ROWYCO 33 – Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
The second entry in Quintet’s “Gaia Trilogy” is Illusion of Gaia and it really feels like a huge step up from Soul Blazer in terms of both gameplay and its soundtrack. Yasuhiro Kawasaki handled the compositions on this one and I really feel like he nailed it out of the park on this one. This […]
ROWYCO 32 – Soul Blazer (SNES)
This week, I’m starting my dive into the first part of the “Gaia Trilogy” of games made by Quintet, Soul Blazer. I think this might be the weakest of the soundtracks I cover in this series, but there’s still plenty to like about its soundtrack. I was probably a little more harsh on it when […]
ROWYCO 31 – Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine CD)

The Castlevania series is home to many an iconic piece of music, and Rondo of Blood stands shoulder-to-shoulder […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez continue their exploration of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III’s soundtrack.

Falcom Sound Team continues to work their magic on us, and we’re all too happy […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are going Falcom Sound Team jdk crazy for the next few episodes! Over the course of our next four episodes, we’ll be covering the soundtrack for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III. Normally, this means this would be taking up two months of regular shows, but with the North American […]
ROWYCO 26: Game Boy’s First Year
Jason Arriola is flying solo this week. I needed something to act as a fill-in episode of sorts, so I decided to go back to a console near and dear to my heart. The Game Boy’s first year had some rather simple games on it, with only a few titles standing out, and the music […]
ROWYCO 24 – Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are ready for some football! Well, if it’s on the NES in the form of Tecmo Super Bowl, they are. Anyway, the boys listen to this to sort of ride the wave of the 2019 NFL regular season starting up today. Keiji Yamagishi and Ryuichi Nitta were the composers on this one and […]

This soundtrack is entirely unique and might actually surprise you in a few spots with how much it has going for it! The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was […]
