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 67 – Illumination Laser (X68000)

I swear I’m not trying to out-obscure myself every few episodes, but I stumbled on this one and had to share. I mean, I’ve said how much I love a good shooter soundtrack and how much I love a good X68000 soundtrack. Now, a good X68000 shooter soundtrack? Yeah, right in my wheelhouse. Anyway, you’ll […]

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 56 – Stellar Assault (32X)

We’re heading into uncharted territory here with the 32X game, Stellar Assault. The soundtrack is a bit of a strange duck that fits in the with the original intent of this show (great video game music that might not be attached to a great game), but also doesn’t necessarily fit in with the game itself. […]

Rock Out With Your Cart Out 55 – The Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disk System and Remixes)

Since today is the 35th anniversary of The Hyrule Fantasy: Zeruda no Densetsu (known to most of the Western world as The Legend of Zelda) releasing on the Famicom Disk System, I thought I’d go over the soundtrack for it. Now, considering how sparse the actual soundtrack is, I included some of my favorite remixes. […]

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 48 – Atomic Robo-Kid (Arcade/Genesis/PC Engine/X68000)

Think of this episode as a call to action. The Atomic Robo-Kid soundtrack has a lot of potential but is hurt by some of the choices made for it. I’m not saying go out and make an album and thank me or anything, but I feel like SOMEONE should do something with this soundtrack. There’s […]
