In terms of hours listened, video game music probably wins for every generation that came of age with a game console in the house. It's no surprise then that new artists use video game music as a starting point for their work - not merely remixing or imitating but building upon it. On this episode we listen to two fantastic video game inspired albums and discuss our own experiences with video game soundtracks. Stay Awhile and Listen!
