Episode 81: Secret of Mana

Secret of Mana is the focus of Episode 81.  Brent and Rob have focused on genres, composers, and franchises, but never before have they focused on a single game.  Composed by Hiroki Kikuta, this is one of the best video game soundtracks of all time, at least, that's what Brent thinks.  Rob likes it a lot too, but not as much as Lightening Force.  Anyway, though we've heard a lot of the best tracks from Secret of Mana on previous episodes, the music in this episode is really, really good as well.  And if you haven't played this game before, get it and play it, because it's also one of the best video games of all time.  Full track listing below.
