The Cyber Shinobi piece was definitely the stand out track for me this episode. Shout out to Darren Deluxe for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteCreed II might be Oscar-nominated for 'Best Turns', but this episode definitely won that award with all the revelations: be it Brent's flatscreen TV announcement, the Seinfeld SimCity trivia, or that uncanny Hani in the Sky track - Woah/War Oh! I really hope that exhuming this Haniwa from the ground hasn't brought about bad luck to the chillin' LMH boizz - whilst I'm all for Animal Crossing, a certain unnamed blue hedgehog is one animal I wouldn't want to cross paths with (least of all from his legal team). Maybe it's better to bury that track back where you found it, before anymore trouble from those gloomy gods grows larger? Although judging by Brent's uncensored "schnipp" at 56:56, it seems like the curses are flying already...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, another quite satisfactory (hiccup!) episode! Loved the drums on that Terra Cresta II track. Super cool to hear about Rob treating Mom F Switch to a trip to the land of SECAM. And exciting to hear about the new mixtape schedule - does anyone want to attempt to work out when the number of episodes and mixtapes will eventually meet up at 200%? I tried to do the maths but, y'know, homework. Either way, I'll keep being a dedicated user until that fateful day arrives!
TOU-John
Good re-cap! Almost seemed like an episode description they would use. But Brent said the word "shoot" -he would never say the actually sh-word or allow it on the show.
DeleteThe Cyber Shinobi's Outside The Base sounds vaguely like Caveman Games' Title Screen on NES to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It has the same slide but on beat 1 instead of beat 4.
"Hotel Dada" reminds me a bit of Mega Man X2's ending theme (particularly the beginning guitar melody), especially in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteOkay, it’s a CRAZY coincidence, but I still think the shared Sonic/Hani music phrasing is a coincidence. The reason is that Nakamura wrote the Sonic music, but he didn’t arrange it. He wasn’t that familiar with games at the time, having said that when he was asked to compose Sonic’s music, he was imagining the music would be like Space Invaders. Additionally, he composed the music using synthesizers, and the resulting audio cassette was used by Sega to be arranged onto the Genesis. Lastly, Nakamura was in the middle of writing and recording an album for his band. While it’s possible that Nakamura or the arranger had heard and copied the music from Hani in the Sky, it’s pretty unlikely.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should submit your podcast to google music so I can listen to it on there! Great cast I love the music and the commentary!
ReplyDelete"Hot Matt Furniss"
ReplyDeleteI had to think for a while, but I came up with what the "lime koshers/crocious" from the Mary Poppins scene could be: lime cordial. A quick Google says that's correct. Dee-licious!
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie clip myself shortly after Brent mentioned it and understood what the kid said straight away being from the land of PAL myself, but I can appreciate how that kid's accent might be fairly impenetrable for non-Limeys (ha). Cordial thanks for sharing your Mmm Poppin' detective work!
DeleteHaniwa have also made appearances in various Final Fantasy and Kirby games. In U.S. versions of Final Fantasy I believe they are called "Cactuar."
