February was full of excellent and diverse releases. Metroid, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Kirby, Gimmick!, Starcraft and FTL are some of the games and franchises we will listen to on this episode. In a variety of styles, such as drum & bass, acoustic, metal and post-rock.
We start off with electronic music and some Metroid tracks, since for our opening theme Makoto wanted us to properly represent her epic Metroid Dread picture. We’ll hear a cover by Sam Dillard that blends two aquatic themes in his usual cinematic style.
Our OverClockedRemix segment helps us transition into the musical universe of Square Enix, to then listen to Shea’s Violin timely and emotional tribute, titled “Liminal Echoes: A String Tribute to Chrono Trigger”. That’s right, our “album of the month” is dedicated to one of the best JRPGs of all time, which recently had it’s 30th anniversary.
On top of all that, we’ll also have a sample from albums by many artists, bands and labels. And as usual, you’ll get our recommendations from the Dwelling of Duels competition.
