CRT Soundsystem

Going back to the Final Fantasy well for this episode. I had gotten into listening to this soundtrack at work and sort of pushed everything aside to do an episode on the soundtrack because it's long been one of my favourites in the series. 00:00:00 Shuffle or Boogie00:02:05 Talk 100:13:16 Blue Fields00:14:46 Find Your Way00:18:33 Balamb GARDEN00:22:01 Fisherman's Horizon00:25:36 Talk 200:32:52 Martial Law00:36:39 Junction00:38:15 The Salt Flats00:41:50 Talk 300:48:16 The Landing00:52:51 Only a Plank Between One and Perdition00:55:15 Never Look Back00:58:37 Maybe I'm a Lion01:04:11 Talk 401:08:48 Lunatic Pandora01:12:16 SUCCESSION OF WITCHES01:15:33 Truth01:19:11 Talk 501:26:39 Don't be Afraid01:29:29 Force Your Way01:33:20 The Man with the Machine Gun01:36:09 The Extreme01:42:52 Talk 601:47:55 Love Grows

This week we're joined by famed Youtubist Kay of Kay and Skittles. When we started this pod they immediately got in contact and insisted we have them on for a Metal Gear Rising Revengeance episode. A game we all love that's seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years — not so much for its soundtrack — but as we discuss, the songs mirror the story and themes of the game quite strongly. The EDM inflected Nu Metal gives it a very specific vibe and we love it here on the pod. 00:00:00 Jamie Christopherson; Jason Miller - Rules of Nature (Platinum Mix)00:02:29 Talk 100:12:41 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Tyson Yen - The Only Thing I Know for Real (Maniac Agenda Mix)00:15:03 Jamie Christopherson; Akira Takizawa; Graeme Cornies - I'm My Own Master Now (Platinum Mix)00:17:09 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Maniac Agenda - A Stranger I Remain (Maniac Agenda Mix)00:19:32 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Maniac Agenda; Kit Walters - The Stains of Time (Maniac Agenda Mix)00:21:43 Talk 200:28:51 Jamie Christopherson; Akira Takizawa; Graeme Cornies - Dark Skies (Platinum Mix)00:31:09 Jamie Christopherson; Akira Takizawa; John Bush - Return to Ashes (Platinum Mix)00:33:23 Jamie Christopherson; Akira Takizawa; Kit Walters - A Soul Can't Be Cut (Platinum Mix)00:35:39 Talk 300:41:12 Jamie Christopherson - Chasing The Wind00:43:16 Jamie Christopherson - Rising Action 100:45:08 Jamie Christopherson - Dwarf Gekko00:47:12 Jamie Christopherson - Mystical Ninja00:49:24 Talk 400:58:27 Jamie Christopherson; Ferry Corsten; Akira Takizawa; Logan Mader - The Hot Wind Blowing featuring Ferry Corsten (Platinum Mix)01:00:44 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Maniac Agenda; Jason Miller - Red Sun (Maniac Agenda Mix)01:02:54 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Maniac Agenda; Jimmy Gnecco - Collective Consciousness (Maniac Agenda Mix)01:05:31 Logan Mader; Jamie Christopherson; Akira Takizawa; Pete Crossman; Jimmy Gnecco - It Has To Be This Way (Platinum Mix)01:08:25 Talk 501:22:08 Jamie Christopherson, Pete Crossman, James Chapple, David Kelly, Graeme Cornies - The War Still Rages Within

Having a spooky February with this Silent Hill 2 episode. We had to bring in a pinch hitter for this one so my immediate thought went to Silent Hill 2, one of my favourite games and favourite soundtracks. Akira Yamaoka's moody, atmospheric tunes are dripping with menace but are still incredibly listenable and tuneful. 00:00:00 Akira Yamaoka - Promise (Reprise)00:01:45 Talk 100:11:57 Akira Yamaoka - White Noiz00:13:21 Akira Yamaoka - Forest00:15:04 Akira Yamaoka - Prisonic Fairytale00:16:59 Akira Yamaoka - Heaven's Night00:19:04 Akira Yamaoka - The Day of Night00:20:41 Talk 200:30:03 Akira Yamaoka - Betrayal00:32:33 Akira Yamaoka - Ashes and Ghost00:35:41 Akira Yamaoka - The Darkness That Lurks in Our Mind00:36:57 Akira Yamaoka - Terror in the Depths of the Fog00:41:29 Talk 300:46:36 Akira Yamaoka - Theme of Laura00:50:01 Akira Yamaoka - Love Psalm00:54:27 Talk 401:03:27 Akira Yamaoka - True01:06:34 Akira Yamaoka - Null Moon01:09:24 Akira Yamaoka - Magdalene01:11:17 Akira Yamaoka - Fermata in Mystic Air01:13:34 Talk 501:23:40 Akira Yamaoka - Overdose Delusion01:28:12 Akira Yamaoka - Angel's Thanatos01:31:30 Akira Yamaoka - Promise01:36:10 Talk 601:46:30 Akira Yamaoka - The Reverse Will - Rebirth EndingPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/crtpodsystemReese's Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourverygoodbudTom's Mastodon: https://jorts.horse/@forpushPodcast Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/crtsoundsystemEmail: crtpodsystem [@] gmailCRT Artwork by https://www.instagram.com/juicezombie.art/

Shifting gear again for another bit of a grab bag episode. There are so many different versions of Tetris and many of them have really great soundtracks either to keep you chill or ramp up the tension while you play so I just wanted to highlight some of my own favourites. As I mentioned, no Tetris Effect here since I'm saving that for something more focused but otherwise please enjoy! Also, to my great shame I called the first game Tetris 3DO a few times but it's actually the CD-i, I'm sorry to all aficionados of failed 90s cd based systems for this grave transgression. 00:00:00 Jim Andron - Level 000:04:02 Talk 100:09:54 Jim Andron - High Scores00:11:20 Jim Andron - Level 300:15:46 Jim Andron - Level 500:20:11 Talk 200:26:02 Iku Mizutani - Atlantis00:28:01 Iku Mizutani - Classic Mode (Fast)00:30:18 Iku Mizutani; Shinya Kurahashi; Hikaru Tamura - Knossos00:31:28 Iku Mizutani; Shinya Kurahashi; Hikaru Tamura - Knossos 200:32:46 Iku Mizutani; Shinya Kurahashi; Hikaru Tamura - Angkor Wat 100:34:21 Talk 300:45:10 Tetris X - Technotris00:47:10 Tetris X - Troika00:49:15 Tetris X - Battle00:51:23 Tetris X - tetrisx_0700:53:48 Tomoyuki Hamada - Pompous Opponent00:55:16 Tomoyuki Hamada - The Last Battle00:58:03 Talk 401:05:19 Neil Voss - Pyramid01:07:35 Neil Voss - Haluci01:10:19 Neil Voss - Giali01:14:03 Neil Voss - Celtic01:17:03 Neil Voss - Kalinka01:20:08 Talk 501:28:05 Shinji Hosoe, Ayako Saso - Mode Select01:29:16 Shinji Hosoe, Ayako Saso - Level 700-89901:31:55 Shinji Hosoe - Hardening Drops (Instant Death Mix) - Over Level 50001:34:19 Talk 601:46:42 Doctor Spin - Tetris (12' Mix)

Note - I'm renaming this as a Mini as I think I want to try doing some occasional shorter episodes for games that don't have very long soundtracks. Will see how it pans out but for now let's consider this one to be Mini Episode 1 A little break from the format here to talk about DubWars, a neat - if a bit broken, I couldn't get it to run on my computer - rhythm/shooter hybrid. The music is all very early 2010s Electro-house/dubstep so if you're not a fan of synths that sound like chainsaws this might not be for you but I'm a sicko for that shit.00:00:00 Summer School - Choose Your Weapon00:04:21 Talk 100:11:37 Spock - Break It Up00:15:30 Celldweller - Tough Guy (Tim Ismag Remix)00:19:38 Omni - Urban Metaphor00:24:11 Minecraft Universe - Eclipse00:27:45 Distorted - Totally Sick00:32:56 Dubsective - Synergy00:36:50 Talk 200:54:32 Varien - MetalworksTwitter: https://twitter.com/crtpodsystemPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/crtpodsystemReese's Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourverygoodbudEmail: crtpodsystem [@] gmailCRT Artwork by https://www.instagram.com/juicezombie.art/

It's time to go goblin mode! They said it could never be done but we're doing the entire soundtrack from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World The Game. I couldn't bring myself to cut any tracks so we just said 'fuck it' and did them all (as it turns out there is now a bunch more music available for this game that was literally finally released the day we recorded.) Anyway, this soundtrack rules so let's get stuck in. 00:00:00 Scott Pilgrim Anthem00:01:38 Talk 100:13:14 Another Winter00:15:47 Just Like In The Movies00:17:58 Rock Club00:20:31 Bollywood00:22:37 Skate Or Live00:24:14 Vegetable Rock00:26:08 Talk 200:38:32 Cheap Shop00:40:09 Suburban Tram00:41:45 Maki Ya00:43:23 Sushi Box00:45:19 Rox 30000:46:54 Talk 300:56:43 Subboss Theme00:58:25 Party Stronger01:00:41 Giant Contraband Robot01:02:22 Shrine Bros01:04:03 Twin Dragons01:06:03 Talk 301:13:19 Leave The Past Behind01:16:01 The Dark One01:17:59 Come On Down01:20:01 Technoman01:21:50 Gideon Wrath Part 101:23:39 Gideon Wrath Part 201:25:26 Talk 401:39:28 This Is The EndTwitter: https://twitter.com/crtpodsystemPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/crtpodsystemReese's Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourverygoodbudEmail: crtpodsystem [@] gmailCRT Artwork by https://www.instagram.com/juicezombie.art/

This week we take flight, or at least, we manage those who do?
