Rock Out With Your Cart Out 91 – Cotton Rock ‘n’ Roll (Cotton Fantasy)

Sometimes there’s no real rhyme or reason for the games I pick for this show. I’ve never played a game in the long running, cute-’em-up franchise, Cotton. Hell, I’ve never listened to any of the music from them either. But I stumbled on the soundtrack to Cotton Rock ‘n’ Roll (changed to Cotton Fantasy for […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 65 – Metal Black (Arcade)

On this episode, we’re checking out an arcade side-scrolling shooter from Taito called Metal Black. Metal Black was composed by Yasuhisa Watanabe, a memeber of Taito’s legendary sound team, Zuntata. I actually had never heard of this game, never mind its soundtrack, until I bought Zuntata Arcade Classics Volume 1 on vinyl. Interspersed with music […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 64 – Falcom vs. JDK BAND Summer 2010

This week, I’m doing my own celebration of Falcom turning 40 years old by sharing one of my favorite arranged albums of theirs. Falcom vs. JDK BAND Summer 2010 sees a lot of rotation from me, so I thought I’d share yet another peek into why I love Falcom Sound Team jdk so damn much. […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 63 – Power Blade 2 (NES)

Let’s go back to the world of the most dangerous boomerang in the world with Power Blade 2’s soundtrack. This was again handled by Kinuyo Yamashita (aka James Banana), so you know we’re in for some quality music here. Support me on Patreon. The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 62 – Power Blade (NES)

It’s been quite a while since we’ve done a soundtrack from the NES (Mighty Final Fight, way back on episode 39), so I thought we’d go to a favorite of mine, Power Blade by Kinuyo Yamashita (aka James Banana). Support me on Patreon. The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 49 – Legend of the Gunstar Heroes

This week, we’re listening to an incredible tribute album by Monte from Kirby’s Dream Band. Legend of the Gunstar Heroes is a progressive rock tribute to the soundtrack to, you guessed it, Gunstar Heroes for the Genesis/Mega Drive. You don’t need to wait to listen to this episode to decide if you should buy Legend […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 47 – Valis: The Fantasm Soldier (Genesis)

Once again, I’m forced to pick a favorite. Instead of covering the remake for the PC Engine Super CD or the original PC-88 version, I decided to go with what I feel is the strongest version of the soundtrack of Valis: The Fantasm Soldier. In doing so, I’m also trying to dispel the myth that […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 46 – Lagoon (SNES)

I don’t want to lean too heavily on Falcom Sound Team jdk on this podcast. Instead of doing that, why not just find stuff that sounds like it could be something from them? In all seriousness, you can be forgiven for hearing this and thinking that someone who at least had a brief stint at […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 45 – Super Mario Land Arranged

This week, I’m going back to doing a comparison. We’re going to compare the Super Mario Land soundtrack to the Super Mario Land Arranged album. Hip Tanaka was Super Mario Land’s composer and Ikuro Fugiwara and the “Mario Freaks Orchestra” handled the arranged album. It’s a fun album full of a variety of sounds. Support […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 44 – What Did I Just Listen To? (with Alex Messenger)

This week, I’m joined by Alex Messenger from A VGM Journey to listen to some oddballs. We each picked six songs that didn’t really fit. I went with stuff that didn’t fit with the game in general that track was in. Alex went more with stuff that didn’t fit the rest of the soundtrack. It’s […]
