    “The Last Wave” After Dark – Realize: Panorama Luminary (9/22/21)

    That's right, your eyes aren't deceiving you - this is, in fact, an episode of After Dark, our Patreon exclusive show. Because I figured, why not let the people take a sample from the candy jar? It's my wife's birthday, I'm feeling generous. For this episode, originally released on September 22, 2021, we headed to the Playstation 2 for some visual novel goodness in Realize: Panorama Luminary, with a fantastic soundtrack by M.S, Manack, OdiakeS, and Shinji Orito. Get ready to vibe the heck out! And if you like what you hear, please consider subscribing here!

ryansc0tt ,

Is this the best aural experience available on the Internet?

Possibly. I mean, who can say? But KVGM is just about the smoothest thing that has ever slid into these two ear holes. And that's saying something! Get ready for the chillest VGM deep cuts, peppered with the most rhetorical of questions posed by the mellowest of hosts.

Tekroiz ,

Super cool

A lot of obscure hidden gems in this for VGM, really underrated. Discovering this almost feels like finding a secret room in a video game.

Pete Grüble ,

Can‘t go wrong.

Always a good listen, whether you’re home on a Sunday morning, or driving down the coast.
