Brent should have played nothing but Boogerman tracks on this one.
ReplyDeleteSnot a bad idea!
DeleteTotally agree that Breakers is strong in the Van Damme. The track immediately hit me with Kickboxer.
ReplyDeleteIf one isn't paying attention to the subtle differences in voice and the snot, this episode kind of sounds like there's three Brents in the house. TripleBrent= hilarious. wonderful episode as always!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Is the third Brent within a window within Rob's window?
DeleteWhen they're all counting at once it's like stacked Weinbachs. And it was totally 7/8. Without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a really funny moment. I've totally counted like that when listening to weird fusion tracks. I counted it out, and I agree it was definitely 7/8.
DeleteI'm probably just watching too many Charlie Brown holiday specials but the base line on that Grand Prix track reminds of the main Peanuts theme
ReplyDeleteNo way Matt -- I thought the same thing!
DeleteThanks for shout out, Brent! Here's a link to my version of Marbles for the users: https://soundcloud.com/chrisleonguitar/marbles
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover! Those solos are great. I could alternate between the original and your version all day.
Delete2 of my wishes were granted this episode: the Ballz track was a callback to the "Funny" episode while the Kid Dracula ending brought back the Western voices of Boss Bach and Switch the Kid. Yee haw!
ReplyDeleteGeneral comments:
ReplyDeleteGlad that you guys liked "Overture" from Tengai Makyou Zero: Far East of Eden. Its one of my favorites from this soundtrack. One of the things that sold me on this track is the interesting echo percussion that starts at 1:23, which reminds me of "Emperor of balladry"'s percussion that sounds like horse hooves clacking. I'm sucker for interesting percussion. This soundtrack's sound design reminds me of something that Hitoshi Sakimoto would do. The quality is incredible. Just listen to the echo effect used in "Born with a Sword, Dead by a Sword" and "Tangible Fear". After hearing this episode, I re-listened to this soundtrack again and dare I say it - my soundtrack of the year has changed again. Such a gem of a soundtrack. - Slick Vic
Hmmm can I even say composers of the year as well?
DeleteThis episode was Weinbonk.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I really liked all the emotions Rob brought to my letters. And Brent killed it on the riddles.
I'm also amused that the wrapping paper got a mention. The Bach Brothers are pretty adorable.
I wonder if we'll get the whole family sometime in a future episode?
sorry, posted my comment below on the wrong spot :OP
Deletesince my question was a bit tough, its only fair that I answer it as well. I originally was going to choose "Battletoads", since I haven't won it cleanly and its David Wise music.. nuff said. But I would probably end up throwing the controller into the TV screen in frustration.
ReplyDeleteSo in order to tackle this question I figure I need a game that has enough variables to keep me entertained and thats a shooter. Even if you beat it once, you have other factors to keep playing it.
- various difficulty levels
-score attack aka beating your score
- various power ups
-trying to finish a game on 1 ship/ 1 continue
As for the game- I would choose "Gradius 3".
-Iconic soundtrack
-and Edit Mode adds to the replay factor
Awesome to get mentioned! I pronounce my name the second way Brent said it, like "steppin'" with an F sound in the middle instead of a P.
ReplyDeleteI thought the "hold her hoof" question was tough, as you guys came up with that during "New Horse" from Jumpin' Derby, but also said it during Keiba Eight Special 2. But the stipulation that it would be a track you sang along with rules out "New Horse," so I won't cry foul.
It was cool to hear the Weinbach bros work out a time signature; usually when Brent comments on it, it's a throwaway remark that doesn't lead to any further discussion. Other tracks you've played where I've noticed a time signature in 7 are the first Märchen Maze track Rob played back in episode 3, and the Thunder Blade track in in Flying and Shooting 3. I'm sure I've noticed it other times on the show, but these two are the ones I remember.
