Mark Mothersbaugh did not do the music to McDonald’s Treasureland Adventure. It was composed by Katsuhiko Suzuki and Aki Hata.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, the game was made by Treasure! It was their first big game(I think it was actually their first game period)and they used the finances and renown it generated to spin right into Gunstar Heroes.
No no, Trevor was talking about Mark Mothersbaugh doing the music to the cartoon/video series, which was pretty clear.
DeleteObviously, it's a Treasure game and the game music has been played on the podcast before, so there's no confusion about who the composers are. In fact, lately, Brent has been in contact with Katsuhiko Suzuki.
This is the show Trevor was referring to:
Deletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wacky_Adventures_of_Ronald_McDonald
Oh yeah, listening to it again, it’s totally obvious that Trevor is talking about the show. That’s what I get for listening while driving! It is strange that nobody mentioned it as a Treasure game though.
DeleteAnd not totally related, but I always thought it interesting that the company is named Treasure. The Japanese word for treasure is Takara, which of course made the toys that eventually became Transformers and GI Joe.
What an episode! It was a blast to hear the Wiseman himself talk about so many of these classics. When Brent asked about whether or not Wise composed particular tracks, it sounded like he wasn’t prepared to answer the questions. I am guessing that he didn’t actually compose Championship Pro-Am for the Genesis. It sounded like he started answering positively before Brent said “Genesis”. If he did compose for the Genesis, I’d have loved to hear what he had to say about it!
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it was a really cool interview. There were so many questions answered here, and the questions you guys asked really helped paint a vivid picture of what it was like for him to be composing back in the day.
What kind of jersey is that, Rob?
ReplyDeleteI was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if you guys would bring up how Time Lord has become something of a joke in the LMH-verse. It could definitely come off as disrespectful, though. I could hear you guys perk up whenever it was mentioned haha
ReplyDeleteGreat episode, I like these interview episodes. I saw someone wearing this shirt https://goo.gl/images/sqJsw2 and had no idea what it meant, but thought it was really funny. I wanted to ask them what it meant but thought it couldn't be "THE" Timelord. Anyway super interesting to hear the difference in approach between Tim Follin and David Wise. Thanks guys!
ReplyDelete"In a Snow-Bound Land" may have been a better track to use as evidence of direct new age influence on David Wise; Vangelis's theme from the 1983 film "Antarctica" sounds an awful lot like it!
ReplyDeleteI did an a cappella cover of another track from DKC2, "Disco Train," several years ago.
You're right! And that the Vangelis piece is for a cold/ice-related film. Good find.
DeleteUnrelated to this episode:
ReplyDeleteWhat constitutes the legal status for arcade games? Is there a cutoff year or something? I texted you guys some slammin' arcade songs the other day. Armed Police Batrider from 1998 and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs from 1993. The C&D song is SLAMMIN', my gosh!
Editor's Note:
Deletecan substitute one or both uses of slammin' with "Mm poppin' "
It's kind of tricky because in the early 90's, it depends more on the hardware of the machine. It seems as though Taito arcade games from 1992 and on are not legal. It seems like, most of the time, anything before 1993 is legal, but again, it depends on the game. 1998 would be definitely too late, except for a beyond episode, of course. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs is possibly legal.
DeleteCadillacs & Dinosaurs is probably legal since it's Capcom and came out in 1992.
DeleteFun fact: the comic/TV series only had 3 protagonists, so they just made one up for the game. He's a RIPPED man in a SMALL red t-shirt and a bowl cut. His name is "Mess O'Bradovich". I hope to name my son Mess, too!
