LMH Mixtape #160: Adapted Music

Tracks adapted from previously existing music would not normally be “legal” for an LMH episode, but as a rare exception just for this specific installment, these sorts of tracks were given an opportunity to shine.  Also, be sure to check out the full episode for the debut of KeyGlyph's fantastic VGM Karaoke track: Pluto Baby!

Episode 256: Beyond 16-Bit 9

Well, it turned out to be a back-to-back beyond 16-bit situation after all.  For the second month in a row, Brent, Rob, and Gabe showcase video game music from the fifth generation and above.  Wow, they recorded this one super early in the morning.  In fact, this is the earliest they've ever recorded in the last twelve years, not including late-night post-midnight recordings.  Hey, ever wanted to meet people at a library?  No problem, the Legacy Music Hours gives you plenty of library pick-up lines you can draw from in Episode 256.  Also, Brent tests Rob's and Gabe's geography knowledge at one point, so with what you learn in that segment, you can use to impress your librarian date at dinner (or breakfast).  Full track listing below.
