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 soundtrack is full of bangers.  Ending from Pac-Attack is a jaunty little track, especially for a game about a VILLAIN (listen to the full episode for context).  Speaking of soundtracks that are packed with top-tier tunes, Paradigm (Stage 4) is everything you expect a track to be from none other than Gimmick!  All that and so much more in this mixtape, so let the waves of VGM happiness wash over you.

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 Soldam good music in this mixtape.  Such as "Searching for a Doubtful Truth (Soldam Mode 2)" from the arcade game Soldam or "Seatown" from Kira Kira Star Night DX.  Hop in your favorite Zord of choice and crank these tunes up while you save the world from overgrown monsters.

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 soundtrack from Cyber Shadow.  "Autumn's Rise" from CrossCode is a very relaxing smooth jazz jam.  "Minnie's Theme/Versus Minnie" from Magical Tetris Challenge is also jazzy, but with a little more pep in its step.  And of course, an infectious track that almost needs no introduction, "Let’s Go Away" from (say it with me)...Daytonaaaaaaaaaaaaaa USA.
