    LMH Mixtape #288: Castle Areas 2
    Mar 25 2026
    Castles are a common setting in video games and this was the second time the Legacy Music Hour took on this topic, including all of the variety that comes with it. A certain style may come to mind when you think of "castle" music, and there is certainly some of that in this mixtape, but castle themes can range from grand and regal to creepy or gloomy and even directions you might not expect

    LMH Mixtape #287: Buttz
    Mar 18 2026
    Episode 287 was a free play featuring a great assortment of third and fourth generation video game music. "State of Mind" from Hany on the Road is a really fun PC Engine track that sounds very motivational. "Title" from Mega Anser is a short but mysterious and intriguing track that will leave you wanting to hear more. "Hustle Maruyama" from Dynamite Headdy has an absolutely

    LMH Mixtape #286: Interesting Music
    Mar 11 2026
    This episodes's topic was an interesting one. While open to interpretation, the general idea is simply tracks that are... well, interesting, whatever that means. Maybe it means music for a more open-minded ear or maybe it just means pieces that do something cool or unusual and that stand out in a weird way. "Paper Route" from Paperboy 2 lays down some distinctly Seinfeld-esque

    LMH Mixtape #285: Sega Versus Nintendo
    Feb 25 2026
    Much like a SNES logo in the Sega font, the tracks for this episode were 50% Sega, 50% Nintendo, and 100% bonk. Starting off with a killer track from Totally Rad, from the good folks at Jaleco (haa-lee-co)! "Industen" is a fully orchestrated and epic piece from Actraiser 2 by none other than the famous Yuzo Koshiro. "Mexico" from Saturday Night Slam Masters has a classic old

    Episode 294: Talking Hands
    Mar 4 2026
    Lots of trailing pieces from last month (that is, familiar game titles) in this installment of the Legacy Music Hour, even though it is a free play. For starters, Rob, Brent, and Gabe debate whether or not a track is Asiatic sounding (again, that's not the topic this episode). They talk about meter and melody and the like. And anyway, they also talk about other stuff and play

    LMH Mixtape #284: Nice Distractions
    Feb 18 2026
    Sometimes the best thing to help you get through the day is a nice distraction, and an LMH mixtape can be just the thing. Allow yourself to be distracted by the wonderful arpeggios and multiple layers of the truly grand track "Ending" from Magical Chase. "Name Entry" from Suzuka 8 Hours is a smooth track with a great melody, and "Red Owl" from Last Bible III is a totally bonk jam.&

    Episode 293: Asiatic Music 3
    Feb 4 2026
    Not since 2013 has the Legacy Music Hour done a focus on music with an Asiatic influence, but as they've been doing more themed episodes lately, here it is once again. Some pretty standard picks here from games like Shinobi and Legend of the Mystical Ninja, but maybe a couple lesser known titles as well, all employing some kind of Far East element, even if sometimes subtly. Brent and

    LMH Mixtape #283: Happy Beginnings
    Feb 11 2026
    Happy Beginnings means (among other things) that this mixtape begins with an absolute banger. Divine Bloodlines (Stage 1 BGM) from Dracula X on the SNES is a very faithful rendition of the original CD version, with sampled electric guitar and some killer bass guitar. Castle Theme from Valkyrie no Densetsu has a very regal sound, with some great sampled choir voices.This mixtape isn't
