A brand new iteration of The Sound Test, in which I explore my top five VGM tunes from any particular topic. In this second episode, I take a good long look at probably my favourite gaming genre - puzzles. As a result, I get caught up in the windmills of nostalgia while presenting a rich playlist of great VGM. And that's not all! I'm also more than happy to welcome Wabi Sabi Sound's Andrew Lackey onto the show for one of my most fascinating interviews, all about the audio of The Witness. Finally, keep your ears pricked for a bespoke mini-puzzle I've snuck into the audio! FULL PLAYLIST COMING SOON!

A brand new iteration of The Sound Test, in which I explore my top five VGM tunes from any particular topic. For my first episode back in months, the topic I've chosen is gangsters; mostly thanks to the release of "The Many Saints of Newark". This episode is packed with fantastic music, trivia and even a few surprises along the way. The podcast is guaranteed to please longtime listeners, and hopefully convert a few new ones!

Unfortunately, The Sound Test has been forced into a lengthy hiatus due to a very difficult personal situation I'm going through. Not only has my situation stopped me from working, but I don't even have access to my old equipment. It's not nice, and I wish I could keep the VGM going like I used to - but I'm far from done with The Sound Test. I miss it dearly, and still have many interviews to publish. So, I used my step-mother's laptop (yes!) to remaster this old show with Dale from the very beginning of 2019. That's why there are no pictures or anything fancy going on here - nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this time machine back to the past and I hope to see some of the old regulars in the LIVE chat!Original description:"Happy New Year! It's been one of the most insane festive periods for me this year, so I hope you guys understand as I land kind of slowly into the new year. From this episode, Dale and I will be a lot more regular and reliable with this show, and I have plenty of content planned for 2019. I will, of course, be keeping you updated through here, but until things develop, I hope you enjoy this latest episode of The Sound Test LIVE!"This week's playlist [SPOILERS AHEAD!]:Lee Tyrrell - Yellow [Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]Micheal Hunter - Soviet Connection [Grand Theft Auto IV]Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata & Hajime Wakai - Kakariko Village (Day) [The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]The National - Exile Vilify [Portal 2]Neil Biggin - On The Go [Loaded]Mari Yamaguchi - Dark Forest [The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse]Nobuo Uematsu - Cait Sith's Theme [Final Fantasy VII]Nobuo Uematsu - Aerith's Theme [Distant Worlds]Greg Weber & Steve Henifin - Cemetery Stage [Gex]Masaya Matsuura & Yoshihisa Suzuki - Chop Chop (Master Onion's Rap) [PaRappa the Rapper]New Japan Philharmonic - The Great Medley [Smashing...Live!]Nathan McCree & Johann Strauss Sr. - Radetzky March [Asterix and the Power of the Gods]Katsuhiko Suzuki, Yasuko, Kouji, Aki & Non - Headdy the Hero [Dynamite Headdy]Christopher Tyng - Credits [Futurama: The Video Game]Christopher Lennertz - Main Theme [Gun]Tatsuyuki Maeda & Yutaka Minobe - Neo Green Hill Zone [Sonic Advance]Austin Wintory - The Road of Trials [Journey]C418 - Dreiton [Minecraft]Masato Onishi & Daisuke Matsuoka - Arcade Bunny's Theme [Nintendo Badge Arcade]Eric Chevalier - The Fairy Glade [Rayman 2]Kei Morioka, Masafumi Ogata & Rei Shimizu - CAW [WWF SmackDown!]MAIN THEME:Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo & Yasuake Iwata - World 8 [Super Mario 3D World]Discord:https://discord.gg/xeMfzWyRequests and contact:https://twitter.com/GreenT128"The Sound Test" on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thesoundtest/Original episodes of The Sound Test LIVE, with Dale Fowler, are available through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/_secretcaveAlso available through:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcher

State Senator Dale Fowler brings us up to date on the latest happenings with the Alexander-Cairo Port District.

In this completely off-the-cuff episode, I address some of the concerns that may have built up around The Sound Test in the past month or so. It's not all serious though, as pretty much all of this is the usual serving of VGM goodness, tinged with a little optimistic looking ahead.It's been a tough time for the show, and myself lately, and I've occasionally posted some rather daft things that I regret. But, we're all surviving through a worldwide pandemic, and here I try to put a lot of that behind me and just get on with the game music glory.Despite the fact that NONE of this show was planned, I hope you enjoy it!This week's playlist:The Vogon Hold - Lee Tyrrell [Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (One-Night VGM, Vol. 2)]In Space (Metal Twolegs Remix) - Jeroen Tel [The Sound of SceneSat, Vol. 2]Max Returns - Rod Thacker [The Sound of SceneSat, Vol. 1]Magical Sound Shower (from "Outrun") - Chris Abbott [Arcade Classics, Vol. 1]Battle!

Since my latest ST2 eps have been all about LucasArts, I decided to broadcast a LIVE special all about them too! For my first show of 2021, I present tracks from some of their earliest releases, right up to the very last game they developed that wasn't based on Star Wars. As a result, this playlist is stacked with some of the very best VGM ever composed, and it was a lot of fun to be back with the show.In addition, don't miss this episode's new SFX Showdown, where you can win your own physical copy of "Lost Astronaut" by Empty Tables; a great album from a fresh new talent, which you can hear a couple of tracks from in this playlist!This week's playlist:Ballblazer (feat.

For my very final show of 2020, I go big with an absolute iceberg of a broadcast. Thanks to the listeners, the playlist is full of cold, icy, christmassy tunes, but I put a little twist on my personal choices this week. You'll meet various ghosts of my Christmases past, as I introduce you to the games that have been particularly exciting presents over the years.Excitingly, I'm also joined for a LIVE chat by Matthew Smith; journalist, and producer of "Amiga Power: The Album with Attitude", which pays tribute to one of Britain's best loved gaming magazines and the Amiga VGM scene as a whole.

FREEZE!Following on from my Hypnospace Outlaw bonus, I decided to make this show all about gaming police officers, law enforcers, coppers and bobbies. There are a lot to choose from too, as these themed episodes could easily have second parts one day.

This episode revs into December with a look at some of the best known and best loved vehicles in games! From the Blue Falcon to Bowser's airships and everything between, this was a topic that could easily have several broadcasts dedicated to it.Outside of planes, trains and automobiles, I take a step back from many of the show's regular features this week. As we approach 2021, I'm thinking of several ways I can reshuffle the format of The Sound Test; with one key word in mind - simplify. The features have been fun, but really we're all just here for great music.

No interview this week, but we do have a stacked playlist of sidekick celebration! I explore some of gaming's most well-known tagalongs, player 2s and assistants; all with the help of my wonderful regular listeners. You'll hear my own Top 5, along with a whole host of other great choices!Besides the theme, this episode finally brings some concrete (and complex) answers to the VGM SongFight battle.

The Sound Test welcomes yet another big interview guest this week, as Barry Leitch joins me for a chat about his whole legendary career. From his music and sound for a string of popular racing games to his intriguing work on children's toys, we cover a lot of interesting ground. It was fantastic to have Barry on the show, and I hope we talk again soon!The theme for this week otherwise, though, is final bosses; main antagonists.

For this episode, I'm joined about halfway for a brand new chat with TDK. He's a regular name on my show, and one of the contributors to ST2, so it's fantastic to welcome him back to The Sound Test. This time, we catch up about his latest album - "Retrospect" - currently available through https://marktdkknight.bandcamp.com !Besides my talk with TDK, I also take a look at various intriguing peripherals and bits of hardware that have popped up through the history of gaming. Whether it's Rez's Trance Vibrator or Donkey Konga's bongos, you'll hear about some of the most (and least) successful gadgets throughout the years.Of course, we continue the VGM SongFight battle, move into a challenging round of the SFX Showdown and the News Cop seems particularly irate this week...This week's playlist:Build Finish – ???

Since I'm away in Ireland this week, I've cooked up another old school ST remaster! This one's our third ever episode, from nearly two years ago.For more recent Sound Test listeners, be prepared for a change in tone! Not only did my co-host, Dale, and I approach things a lot more casually, but I was a lot more ignorant of VGM as a whole. Really, I was at the beginning of my journey.I hope these early days are fun to hear though, and it's interesting how many things come up as new to me that I later record in-depth podcasts about!This week's playlist:Koji Kondo - Dark World [The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]Craig Conner & Stuart Ross - Main Theme [Grand Theft Auto III]Michael Bartlow - Palm Desert [Road Rash]Ridiculon - Throw Another Banjo on the Fire [Super Meat Boy: 5th Anniversary]Jun Ishikawa - The First Course [Kirby Super Star]John Paesano - Inside the Numbers [Marvel's Spider-Man]Nathan McCree - Title Theme [Asterix and the Great Rescue]Koji Kondo - Dire, Dire Docks [Super Mario 64]Grant Kirkhope - Treasure Trove Cove [Banjo-Kazooie]??? - ???

I won't be here next week because of a holiday, so this episode gets all kinds of spooky in advance of Halloween. We skulk from the shadows of one creepy track to another as we explore the ghoulish sounds of various horror-themed games.Despite the darkness, regular features light the way! From news about a new Mario movie, Gotham Knights and more on the horizon from TDK to another twist in the tale of the SongFight, this show is truly packed. And let's not forget about a whole new, haunted edition of the SFX Showdown...This week's playlist:Manhunt – Craig Conner [Manhunt]Skeletons in my Closet – The Fat Man and Team Fat [The 7th Guest]Mad Monster Mansion – Grant Kirkhope [Banjo-Kazooie]Spooks of Halloween Town – Yoko Shimomura [Kingdom Hearts II]Sadness (arranged) – Junko Tamiya [Sweet Home]India Docks; Smithfield – Frederic Motte [Nightmare Creatures]Haunted Mansion – Graeme Norgate [TimeSplitters]Inner Demon – Nick Arundel [Batman: Arkham Knight]Employment Center – Peter Due [Forgotton Anne]Blackbosom – Masayoshi Soken [Final Fantasy XIV]Their Faces Still Haunt Us – Ben Crossbones [Organ Trail]Skull Man – Minae Fujii and/or Yasuaki Fujita [Mega Man 4]Graveyard – Kazumi Totaka [Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]Boss Theme 1 – Toshiko Tasaki (Anzaki Waraco) [Magical Hat's Turbo Flight!

Get sat comfortably, class, and prepare for this week's lesson - history! Whether it's Vikings, Ancient Egyptians, the Swinging Sixties or 15th Century Bohemia, this episode dips into a variety of historical video games.Besides my own Top 5, and choices from my regulars, we hear all sorts of history-inspired fantasy titles and, of course, check in on all the regular features.

Snacks at the ready, because this episode takes a look at some of gaming's tastiest delectables. From Pac-Man's fruit to the glorious culinary delights of Final Fantasy XV, you're sure to feel hungry as the show rolls on.Besides the gastronomic glory, I take a look at three interesting developments for Quickfire News and the SFX Showdown continues with an ever-growing scoreboard. An untrustworthy interloper gets involved in the VGM SongFight, and Daisy spends the majority of the broadcast asleep on me.This week's playlist:Main Menu – Masayoshi Ishi [Cooking Mama]Pepsiman – James & Gang [Pepsiman]Recipe For The Perfect Afro – Featurcast [Jet Set Radio]Sunny Drive Downtown – Jonathan Geer [Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3]Pac-Man Remix – Arsenic 1987RVTK-1 – Hiroyuki Shimizu [beatmania GB: Gotcha Mix 2]Pools of Poison – Jeroen TelBlack Dragon Fight Club – Nathan Grigg [Mortal Kombat 11]Golden Axe – Fastloaders [Amiga Rocks]Final Fight – Fastloaders [Amiga Rocks]Mount Volbono – Naoto Kubo, Shiho Fujii and/or Koji Kondo [Super Mario Odyssey]The Honeyhive – Mahito Yokota and/or Koji Kondo [Super Mario Galaxy]Choco Island – Soyo Oka [Mario Kart: Super Circuit]Chef – Noriko Nishizaka, Saburo Sasaki and/or Yoko Mizuta [Game & Watch Gallery 2]Federation of Free Traders – Ben Daglish [Federation of Free Traders]San Andreas Theme Song – Young Maylay [GTA: San Andreas]??? – Yasuhisa Ito [Bishi Bashi Special]Credits – Murugan Thiruchelvam, Joe Paine and/or Oliver Hindle [I Am Bread]Big Belly – Grant Kirkhope [Project Dream]GRA-A-ANDMA! – Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi and/or Koji Kondo [The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]Gameboy Horror Theme – Kazumi Totaka and/or Shinobu Tanaka [Luigi's Mansion]Costa Del Sol – Nobuo Uematsu [Final Fantasy VII]CINDY – Yoko Shimomura [Final Fantasy XV]Home – Toby Fox [Undertale]Clotho (Edit) – Kazuo Wakihara, Hisaki Nimiya and/or Kazimoto [Columns] MAIN THEME:Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo & Yasuake Iwata - World 8 [Super Mario 3D World]Discord:https://discord.gg/xeMfzWyRequests and contact:https://twitter.com/GreenT128"The Sound Test" on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thesoundtest/Original episodes of The Sound Test LIVE, with Dale Fowler, are available through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/_secretcaveAlso available through:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcher

As VGM lovers, we all come across tunes and soundtracks from games we've never played. In this episode, I explore my personal Top 5 games that, despite never playing, have excellent music. My regular listeners get in on the theme too, and plenty of recommendations are thrown around.Otherwise, Quickfire News continues on strong with three new segments, while bookending rounds of the SFX Showdown should keep you on your feet. I also need the help of a new TTS guardian angel to pronounce one particular legend's name right.In the VGM SongFight, Mario agrees that Rosalina's odd space signal is a worry, and suggests the help of an old family friend...This week's playlist:Track 2 – Alberto J.

Besides a mic-levels blunder at the very beginning, this is one of my favourite Sound Test broadcasts ever.Within, we celebrate incredible video game music largely brought to the table by my Discord members. Across the course of this episode, you'll hear how many of my regular listeners came to love VGM and the tunes that started their passion. Of course, I've got a Top 5 of my own formative choices, alongside new rounds of Quickfire News and the SFX Showdown.Particularly special this week is a LIVE call-in interview from Jammin' Sam Miller; the man behind a string of impressive Donkey Kong Country restorations. We discuss his history with the franchise and music, dig a little into his restoration process and even hear about his composing work for an adaptation of War of the Worlds!In the VGM SongFight battle, we discover that - just like an oft-ridiculed spin-off - Mario is Missing! And it's up to you if Rosalina can track him down or not for next week. Until then, I hope you enjoy this extra-stuffed playlist of VGM goodness and thank you to everyone who contributed choices!This week's playlist:Title – Hiroshige Tonomura [DuckTales]Staff Roll – Rainbowdragoneyes [The Messenger]Ice Cap Zone 2 – Brad Buxer [Sonic the Hedgehog 3]Carrera Rapida – Apollo 440 [Rapid Racer]This Life – Slumpussy [Grand Theft Auto]Stickerbrush Symphony – Jammin' Sam Miller (originally composed by David Wise) [Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]Nuts & Bolts – Jammin' Sam Miller (originally composed by Eveline Novakovic) [Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]Treasure Trove Cove (Smash Remix) – Originally composed by Grant Kirkhope [Super Smash Bros.

The show gets a polish up this week, with a whole new QuickFire News segment and a special COVID-inspired Top 5!What video game characters would you feel most comfortable bumping into in the supermarket during this pandemic? I take a look at my Top 5 masked characters, all while fumbling my way through all the usual features and a nice, chunky playlist.This week's playlist:Cocoa and the Time Machine – Mike Richmond [Cocoa and the Time Machine]Title Screen – Tim & Mike Follin [LED Storm]Intro – Jeroen Tel & Reyn Ouwehand [Rubicon]Intro – Allister Brimble [Alien Breed II]Rio at Day – Allister Brimble [The Driver Syndicate]Vs.

Following on from my ST2 Racing Special, I take a look at some of my personal favourite racing games over the years. Unlike how I usually structure playlists, I've made this one follow a bit of a timeline. Across the course of the show, it dips in and out of different consoles, showing off their capabilities and general style.Also, this show is shorter than most, coming in at about half length. I was very tired after hard work on ST2 this week but, oddly, it results in a surprisingly professional demeanour! Maybe I should always be a bit knackered before a broadcast...This week's playlist:Board Shop – Isao Kasai and/or Tomohiko Sato [Snowboard Kids]Passing Breeze – S.S.T.

I'm back on my own this week, but that doesn't stop the tunes a-flowing! Not only is the playlist nice and strong this week, but we return to presenting a full selection of features - for the first time in months!Alongside the usual SFX Showdown and VGM SongFight segments, Quickfire News is reinstated, with all the usual clumsiness intact. Otherwise, Daisy gets a couple of barks in, and the SongFight moves in mysterious directions...This week's playlist:Gotta Gotta – Jay Tholen [Hypnospace Outlaw]Colder Than the Rest (Fre3zer) – Jay Tholen [Hypnospace Outlaw]Dreams of Love and Literature – Dan Salvato [Doki Doki Literature Club!]Smooth Operetta – Ian Livingstone [Boom Boom Rocket]Title Sequence – Robin Finck [Observation]Way to Go, Way to Die – Steve Collett [Crash ‘n' Burn]Theme – Steve Collett [CSR Racing]07 – Kenji Matsuo, Masashi Sugiyama and/or Ayako Yamaguchi [Rescue Shot]Pleasantly Understated Credit Sequence – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell and/or Michael Land [Sam & Max Hit the Road]Solving a Mystery – Martin Gwynn Jones and/or Martin P.

Unfortunately, Bethany's had to return to her homeland of Northern Ireland, so this is her second and final appearance - for now! In time, Bethany'll be back, and we'll continue on with more of my clumsy attempts at explaining VGM.Until then, this is a fun, chaotic show that sees us both slowly lose our faculties thanks to some intense heat. A playlist full of interesting tracks from a variety of systems keeps up the energy though, and it's been fantastic to share the show with Bethany.This week's playlist:Title – Pipe Smoker's Cough [Kid Chaos]Carrotus – Alexander Brandon, Robert A.

For Bethany Wilson's very first appearance as a Sound Test co-host, we sail through a playlist that (clumsily) provides a bit of a history lesson!As best as I can with wine, I try to explain some of the fundamentals of VGM and how it evolved. All the way, we hear some prime examples from a variety of chips, with a bit of an accidental concentration on the SNES. We also spend plenty of time in the modern era, and chat a bit about the use of licensed music and orchestras.So, all-in-all, this is a packed episode! But, the whole thing stays relaxed and fun, and it was wonderful to welcome Bethany onto the show.This week's playlist:Funk Goes On – Hidenori Shoji [Yakuza Kiwami]Final Fall – Jukio Kallio & Daniel Hagstrom [Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout]Title – Matt Furniss [Torvak the Warrior]Athletic – Koji Kondo [Super Mario Bros. 3]Section 1 BGM – Tim & Geoff Follin [Silver Surfer]Cavern – Tim & Geoff Follin [Plok]Staff Roll – Dean Evans [The Flintstones]Codis Mu VI – [Star Trek: The Next Generation – Future's Past]Goemon Impact! – Michiru Yamane [Ganbare Goemon 2 – Kitretsu Shogun Magginesu!]13 – Koji Hayama [Kaizou Chounin Shubibinman 3: Ikai no Princess]Credits – Shigehisa H. and/or Junichi Saito [Knight Rider Special]Stage Theme 4 – Hirohiko Takayama [Lemmings]Escape – Jaroslav Beck and Summer Haze [Beat Saber]Super Mario Galaxy – Mahito Yokota and/or Koji Kondo [Super Mario Galaxy]Halo – Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori [Halo]Corneria – Hajime Hirasawa [Star Fox]Bay City Disguised – Garry Schyman [Destroy All Humans! 2]The Waters Above – Vincent Diamante [Sky: Children of the Light]Mrs. Sadie Adler, Widow – Woody Jackson [Red Dead Redemption 2]Nick's Bass is OLD – TDK [Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown]MAIN THEME:Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo & Yasuake Iwata - World 8 [Super Mario 3D World]Requests and contact:https://twitter.com/GreenT128"The Sound Test" on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thesoundtest/Original episodes of The Sound Test LIVE, with Dale Fowler, are available through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/_secretcaveAlso available through:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcher

Along with all the old features, ST LIVE returns for its first fully-fledged broadcast in a month! Streamed from Shady's (and featuring him playing Lemmings for the YouTube version), this episode is a triumphant return to the manic, varied fun of the past. Within, you'll hear a whole new round of the SFX Showdown, another VGM SongFight chapter and one of the strongest playlists yet.It's good to be back!This week's playlist:Faze – Neil Voss [Tetrisphere]Last Surprise – Shoji Meguro & Lyn Inaizumi [Persona 5]Diving – Dean Evans [Waterworld]Eliminator – Jeroen Tel [Hints and Tips for Video Game Pioneers]Guiding Light Dub – Chip Tanaka [Domingo]Tree Top Village – Darren Mitchell [Turok: Dinosaur Hunter]Koopa Bros.

Due to not getting internet installed in my new home until August, I'm unable to stream LIVE shows until then! Instead, here's another remastered version of The Sound Test's second show of all time!This time, I speak an unbelievable amount of bollocks. There are parts of this episode that really make me cringe, but I think longtime listeners will enjoy hearing some of my naivety and growth as a VGM fan. Really, I was at the very beginning of my journey! In particular, I'm especially embarrassed about my totally misread pronunciation of "Clark Aboud" as "Clark Abound" - sorry Clark! Fortunately, after two interviews with the man himself, I think we're cool!Dale brings his usual unique perspective to the proceedings and, other than a few ignorant comments on my part, this is another great, relaxed evening with the two of us. All the chat aside, the playlist stays strong this week with a number of banging choices and odd gems side-by-side. However, it's worth mentioning that there are several tracks/games on this playlist that would later become repeated favourites of the show. Apologies for some of the replays!Previously, this episode was only available to patrons, but I've given it a clean up and posted it here ready for the usual stream time. Essentially, I've replaced the music with better quality rips and tweaked the volumes of our chat slightly.This week's playlist:C418 - Haunt Muskie [Minecraft]Norihiko Hibino & Cynthia Harrell - Snake Eater [Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]Hirokazu Tanaka & Masato Kouda - Humoresque of a Little Dog [Super Smash Bros.

Due to not getting internet installed in my new home until August, I'm unable to stream LIVE shows until then! Instead, here's a remastered version of The Sound Test's very first broadcast, featuring Dale Fowler.Previously, this episode was only available to patrons, but I've given it a clean up and posted it here ready for the usual stream time. Essentially, I've replaced the music with better quality rips and tweaked the volumes of our chat slightly.This show is a real relic, and a lot of fun to hear. There's quite a huge shift in tone compared to how I run The Sound Test LIVE now, but I think fans will really enjoy listening to our first - very casual - attempt at streaming music.

A third "Lee's busy moving house" castaway edition, in which things remain nice and chilled out for a short, peppy playlist. We check back in on music from ST2 Racing Special guests (after the premiere of my WipeOut BONUS), hear yet more from Chris Abbott and relax to several great choices and requests. For the pick of the week this week, though, Lee tells the story of "Puggs in Space", and how its music came to be used in Lemmings...This week's playlist:Messij - Bobbing Boat Version – CoLD SToRAGE [Chillout]D/Generation – TDK [D/Generation HD]Menu – Ian Livingstone [Ultimate Racing 2D]Jungle Gym – Steve Collett and Nick Stroud [Jelly Boy]Magical Sound Shower (from “Outrun”) – Chris Abbott (originally composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi) [Arcade Classics Vol. 1]Stage Theme 10 – Hiroshi Tsukamoto and/or Hirohiko Takayama (originally composed by Tim Wright) [Lemmings]The Red Woods – Matt Furniss [Puggsy]Migratory Bird of the Wilderness (Rudy's Theme) – Michiko Naruke [Wild Arms]The Last Gunfight – Clint Bajakian [Outlaws]Mining Melancholy – David Wise (restored by Jammin' Sam Miller) [Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]Wrinkly 64 – David Wise and Koji Kondo (restored by Jammin' Sam Miller) [Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]Fire Raid – Naoki Kodaka [Albert Odyssey]Brinstar Overgrown with Vegetation Area – Kenji Yamamoto and/or Minako Hamano [Super Metroid]Munch Remix – Michael Bross [Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee]MAIN THEME:Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo & Yasuake Iwata - World 8 [Super Mario 3D World]Requests and contact:https://twitter.com/GreenT128"The Sound Test" on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thesoundtest/Original episodes of The Sound Test LIVE, with Dale Fowler, are available through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/_secretcaveAlso available through:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcher

Another off-season, castaway episode! This time, Lee runs through a very snippy playlist, filled with absolute tunes.

An off-season, castaway episode in which Lee presents a number of updates about The Sound Test and his own personal life. Although the main point of this stream was to get out certain bits of news, its shorter playlist is nonetheless absolutely banging. From obscure 90s racing games to Mushroom Men and all sorts in between, this will hopefully satisfy longtime ST listeners who have been missing the show!This week's playlist:HK.Dance2 – SEGA SOUND TEAM [Shenmue II]01 – Ian Livingstone [F1 World Grand Prix: 1999]01 – Ian Livingstone [Global Touring Challenge Africa]The Amazon – Takane Okubo and/or Katsunari Kitajima [Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems]Glass House – Shawn Lee [Bully/Canis Canem Edit]Flash Flash Flash – Nobuyuki Ohnagi [Bosconian]Luigi's Mansion - Staff Roll – ConSoul (originally composed by Kazumi Totaka and/or Shinobu Tanaka)Final Fantasy VII - Tifa's Theme – ConSoul (originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu)Jump – Laura Shigihara [Rakuen]Forest's Requiem (Restored) – Cyanne (originally composed by Motoi Sakuraba) [Golden Sun]Onyx - Yr Araf Brechdan Version – CoLD SToRAGE [Chillout]Scratch Pad 1 – CoLD SToRAGE [Slipstream Volume Two]My Console – Eiffel 65 [Europop]Pigstep – Lena Raine [Minecraft: Nether Update]Amanitas/Mean Mr. Mushwoom – Les Claypool [Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars]MAIN THEME:Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo & Yasuake Iwata - World 8 [Super Mario 3D World]Requests and contact:https://twitter.com/GreenT128"The Sound Test" on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thesoundtest/Original episodes of The Sound Test LIVE, with Dale Fowler, are available through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/_secretcaveAlso available through:YouTubeSpotifyiTunesStitcher

For this season finale, Lee takes a look at some of his all-time favourite side scrolling beat 'em ups! Of course, the show is bolstered by an array of requests and other unrelated choices, which all come together to form a particularly bass-heavy playlist. The show will return with a fourth season on July 17th, 2020; allowing Lee to catch his breath and focus a little on ST2. Hopefully, this closing mix of VGM joy will satisfy until ST LIVE comes back!#DefundNewscopThis week's playlist:Title – David Wise [Battletoads]Dervish D (Multisid) – LMan (originally composed by Vangelis) [Commodore 64 Remix Classics - 80s Synth Hits, Vol. 1]Comets That Are Crazy – Hubbard & Donne [Hubbard ‘80]Thing on a Spring – Rob Hubbard [Commodore 64 Sid Anthology, Vol. 3]Echoes in My Mind – Mandrill [The Warriors]Saints of Rage - Stage 3 – Malcolm Kirby Jr [Saints Row IV]If You Dare – Megan McDuffee [River City Girls]ROUND 4 INDUSTRIAL AREA 2 ROUND 6 – Manami Matsumae, Yoshihiro Sakaguchi, Yasuaki Fujita, Hiromitsu Takaoaka, Yoko Shimomura, Junko Tamiya and/or Harumi Fujita [Final Fight]Moe's Tavern – Norio Hanzawa [The Simpsons]Kick ‘n' Punch – David Wise [Battletoads/Double Dragon]Cluffy Flouds 1 – TDK [CyberSpeed Unleashed]Northern Kremisphere (Restored) – Eveline Novakovic [Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]Thirty Seven After Six – Mike Morasky [Half-Life: Alyx]Deep Jungle – Yoko Shimomura [Kingdom Hearts]The Instinct – Robin Beanland [Killer Instinct]Mach Rider – Hideki Kanazashi and/or Hiroaki Suga [Super Smash Bros.

To follow on from last week's question about gaming's best playable animal characters, this show delves deep into the wild. With a whole host of choices from listeners, alongside Lee's personal top five, it turns out that there are a lot more iconic digital animals than you might think. There are so many, in fact, that most of the show's regular features are put to one side until next week. Aptly, Lee's dog, Daisy, prances onto the show for a cameo appearance, not best pleased at being left out of the conversation.This week's playlist:Black Dawn: Rebirth – Mike RichmondCluffy Flouds 2 – TDK [CyberSpeed Unleashed]Replay 01 – Ian Livingstone [F1 2014]After Burner (FM Towns) – Hiroshi Kawaguchi [After Burner]Main Theme – Fat Bard [Guinea Pig Parkour]Turtle Woods – Josh Mancell [Crash Bandicoot N.

This week's focus is the wonderful world of gaming robots! Throughout, Lee takes a look at various iconic playable androids and AI characters; presenting choices from listeners alongside personal picks.

Fatigue reigns heavy on our shoulders this week! Dale and I stumble our way through a very sleepy show, mostly discussing last week's question - what are some of your favourite gaming sequels?
