LMH Mixtape #197: Friends

Although Rob was was unable to make it to this Free Play episode, Brent and the rest of the crew were joined by Brent's friends Andrew Michaan and Mike Fischer.  This mixtape has a nice variety of tracks including the pumped up "Volcano (Stage 2)" from the arcade version of Dragon Saber.  While listening, you can practically feel the heat as you soar over lava and volcanos.  You've also got the quirky playfulness of "Satellite" from Wagyan Paradise (a Japan exclusive Super Famicom Game).  Those, and much more in this mixtape.  So, sit back and enjoy some great VGM with your fellow LMH friends.

LMH Mixtape #195: Brent's Recent Games

In this episode, all of Brent's tracks were from games that he had recently played/discovered.  Those include Brain Lord with some cool, funky bass guitar and the psychedelic, funky, wild ride that is Kirby's Dream land 3.  Rob also brought some of the smoothest Dean Evans jams with an unreleased Green Lantern track (though it technically wasn’t LMH “legal”) and an unused track from The Flintstones, which led to the iconic LMH moment: "Yabba Dabba Dabba Dabba Dabba Dabba Dooooooooooo.”


MANATREE'S AWARDS & COMMENDATIONS
