LMH Mixtape #292: Orchestral Music

Surprisingly, until this point, The Legacy Music Hour had never done an episode focused on orchestral music.  They'd done some RPG episodes, and that could almost count, but not really.  Whether quiet and peaceful or loud and bombastic, orchestral music can really help set the tone for an emotional scene or an all out brawl.  We've got woodwind, string, brass and percussion instruments all ready on which to put your own "drums."  So with this overture out of the way, let's make way for the main movement and absorb some orchestral music!

LMH Mixtape #291: Beyond 16-Bit 11

It's time again for another Beyond 16-Bit episode, where the boizz get to play some video game music that normally wouldn't be LMH legal.  This covers a wide range of generations, including a track from a game (Mina the Hollower) that at the time of this mixtape's release has yet to even be released!  Two tracks were played from the arcade game Bunny Bomber Blast! which are sure to get you fired up.  And Mall Meltdown (Episode 6) from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a totally slappin' tune with parts that sound similar to Madonna's "Into the Groove."  So let's all get into the groove with these tracks and everything else on this mixtape!

LMH Mixtape #290: Peace

The last metroid is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace.  And that was the unofficial theme of Episode 290: peace.  So let's put an end to these console wars!  Speaking of peaceful, check out the relaxing "Waiting For A Bite/Setting Fish Free (Bassa Mode)" from Super Black Bass 3.  Don't worry though, we've got some energetic jams as well, such as "The Theme of "THE COBRAS" (Player Select)" from the arcade game Vendetta.  Listen for the vocal "huh" samples in that one for further appreciation.  Basically, let's just kick back and enjoy some bonk tunes.  Peace, brother!

Episode 295: Famicom

This episode is a console focus, namely on the Famicom.  And with that, it's all Japanese-exclusive game releases.  Let's see what variety of music the Famicom can produce -and you can bet that variety becomes more pronounced when certain games have special sound chips involved.  Aside from the tunes, Brent helps Rob practice acting like an alien for an upcoming audition.  Then they practice telling someone they just wanna be friends with a musical accompaniment.  They also act like buff people at one point.  So lots of stuff to get into here!  Full track listing below.
