Send us a text The guys are back after an unscheduled hiatus. Mike Kapitan and Thomas Dolby compose this sci-fi thriller of a CD-ROM game.

Send us a text You may have heard of him, perhaps not, but he is a composer from the early nineties. Most notably, he worked on the sci-fi title Cyberia, which is what brought him to Mike's attention at the ripe age of 10. Since then he has been busy in real bands, both composing and mixing artists' various works. Join us as we talk to him and get some of his thoughts on the experience of composing only a few times for video games. Links for Mike mikekapitan.com https://www.youtube.com/...

Send us a text Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata team up for one of gaming's finest scores. The Playstation 1 epic is chock full of medieval battles, corruption, greed and demons and this score captures it all. From fun romps in a wheat field to encountering horrific end-of-the-world demons, this score takes us from highs to lows and everywhere in-between. Mike and Jesse gush at the score's impact and reminisce about the game's unforgiving nature. Special shout to Jacob Shrum, who re...

Send us a text Not as impactful as any of the fists or knees flying in the game itself, but it does have some punch.

Send us a text Taro Kudo brings us his one and only fully-realized soundtrack and it's a banger. Konami released an obscure shoot 'em up in the early days of the SNES and it stood tall with the others. With experimental sound effects and themes, Kudo utilized the SNES sound chip to its maximum capability to bring a soundtrack that cemented it as one not to be missed.

Send us a text Not every soundtrack can be a banger. Mike and Jesse review a title that not everyone has heard of from deep in the NES catalogue for today's soundtrack. While the soundtrack has promise, it ultimately falls short.

Send us a text It was inevitable. This soundtrack has been on everyone's minds for years. Mike and Jesse sit down to discuss one of the NES' finest soundtracks. Composed almost entirely by Takashi Tateishi, Manami Matsumae (of Mega Man 1 fame) is credited for her contributions to the first game as well as helping compose a new track. These two composers working together bring forth a force to be reckoned with in video game composition. JOIN OUR SOCIALS! magusmediaproductions.net www.f...

Send us a text The guys discuss the return of one of RTS' most significant stories. With a blend of crunchy electric guitars, orchestra, electronica and even a fiddle or two, this soundtrack is on fire. From the backwoods feel Raynor's Raiders to the militaristic might of Mengsk, the soundtrack keeps the story ever present and engaging. Mike also says farewell to Jon, who will be taking a step back from hosting for a while. JOIN OUR SOCIALS! magusmediaproductions.net www.facebook.com/...
