    Splatoon Series

    We hope you're fluent in Sploosh, as today Laura takes us swimming through the Splatoon series and all of its wild music and lore. Developed and published by Nintendo, and music composed by primarily by Toru Minegishi, Shiho Fujii. There's a lot to unpack, but the vibes are immaculate as in-game bands sing in a fictional language with all the passion and soul you'd expect from a world ravaged by ink wars by evolved marine life... Especially when having to battle mutated space bears as the last remaining mammals on the planet? Its best if you just dive in headfirst and enjoy the ride as the songs brought today are a real treat for all. Special guest Melissa joins us again today for squid kid discussions. You should follow her on YouTube @MissLissaDreams for cozy gaming times.

    Dancing Mad (from Final Fantasy VI)

    You thought we were done, son?! Dancing Mad (from Final Fantasy VI) takes us back for one more dip into the game we covered last week. Developed and published by Square, and music composed by Nobuo Uematsu. Our episode today primarily focuses on breaking down the 4 movements of this 17+ minute song in all its organ glory. This time the 1994 SNES JRPG classic goes to church and progs hard as you build your party up to attack and dethrone god, the ascended Kefka. Special guest Melissa joins us as she learns just how much she does not care for clowns by the end of the episode. Follow her on YouTube @MissLissaDreams , where it's significantly more cozy and significantly less menacing clown.  Join the BBB Discord @https://discord.gg/FEAYdbePt8Follow us on TikTok @beepsbopsandbeatsOr on BlueSky @BeepsBopsAndBeats Click here for a YT Playlist of today's featured tracks. ------------ (00:01) - Catastrophe (02:12) - (Talky Bits) (14:53) - First Movement, Dancing Mad (19:22) - (Talky Bits) (25:43) - Second Movement, Dancing Mad (29:07) - (Talky Bits) (37:06) - Third Movement, Dancing Mad (40:45) - (Talky Bits) (44:37) - Fourth Movement, Dancing Mad (50:42) - (Talky Bits) (01:03:56) - Kefka's Theme

    Final Fantasy VI

    Uh oh, it's another episode with Random Encounters turned on! Joshua braves the hotseat as he puts his mettle to the test with Final Fantasy VI. Developed and published by Square, and music composed by Nobuo Uematsu - This 1994 SNES JRPG classic offers some of the best music and most mature storytelling of the 16-bit era. The question is how well can Joshua link those two together as he's tested on how well he remembers the songs and when they play during the game after decades of play and love for an RPG filled with laughs, heartache, octopus, and trains needing to be suplexed. If you aren't familiar with the game, there's plenty of great music to listen to. If you are, step up to the plate and see if you can fare better than Joshua by the time all is said and done.

    Axiom Verge 2

    So we're back with Axiom Verge 2! Today Joshua walks us through this 2021 metroidvania prequel. As with Axiom Verge previous covered here, this game was developed, published, and composed by Thomas Happ. A lot of the similarities end there though as there's a heavy divergence from the heavy synythetic chiptunes with a whole new sound from Happ as Joshua supplies trip hop beats, melodic world music, and the beautiful vocals by Mayssa Karaa lending a bit of spirited life into the mix. A new direction in terms of game and music, it largely remains somehow perfectly aligned with the magic Happ composed before. [Around the 1:00:00 mark we experience a bit of microphone shenanigans for Laura and Chris. We tried to correct it in post to the best of our ability, but apologies for the wonkiness ahead of time!] Join the BBB Discord @https://discord.gg/FEAYdbePt8Follow us on TikTok @beepsbopsandbeatsOr on BlueSky @BeepsBopsAndBeatsContact us @ BeepsBopsAndBeats@gmail.com Click here for a YT Playlist of today's featured tracks. ------------ (00:01) - Omni (04:49) - (Talky Bits) (17:31) - Indra's Discovery (21:36) - (Talky Bits) (26:49) - Silver Pipes (feat.

    Secret of Mana

    SNES JRPG royalty comes barreling back to Beeps Bops and Beats as Chris brings us Secret of Mana, a 1994 action-RPG developed and published SquareSoft. Composed by Hiroki Kikuta, this beloved entry in the Mana series was the first to land in the US with its own moniker while enthralling a generation with the promise of high adventure. Ancient sorcerers, flying on dragons, finding legendary weapons, and saving the world from total annihilation. Everything one could ask for in a (mostly) child friend story supported by some of the most evocative and original music available on the SNES in its heyday. Spooky tunes, aggressive boss music, and music full of longing and hope. Really there's something in here for everyone.
