LMH Mixtape #140: Free Play 14

For the first time, Brent didn't have his co-pilot, Rob F. Switch by his side.  Even though it's a solo flight, the spirit of Rob is still quite present.  This free play has a little something for everybody: energetic Genesis FM Synths, propulsive Konami jams, lovely orchestral melodies with a splash of that classic "video game" sound.
