Enjoy memories and discussion, a game, chats with a couple of very special guests, segments from the fam, and much more! Thank you to everyone who has supported the show over the past ten amazing years. Here's to the next chapter!

This week, I’m doing my own celebration of Falcom turning 40 years old by sharing one of my favrotie 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 peak into why I love Falcom Sound Team jdk so damn much. […]

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 […]

This episode is about the game Undertale. In this episode of the luxury of video game music we go over the music from Undertale and it's creator. Host: Matteo C

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 […]

This episode is about Nintendo music. We will go over a lot of things about Nintendo. Host: Matteo

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 […]

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 […]

Once again, I’m forced to pick a favorite. Instead of covering the remake for the PC Engine Super CD or the original PC-88 version, I decided to go with what I feel is the strongest version of the soundtrack of Valis: The Fantasm Soldier. In doing so, I’m also trying to dispel the myth that […]

This week on the show we're joined by video game and video game father enthusiast Bedroth! Bedroth co-hosts the most excellent podcast "Very Good Music a Video Game Music Podcast". We talk about great food, the destruction of the cosmos, and Haggar's reelection campaign for Metro City: "A Chicken in Every Trash Can!"

I don’t want to lean too heavily on Falcom Sound Team jdk on this podcast. Instead of doing that, why not just find stuff that sounds like it could be something from them? In all seriousness, you can be forgiven for hearing this and thinking that someone who at least had a brief stint at […]

This week, I’m going back to doing a comparison. We’re going to compare the Super Mario Land soundtrack to the Super Mario Land Arranged album. Hip Tanaka was Super Mario Land’s composer and Ikuro Fugiwara and the “Mario Freaks Orchestra” handled the arranged album. It’s a fun album full of a variety of sounds. Support […]

This week, I’m joined by Alex Messenger from A VGM Journey to listen to some oddballs. We each picked six songs that didn’t really fit. I went with stuff that didn’t fit with the game in general that track was in. Alex went more with stuff that didn’t fit the rest of the soundtrack. It’s […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

400 episodes!! Can you believe it!? Karl, Will, Marty, Carlos, Stephen & Bryan celebrate this huge milestone for the Super Marcato Bros. Video Game Music Podcast, with a very special, nostalgic and fun episode! Enjoy this celebration, and thank you for helping us get this far!!

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Want a little taste of the Rock Out With Your Cart Out bonus episodes? I’ll post a few minutes of them in the regular feed so you have a chance to see what you’re missing out by not backing us on Patreon! Dominic Chavez needed a break for a project he’s workin on, so Jason […]

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 […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are checking out the soundtrack for Pokémon Trading Card Game. Don’t go in expecting a rehashing of the themes found in the main series! 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 […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take a listen to the SNES version of U.N. Squadron and the arcade version of Area 88. They’re effectively the same game, but with different hardware comes different sounds, so we do some comparisons as well as listen to some individual tracks. The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was composed by chibi-tech and our […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez gush about the recently released album by Julia Henderson, “Between Earth and Sky”. It’s an absolutely lovely tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda’s work in Chrono Trigger and definitely worth purchasing if you’re a fan of that soundtrack. The ROWYCO theme song, “Kaze Fuma”, was composed by chibi-tech and our logo was designed by Melissa Diaz. Like […]

Welcome to Mighty Morphin May! Every week this month, Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are going to be picking games based on the Power Rangers. We’re not just covering the “Mighty Morphin” era, but Mighty Morphin May has a nice ring to it, so we hope you can forgive us that technicality! As promised (now two episodes in a row), […]

We’re not just covering the “Mighty Morphin” era, but Mighty Morphin May has a nice ring to it, so we hope you can forgive us that technicality! Up first, we’re covering the Super […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are going guns blazin’ for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of Midnight Resistance. Neither one of us has ever played the game itself, but, after checking the large number of ports Midnight Resistance received, we decided on this version. The soundtrack is a testament to how good music on the Genesis can be […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are covering another shooter. This time, it’s not rail-type. No, we’re going with one of the most-respected and well-know vertical shooters ever made – Ikaruga. Hiroshi Iuchi was the composer for this one and, much like Star Fox’s composer Hajime Hirasawa, this would be his last credit for composing. In […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez get back to a slightly less ambitious project. This episode, we’re talkin’ Star Fox’s hit-or-miss soundtrack. Rather than cover any low points, we stick to highlighting what we feel are strongest compositions in the game. This wasn’t Hajime Hirasawa’s only work. It was not only the first major work he […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take their first dive into the music of Tim Follin. Tim is a bit of a legend for some of his work with the NES, but we decided to take a look at one of his less-celebrated soundtracks. Pictionary is, admittedly, a bit of a strange place to start, but I think as […]
