Welcome to season 5 of the Broken Chair Scores soundtrack podcast. This is the season where we're probably going to go viral. Did you see that we're on Instagram now? Follow us there via this link or find it on our landing page. We're cool now! Tell your friends about it. In this episode we play tracks by Maxime Lacoste-Lebuis from the 2020 video game Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games as well as some selections by various composers (mostly Vangelis though) from the 1980 PBS television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (the Carl Sagan one). There are 40 years between these productions but they have one thing in common (and I'll borrow a phrase from Episode 39 here): They are totally mellowed out! Look no further if you need to calm down and want to find some chill tracks to relax! If you want to support us you can always write a comment here or on Instagram (where we totally are now since we're cool and all) which would be highly appreciated. If you're interested in a more relaxed podcast about mostly (city-) building game soundtracks for the PC (think Anno, Settlers, Tycoons from the 90's and onwards) then check out Aufbaumusik. Enjoy this episode and please give us feedback!

This is 2023 and I'm having some time on my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. This means re-inserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some s****y PC speakers. I went into the master and put the tracks in properly. I also tweaked some other parameters of the audio and converted it to mono as should always be the case for podcasts. The original ep was uploaded in 2015. Here is the original description: Broken Chair Scores Episode 6 is the best episode so far. Believe me. We deliver a concise and kind of bizarre one hour and thirty minutes of soundtrack goodness. [Update from 2023: It's 2 hours now due to including the tracks in proper quality as well as the voice-over ones.] As always we review our favorite tracks from one film and one game soundtrack. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 1995 Sega game "Alien Soldier" written by Kazuo Hanzawa as well as the soundtrack to the 2003 Peter Weir Film "Master and Commander" written by Richard Tognetti, Iva Davies and Christopher Gordon.

This is episode 40 which marks the end of season 4 of the Broken Chair Scores podcast. Instead of having the quiz we just play our 5 (actually 6) favorite tracks each from episodes 31 to 39. For reasons concerning this change, listen to the episode. We talk about it on the air. If you want to support us you can always write a comment here which would be highly appreciated.

The second post-Covid live and on-site recording felt just as great as the first one! Join us as we dive deep into the magical world of Outcast, the 1999 Infogrames video game with a soundtrack written by Lennie Moore. This is interlaced with the absolute banger score of Neon Genesis Evangelion from the 1995 Gainax Japanese television anime program directed by Hideaki Anno which was composed by Shiro Sagisu. This is also the episode that brings you the phrase "to mellow out" which should definitely be used more often.

This is 2023 and for whatever reason I'm having some time at my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. This means re-inserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some s****y PC speakers. I went into the master and put the tracks in properly. I also tweaked some other parameters of the audio and converted it to mono as should always be the case for podcasts. The original ep was uploaded in 2015. For this one in particular I'd like to mention that the new show is longer than the original cut because I included the tracks in their entirety without voice-over first before following this up with the version from the original recording since we apparently used to talk over the music in 2015 which was dropped in later episodes and I wanted to present both the original track in pure form and the voice-over one. Here is the original description: Broken Chair Scores Episode 7 is us paying tribute to the recently deceased James Horner. He was one of the three masters of my personal film music history (Jerry and John being the other two Js). He gave us so many awesome soundtracks. I'm actually really sad that he is no longer with us and there won't be new material. May he rest in peace. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 1997 James Cameron film "Titanic" as well as the soundtrack to the 1995 Joe Johnston film "Jumanji". We chose Titanic because it is super well known and just a great example of James' potential when it gets emotional. I went for Jumanji because it was one of my first and most listened to soundtracks when I was a child so I have some very personal emotional bond to this score.

Live and on-site! We sat together in the same room for the first time since February 2020 (that was episode 30 which does not sound too far away but since this show moves at tectonic rates of 3 eps per year it was actually 3 years ago!). And of course it was great and there was some physical contact and I think you can hear it (the good vides, not the touching). During the show I felt like asking you (the listeners) a bunch of questions along the lines of "should I drink more or less during the show?" and "how do you feel about my pussillanimous move to bleep out the c-word in ep. 37" but the most important question is the following: "What do you love about the show?" and I still stand by this one. Please write us via mail or (even better) comment on the page with your answers. Soundwise this one is rock solid since we present the killer John Powell score to the 2010 animated DreamWorks film How to Train Your Dragon and the equally badass Samurai Shodown video game score from the 2019 reboot by SNK with tracks composed by one or several of the following group: Hiroshi Yamazoe, Masato Horiuchi, Hideki Asanaka, Mayuko Hino, Naoki Kita, Minori Sasaki, Kensuke Inage, Jun Hoshina. Also at one point rather towards the end the Kaptain mentioned this cover version of the Castlevania 3 score which is really great. Enjoy this episode and please give us feedback!
