Super Rainwave Podcast Tom Helmuth and Nat

Tom and Nat invite guest Rob onto the show to discuss car racing games! Rob, the founder of Rainwave, adds a lot of nice details about racing games that he's played. We stick to car racing, not playing any kart racing games or other types of racing games. Download MP3  Tracklist coming soon.

You beat the game! As you celebrate, music plays as the staff rolls. Many times these songs are calm and happy, though exceptions abound.

We celebrate the 20th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country by listening to tracks from throughout the DKC series. Tom and Nat are joined by Jon Funk, the resident statistician/mad scientist of the Rainwave forums, who picks some excellent tracks. Tom and Nat admit some potentially unpopular opinions about DKC's music, yet we all ended up enjoying the music that was played! Note: Jon's mic was unfortunately muffled, making his voice sometimes hard to hear.

Like a boss! This episode's music, that is. We listen to a lot of rock and orchestral tracks from boss levels, with soaring guitars and epic strings. There are some surprises in here as well, tracks that don't fit the boss music stereotype at all.

In episode 16 we focus on Cave Story, the wonderful indie game created and composed by Daisuke Amaya, who goes by the pseudonym Pixel. This game has a gem of a chiptune soundtrack that has inspired many remixes and rearrangements.
