Artists to Look Out for: Technodrome

Get ready to rock out to one of the newer VGM cover bands from Melbourne, Australia: Technodrome. If you expected a modest rendition of Mario and Zelda with some distortion, and maybe a good Pokemon cover to top it off. Well… you got it! But that would be understating these guys, so I’ll not only pull up their videos from youtube, but I’ll even give you an interview to show you all they have to offer.

Stand Out Game Introductions

Well today I was playing an online Video Game Music quiz and I happened upon the opening theme of Cannon Fodder. I’ll just say that I had no idea what was coming there, it starts out with ska chords and goes into “♫ War, never been so much fun…♫” So for the focus of this article I will talk about some attention grabbing intros.  Not all of them need take the Cannon Fodder approach but all of them have some quality that makes them unforgettable.

Top 10 Classic Soundtracks of 2008

Well I’ve decided that every year I’ll make a top 10 soundtrack list, and with the new year being 10 days away, I can knock off one a day. The cutoff for this list is the Dreamcast/N64/PSx line so when I don’t include KH2, Katamari Damacy, or Shadow of the Colossus, it’s only because I I can’t. So not long from now, I will announce our number 10. Stay tuned.
