Rock Out With Your Cart Out 42 – Eschatos (Xbox 360)
This week, we’re listening to the soundtrack of the Xbox 360 vertical shooter, Eschatos! Yousuke Yasui, someone we haven’t covered before on this podcast, handled the composition duties, with a special arrangement by Ryo Yonemitsu thrown in! Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the […]
ROWYCO 41 – Waterworld (SNES)
Sometimes something comes up and disrupts your plans. Well, this is exactly one of those instances. I had something entirely different planned for this episode, but then Dean Evan’s Waterworld soundtrack landed in my lap and I had to talk about it. Also, go check out his YouTube channel. He’s uploaded a few of his […]
ROWYCO 40 – Sol-Feace (Sharp X68000)
Who else but Motoi Sakuraba could get me to check out the soundtrack for a side-scrolling shooter that started life on the Sharp X68000? Yeah, probably Falcom Sound Team, but Sakuraba got me here this time. Anyway, this was one I only recently learned about myself and I’m happy to share my newfound love of […]
ROWYCO 39 – Mighty Final Fight (NES)
This week, I’m listening to Mighty Final Fight! It’s a SD version of the arcade beat ’em up on the NES with a really great, albeit short, soundtrack. Setsuo Yamamoto and Yuko Takehara handled the compositions on this on. You might not know their names, but you’re more than likely familiar with their work! Support […]
ROWYCO 35 – Terranigma – Part Two (SNES)
Let’s wrap up Terranigma’s soundtrack! There’s a few less tracks in here than the last episode, but the quality more than makes up for the quantity. Miyoko Takako and Masanori Hikichi really put together something special here and I’m really glad I got to this when I decided on covering the Gaia Trilogy. The ROWYCO […]
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)
Jason Arriola is joined by one of his Multimedia Failure cohosts, John Lucero, to dive into a sort of ssspppoooookkkyyy soundtrack. This episode, we’re covering the PC Engine CD’s version of the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood soundtrack. The Castlevania series is home to many an iconic piece of music, and Rondo of Blood stands shoulder-to-shoulder […]
ROWYCO 30 – The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III – Disc Four
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez wrap up covering the soundtrack to The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III! With over four hours worth of podcasts, we hope we’ve shone a little bit of light as to why we spend so much time covering Falcom’s work. Rather than just take our word for it, why not check […]
ROWYCO 29 – The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III – Disc 3
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez continue their exploration of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III’s soundtrack. There’s even more good stuff here and even some stuff that might be bordering on the edge of not something we normally get into. Falcom Sound Team continues to work their magic on us, and we’re all too happy […]
