For episode 14, Tom and Nat focus on game that have never had sequels and aren't parts of series. Since this eliminates many of the well-known video game soundtracks, we get to hear a variety of music with unique sound qualities. Some of the tracks in this episode come from old games that will likely never get sequels, and others are from more recent games that have no sequel yet, though could in the future!

We focus on vocal music for episode 13! This includes a wide variety of tracks, some cheesy, some donuty. Vocals in VGM can be a divisive topic, so hopefully this will be enjoyable to the vocals lovers and enlightening to the vocals haters!

The SQ Albums are a series of official arrangement albums created by Square Enix arranging many different games that they developed. This series includes a set of chiptune-focused arrangement albums, as well as other albums with various themes. Tom and Nat enjoy picking tracks from the SQ Albums, including a few expected games such as Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, as well as some lesser known games such as Live-a-Live and Threads of Fate.
BTW, thanks for being understanding that we have missed a few of our every-other-week-on-Wednesdays releases, since we've been busy with summer vacations, etc. We hope to get back into a groove as fall hits!

We celebrate the 20th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country by listening to tracks from throughout the DKC series. Tom and Nat are joined by Jon Funk, the resident statistician/mad scientist of the Rainwave forums, who picks some excellent tracks. Tom and Nat admit some potentially unpopular opinions about DKC's music, yet we all ended up enjoying the music that was played!
Note: Jon's mic was unfortunately muffled, making his voice sometimes hard to hear.
