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

LMH Mixtape #238: The Villain Pac-Man

Lot's of good stuff in this mixtape, so let's jump right in. Game BGM 1 from Hat Trick Hero 2 for the Super Famicom is a straight-up jam with some terrific prominent bass guitar laying down some funky riffs. Against all odds, Rob still manages to keep finding Lightening Force tracks that have yet to be played on the show and Omake 2 is a great example of how that soundt

LMH Mixtape #237: Mighty Legacy Music Rangers

It's Morphin' Time for the Legacy Music Hour! We're starting this free play mixtape off strong with a track from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (the SNES game, not the actual movie). While this episode is in fact a free play, Rob's picks were mostly focused on golf games, starting with "BGM 1" from Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf. In fact, there is a lot of

LMH Mixtape #236: Beyond 16-Bit 7

Time to slap some beyond meat on the grill and cook up a sizzling mixtape. That's right, it's time for another Beyond 16-Bit episode where the boizz get to share tracks that wouldn't normally be LMH legal. Starting things off is a beautiful and haunting gothic piece from Alice: Madness Returns. Following that is "Robot Factory (Chapter 6)" from the incredibly bonk

Episode 279: Anything Goes

This is a very unusual episode. For this one time only, any electronic game music from any era and any device or platform is eligible to be shared. So you might hear some modern computer game music or some modern pinball machine music or a regular NES track or who knows? Take a listen and find out (or just look at the track listing).

LMH Mixtape #235: The Saga Of DJ Baby T-Rex

Radical! Bodacious! Excellent! Legendary! Those are just some ways of describing this mixtape. If you haven't figured it out already, this mixtape features the unused Baby T-Rex rap from the prototype game that would later go on to be reworked as Radical Rex, but before that there was the real cool, real cool Baby T-Rex. Of course there is more t
