Episode 17: Boss

Like a boss! This episode's music, that is. We listen to a lot of rock and orchestral tracks from boss levels, with soaring guitars and epic strings. There are some surprises in here as well, tracks that don't fit the boss music stereotype at all.

Episode 14: Games Not In Series

For episode 14, Tom and Nat focus on game that have never had sequels and aren't parts of series. Since this eliminates many of the well-known video game soundtracks, we get to hear a variety of music with unique sound qualities. Some of the tracks in this episode come from old games that will likely never get sequels, and others are from more recent games that have no sequel yet, though could in the future!
