Brent, Rob, and Gabe rank their favorite tracks of the last year.  Will there be any doubles (that's when a track gets played twice because two people picked it)?  How about some triples?  Guess you're gonna have to listen and find out.  Partial track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Track - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless

The Legacy Music Hour celebrated its big 300th episode in Los Angeles in front of a live crowd of LMH users!  There were of course fun live activities and user interactions, but no LMH episode would be complete without a lineup of banger tracks.  "I'll Keep On Fighting As Long As I Live (Stage 7)" from the X-Men arcade features some fantastic voice samples and as well as a section that

It's The Legacy Music Hour's big 300th episode!  Recorded live in Los Angeles with a supportive group of users in attendance, Brent, Rob, and Gabe brought some great music to share.  There's also some laughs and some bathroom breaks for Brent, who was sick but pulls through, and some chiming in from some of the audience members.  Even a few people end up in the hot seat.  Plus

It's an early Halloween mixtape this year and we're about to dive into the world of scary, spooky, and creepy music!  Even within the topic of scary music, there's a lot of variety, ranging from the chilled out tone of "Ruined Mine" from Gunple: Gunman’s Proof to the hard hitting crunchy bass of "Underground Sewers" from Fester's Quest.  There's a lot here to investigate, so put on a

Halloween comes early this year for the Legacy Music Hour, though considering how Halloween decorations at some stores are already up, this episode is right on time.  Scary, spooky, and creepy music is the theme of Episode 299.  The boizz haven't done a focus like this in FIFTEEN YEARS.  Isn't that eerie?  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Track

There are so many great racing game tracks out there that it necessitated a fifth focus on the genre.  There's no denying the feeling that a racing game soundtrack can inspire.  One moment can have you on the edge of your seat, sweating out a tough competition, struggling to take first place.  Then, you can suddenly feel like you're cruising down the city streets at night with the

Sixteen years ago, Brent and Rob did their first racing games focus, and they talk about that a bit on this latest episode and even try to recreate the episode photo from Episode 2 in the photo below.  Brent also talks about some car trouble he's had recently, which is fitting.  Some really great tracks on this installment, so buckle up!  Full track listing below.Download and

This is a very momentous and significant mixtape release because it marks the mixtapes finally catching up to the release of the main episodes after twelve years from when the mixtape project began!With so many great tracks in this episode, it's hard to know where to start.  "Town of Toronto" from returning title Brain Lord has a smooth and dreamy, almost date-night sound to it.  Don't

The unofficial theme of this free play episode was "Demented Love Story," but there's nothing demented about loving these tracks.  "Original Sin (Dracula's Castle 1)" from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a classic Castlevania banger.  "Casino" from Return of Double Dragon has some really catchy bass guitar.  "Brinstar (Heavy Foliage Area)" from Super Metroid is a haunting and

Who's the most famous video game character?  Who's the best negotiator?  The boizz try to answer these questions on this edition of the Legacy Music Hour.  And play some cool game music tracks of course.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Track - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless otherwise indicated)Kirby's Adventure -

The focus for this episode was Famicom games, which therefore also means it's almost entirely Japanese-exclusive games and certainly entirely music that only appeared in Japanese-exclusive releases.  "Doll Masquerade" from Toukon Club has that classic sports game music with also the quality you know you can expect from Natsume.  After that, we get a spooky sounding track reminiscent of

Another free play filled with great music, just as you would expect.  We've got some returning titles such as Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake with a smooth, jazzy jam "Planet Impact Town."  There's also new titles to the show such as JB: The Super Bass with a phenomenal track "JB Pro Shop."  Additionally, "Wind Mountain/Earth Caves" from the classic

It had been over a decade since the boizz did a focus on Asiatic sounding music, so it was finally time to return to this topic for Asiatic Music 3!  There's a lot of great stuff here including tenner quality tracks like "Water Fortress Revisited" from Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake.  Of course there's the expected titles like Shinobi, but also some lesser

Rob has some major tech issues, but through the power of editing, you probably won't notice it too much (but you still will hear some weird moments because of it).  Brent plays music supervisor on an imagined independent romantic comedy-drama film.  And Gabe reveals the Legacy Music Player, a video game music player application which is available for Macintosh at

Surprisingly, until this point, The Legacy Music Hour had never done an episode focused on orchestral music.  They'd done some RPG episodes, and that could almost count, but not really.  Whether quiet and peaceful or loud and bombastic, orchestral music can really help set the tone for an emotional scene or an all out brawl.  We've got woodwind, string, brass and percussion
