Comments on: 11 - Of Megas and Men http://intothescore.blueandbrownbooks.com/2007/09/02/11-of-megas-and-men/ the only podcast solely dedicated to the academic study of videogame music! Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:56:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Maelkashishi http://intothescore.blueandbrownbooks.com/2007/09/02/11-of-megas-and-men/#comment-420 Maelkashishi Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:47:44 +0000 http://intothescore.blueandbrownbooks.com/2007/09/02/11-of-megas-and-men/#comment-420 Is it true that the composers used (or were forced to use) these pseudonyms just not to be snatched away? It seems plausible, even though I would have thought that the musicians would not want to be associated with composing "mere" vgm. A related trend is composers such as Shimomura, Uematsu and Sakimoto to become "freelance", but then compose for their original companies or franchises. What is _that_ all about- and is there a connection? Some remarks on the sound hit the spot, but I'd care to know the context: is there source on how this old music works and is transformed from composition to catridge/cd? In this episode, I found the trivia part to be a bit odd details. I know it has become commonplace to let some of it slip, but what exactly does the point of fighting rockman 2 bosses with rockman 3 weapons have to do with anything, or the fig leaf story they provide? Don't take it rude, it just felt in retrospect, this fills the episode up a little which missed the interview... Still, many fine things to be heard here.

Not sure why I would've deleted it, but it's gone :( sorry! Hey adamzap,
