LMH Mixtape #216: Beyond 16-Bit 5

Every once in a while the boizz venture outside the realm of the 3rd and 4th generation, and go Beyond 16-Bit.  This marks the fifth time exploring this topic, and the LMH crew have a lot of great tunes to share with you in this episode.  While these are all "beyond" tracks, you would be forgiven for mistaking some of these for 3rd or 4th generation tracks.  The first track of this mixtape is a perfect example of this, with an 8-bit tune from the Menu of the NES Classic.  There's a lot of great modern retro style VGM composers in this mix like Jake Kaufman, Toby Fox, and Eric W. Brown, but there's also classic greats like Tomoya Tomita with "Frosty Wheel" from Kirby's Epic Yarn.  Finally, this mixtape caps off with an absolute banger, "One Night In Neo Kobe City" from the Sega CD game Snatcher, which features some killer saxophone!  So grab your headphones and join us in this journey beyond.

Episode 255: Beyond 16-Bit 8

Beyond 16-Bit 8, that's a bit of a confusing title, no?  Anyway, you know how it is.  Every now and then, the Legacy Music Hour does an episode that features video game music from BEYOND the fourth generation of video games.  And yet, like other beyond focuses, this episode ends up sounding pretty retro.  Rob gets serious at one point about a subject near and dear to him, by the way, speaking of bygone eras, so brace yourself for that.  And, well, have fun listening to some of this "modern" music, and actually, some of these tracks really are from brand new games that came out this year, so there probably shouldn't be quotation marks there.  Full track listing below.
