LMH Mixtape #296: Demented Love Story

The unofficial theme of this free play episode was "Demented Love Story," but there's nothing demented about loving these tracks.  "Original Sin (Dracula's Castle 1)" from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a classic Castlevania banger.  "Casino" from Return of Double Dragon has some really catchy bass guitar.  "Brinstar (Heavy Foliage Area)" from Super Metroid is a haunting and beautiful piece by Kenji Yamamoto, which also features some amazing bass as well as some almost ghostly choir voices.  There's so many great tracks in this mixtape, so let the twisted love story begin!
