Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast Drew Mackie & TableCakes Productions

And here, in the spirit of the season, is the second of the two “lost” Patreon episodes. Unfortunately, while I was able to find the file, I was not able to find the description or tracklist, so this one will have to be a bit of a mystery. I can tell you this much: It is definitely a Halloween episode. It is two and a half hours long. And I think it’s all scary, Halloween-appropriate music from 16-bit titles. It’s “all music, no talk,” and it may be a “best of” of all the Halloween episodes I ever did on this podcast. Of course, I really can’t be sure.
What do you make of it?

Way back in the distant past, there existed a Singing Mountain Patreon, where I managed to toss up four Patreon-exclusive tracks. Then, I closed the Patreon, thinking the content would still be accessible. It wasn’! Horror of horrors! However, as time passed, I realized that I’d actually downloaded these episodes onto my desktop computer, and could still share them on the Singing Mountain account. And I did that! Specifically for two of them. But the other two were Halloween-themed episodes, and it just didn’t make much sense to me to drop them in a month that wasn’t October.
But guess what? It is October. And now you’re getting both. This first one is an “all music, no talk” version of Episode 110, which went live October 29, 2020, plus some extra tracks that didn’t make the cut.
Hally Happoween!

I know I said in the previous episode that there would not be another Singing Mountain winter VGM episode. I lied. This episode — a two-hour, ”all music, no talk” collection of 16-bit winter VGM — originally went live December 21, 2020 on the Singing Mountain Patreon. It has not been available since I took down the Patreon page, but now it’s posted for the public to enjoy.
Now *this* is the finale installment of the winter VGM series. 
As a thank you for everyone who has continued to support Singing Mountain in 2020, despite its lengthy hiatus, here is a special holiday gift: a two-hour "all music, no talk" megamix of every 16-bit example of winter VGM that I've ever played on the show.

Given that Christmas is upon us, you might be expecting a 2021 edition of Singing Mountain’s ice music episode. Unfortunately, it turns out I used all the tracks I collected in last year’s winter episode and so I decided to lean in a different direction. This is the third in a different series I’ve been calling Save Point — all atmospheric, calming music that to me makes me think of a safe place to be, in video games but also IRL, because this one is inspired by taking a shower on a cold winter day.
