LMH Mixtape #214: Virgin
This mixtape has a lot to offer, starting with a classic high-energy shoot-them-up track from the arcade game Saint Dragon. "Be Your Age! (Area 3)" from Viewpoint is playful and quirky while also being really catchy. That is followed immediately by "Altar of Dreams" from Hani in the Sky which features an instrument that sounds a lot like an office telephone ringing, yet somehow fits

Grab your favorite jersey, because the LMH boizz are back again for the fifth installment of the topic that keeps on giving... Sports!

Customer Reviews
The best, most comprehensive, videogame music podcast… EVER
This is one of the best VGM podcasts out there. No substitutes. Brent and Rob are hilarious and Gabe is an insightful wealth of knowledge.
The mixtapes are also great for random activities and I’ve used them more than a few times on runs or working out.
You can’t go wrong, ding dong. Listen to LMH!
Easy to jump in, and so rewarding to explore old episodes
A wealth of an audio catalog of mixtapes and highly informed and entertaining discussion. I’m a new listener. The deeper I dive into the years of old eps, the more I appreciate these cool people for their efforts. As a retro gamer and musician, this is priceless!
Much love for Brent, RFS, Gabe
These guys combine deep retrogaming experience with the most easygoing and unforced chemistry you can imagine. The tunes themselves are well chosen and are often hypnotic and poetic in equal measure. But I listen for the comedy content. Recommend the episode "Creed II" if you're looking for a good jumping on point.
