LMH Mixtape #269: Tracks That End

This episode had a fun theme: tracks that end.  Meaning, tracks that don't loop indefinitely.  That's right, you'll find a lot of title themes and ending/credits tracks here, as opposed to stage BGMs which usually loop.  "Opening" from Shadow of the Ninja is a great example of a title piece that can get you pumped to start a game.  And "Opening" from Track & Field on the Game Boy is another example of music with a strong ending that echoes out at the end.  Of course, one track's ending that needs to be mentioned is "Marginal Power (Title)" from Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman, which finishes with an amusing voice sample -so be sure to listen for that.  These tracks may all end, but the mixtape is just about to begin, and once it's all over, you can keep replaying it over and over again on loop indefinitely.  So, really, these tracks don't HAVE to end -it's up to you!
