Another great (almost entirely) Latin flavored game soundtrack is Sunsoft's Super Fantasy Zone. Probably some of the best use of the Genesis/Mega Drive's FM synthesis.
ReplyDelete@Z_MET Yep.
ReplyDeleteEven the Picnic stage theme was remixed by Jun Senoue in Sonic 3D Blast for the Genesis (the Bonus/Special stage).
Guys, just curious, how many soundtrack files do you listen to when preparing for an episode?
ReplyDeleteZ_MET: I listen to about 20, I think. There are occasions when I find tracks for future episodes and flag them so the number may be less depending on the episode. 20 sounds about right though. Of course, I am not counting the tracks I listen to at work for my own leisure.
ReplyDeleteWay late note from the Corrections Department: The black chocobo theme from Final Fantasy IV is "Samba de Chocobo". "Mambo de Chocobo" is the black chocobo theme from Final Fantasy V.
ReplyDeleteRoad Rash 3 track Brazil's bass line is very similar to a Jaco Pastorius song Kuru/Speak like a Child. Greg
