks on this episode are from Japanese exclusive Super Famicom games. And user Jared serves up another VGM Karaoke. Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American re

LMH Mixtape #245: Cleanly Shaved

We've got a new mixtape of tracks as fresh as a cleanly shaved face. Rob brought a few tracks from the Madden series, including "Title Theme" from John Madden Football '92, which has some very cool crunchy bass that the Genesis excels at. That is followed by a very catchy and melodic track ("Stage Theme 6") from Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu for the NES. Your clean

LMH Mixtape #244: Fingers Crossed

Were you crossing your fingers in hopes of a new mixtape dropping? Well, you're in luck, because we've got a good one for you. Things start off on a bit of a creepy tone with a very 70's electronic track, "Ending Theme" from Skeleton Krew. After that, Tomoya Tomita hits us with that classic Konami style in "BGM 3" from F-1 Sensation. Gabe shared a very cool,

LMH Mixtape #243: Donny Divanian

Rob was unable to make it for Episode 243, but he was there in spirit, along with special guest Donny Divanian. As always, there's a lot of great music to cover in this mixtape. Main Menu from Multi Play Volleyball would fit well on an Elevator Music episode, with parts sounding reminiscent of Pilotwings. Main Theme from Kiki Kaikai is a PC Engine track with a str

Episode 281: AI

Brent and Rob go one-on-one for Episode 281 with the theme being "AI" or artificial intelligence. Kind of an action-packed episode with talking about fires, a dramatic monologue piece by user Tenek, and a VGM karaoke by user Jared.

LMH Mixtape #242: Wet Spot

There's a lot of great tracks in this free play mixtape, so let's jump right in. The boizz kicked things off with a Mega Drive Meganet track from Teddy Boy Blues. While actually a 90's release, it really embodies the fun sound of 80's pop. After that you can put your mind to work on a little game of Backgammon for the Famicom Disc System. Now that your mind

LMH Mixtape #241: Best Of Year In Review 10

Episode 241 was the tenth Best Of Year In Review episode, so by this point you probably already know how this works. Brent and Rob alternate, counting down their top ten favorite tracks that they discovered within the previous year (3rd and 4th generation only). Gabe also counts down his top five tracks. Did anybody have overlapping picks? If so, the track w

LMH Mixtape #240: Competition

Episode 240 was another traditional free play with a nice variety of systems and styles. We start off with some classic Famicom and NES tracks from Nekketsu! Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes and Flying Warriors. Following that is the unmistakably unique and creative work of famed composer Yuzo Koshiro from none other than Streets of Rage 2. "Look Out (Normal BGM

LMH Mixtape #239: The Olympics

The Olympics was the theme of Episode 239, so you'll find quite a few sports tracks in this mixtape, and we all know sports games have some really top tier music. "Arm Wrestling" from Track & Field II has that iconic Konami sound to get you pumped up. It's not just fully pumped sports tracks though... "What is your birthday?" from Tarot Mystery is a really great new

Episode 280: Making Connections

Like some previous episodes, Rob brings a secret theme along with his selections, and Brent and Gabe try to figure it out. Maybe you can figure it out before they do? Or maybe you can just dig the good music. That's not even a maybe. You will definitely dig it. Happy new year. Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song
