Description

You listenin' to me? Are you listenin' to ME? I don't see any other mixtapes around, so you must be listenin' to me. And it's a good thing you are, because we've got another absolutely stacked episode for your listening pleasure. "Pokey Step" from the 2016 Famicom release: Kira Kira Star Night DX (another legal at the time track) is a really fun and cheerful track to put
Make sure you don't miss this mixtape since there's a lot of cool stuff to check out. For example, there's a track from the unreleased SNES game Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill that features some really fun and funky bass. There's an absolute slapper from Pop'n TwinBee that exudes that amazing Konami shoot-them-up energy. After that is another one of those "legal at the time"
The LMH crew kicked off 2021 with a classic free play episode. As always, there's a great mix of systems and styles to love. "Stage 1: Evil Forest" from the late-release Famicom game Moon Crystal is a really great, mysterious-sounding, sci-fi track composed by Tsukasa Tawada. The Mega Drive gets to shine with "Main BGM 3 (Floors 11 and 12)" from Madou Monogatari I. This
Like Christmas morning in the 80's, we've got lots of third and fourth generation gifts for your listening pleasure. "Ending" from Ranger X is a totally cool track with great stereo effects and classic 80's synth. We slow things down with "Ending Theme" from Kiss Shot, which is a sultry jam, perfect for a smoky lounge. We then kick things back into high gear with "Rock and Roll
It's the start of a new LMH year, and with that comes the potential for all new tenners for your listening pleasure.In this episode we get some fantastic tracks. "Mr. X" from Mega Man 6 shows how Capcom was still putting out bangers on the NES, even for the late releases of the console's lifespan. We also hear from a Mega Drive Meganet game with the track "Nineball Game" from Kiss
Get your "tenners" ready, because it's time for the Best Of Year In Review (number nine)! Reaching the end of this episode marks the ten year point for the show, so you're probably already familiar with how this works by this point. If not, here's a quick rundown: Brent and Rob alternate, counting down their top ten tracks that they discovered within the previous year. This time
Once again, it's that time when Brent and Rob and Gabe count down their favorite tracks of the last eleven episodes or so. Lots of great tracks this year, so you better believe this episode is mmm poppin' from start to finish. See you at the sushi bar.

One last free play before the top ten Year In Review, so get your "tenners" in now. Jumping right in, pound for pound, Konami/Ultra just can't be beat, and "Maniacs (Zone 3)" from Rollergames is proof of that. The fun energy of this tracks is enough to make anyone want to get up and move their body. Of course if you mention Konami, it's only fair to mention one of the other big
Some good music on this free play episode. Yeah, this month was supposed to be a "best of the year" episode, but the schedule got a little confused, so that'll be next month instead. Anyway, the boizz get pretty out there with a couple of the tracks (in different ways) and it's definitely a bit of a trip. They also talk about Leisure Suit Larry and, well, really so much more.&
While the pandemic quarantine continued, haircuts may have been in short supply, but one thing that is always abundant is the supply of great VGM for the boizz to share. Starting things off, we've got some classic David Wise music from Battletoads for the Game Boy featuring all of his iconic style. "Painting Panic!" from The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is smooth as all heck with its
This mixtape comes out swinging with a face melting rock jam ("Omake 5") from Lightening Force that is undeniably pumped up. That's followed up by a super jazzy track from 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen by Tamayo Kawamoto which has a really cool and funky bass line. In Gabe's Corner, we got to hear "Spiritual Peaks (Street Race 8)" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken, which is an
The title of the episode may be "Noise," but this free play is filled with anything but.We've got a lot of tracks from games that are new to the show, as well as some classic returning titles. For example, somehow, Rob still manages to find another Lightening Force track that hadn't been played yet, and it packs all the punch you've come to expect from that soundtrack. We've also got
The theme of this episode is repetition. While video game music from the third and fourth generation, generally speaking, is repetitious by nature (or format or whatever), in Episode 276, Brent, Rob, and Gabe share specific pieces that employ a deliberate use of repetition as a motivated compositional device. Does that make sense? Full track listing below.Download and listen
It is time, once again, to break free of the third and fourth generation bonds, and venture forth into the land Beyond. That's right, it's time for another Beyond 16-Bit episode. Number six to be precise, and there's a lot of great music here to be enjoyed. For example, golf games have always been a reliable source of great tracks, and that holds true in the "beyond" as well.&
This marked the first episode to go completely remote as a safety precaution during the early COVID-19 lockdown. Not even a pandemic could stop the boizz though, because there is still plenty of great VGM to share. Speaking of which, this free play mixtape doesn't miss a beat. To start off, "Staff Roll" from Umi Tsuri Meijin: Suzuki Hen is a chill and relaxing track that
This mixtape features all of the variety you've come to expect from a free play episode. There's even a (legal at the time) modern NES track from the 2018 game Nebs 'n Debs which gets really funky and creative. "Stage 1-2" from Alisia Dragoon makes great use of stereo sound with different elements bouncing back and forth between the left and right channels. "Fired in the General
What’s your favorite rock band? You think they’ll sound anything like the tracks on this episode? That’s right, the Legacy Music Hour is back at it with another rock music focus. What even is rock music when you think about it, huh? Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless otherwise
There's no conspiracy here. The connection between Free Plays and killer mixtapes is undeniable. You'll get a nice variety of systems and genres, such as "Dynamite Guy" from Line of Fire on the Sega Master System, alongside "Crossroad (Stage 1)" from Willow for the arcade. This episode featured one particularly intriguing track though: "Don't Stop the Jam! (Credits)" from Rejoice
"Movements" became the theme of Episode 220 and there are a lot of different types of movements showcased here. Sometimes a track has that "get up and get moving" energy like "Rainy City Night (Street Race 11)" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken, which is great for a race or just cruising down the road. "Title Theme" from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 is a
It's a classic free play episode, which means a nice variety of classic third and fourth gen tracks. There are even a couple "modern" tracks in this playlist from Battle Kid and Micro Mages -modern releases that run on original NES hardware, so they were technically LMH legal at the time, but then later determined not legal at one point in the future. Lullaby from Pac-Man 2 is a track

Mega Man always had the best music
In Italy it's either futbol or calcio... American football is futbol Americano.

Episode 172 is my favorite hands down. Way too funny
