I loved Aquaria, and I agree that this is one of the best perusals yet! It's great fun to have you help us develop an appreciation for the theory as well as the form of music while we listen. We'll miss you for the next month, but be assured that we'll be looking forward to your next installment. Just wanted to drop in and say thanks, Kenley, for all the great episodes.

The game and all its music was done by one man, which shows a lot of talent. The music is just fantastic and would be ideal for analysis on this podcast. Certain themes run throughout several pieces, arranged differently to suit what is currently happening in the game and overall story. There is also a character in the game called "Jenka" whose theme is a well-known folk tune from Finland ("Letka Jenka"). I only know this from living in Finland, but I wonder how the guy who made the game and music got to know this, and why it was included. Anyway, without writing the episode for you, I hope you'll choose to focus on "Cave Story" on your podcast soon. I would definitely suggest “Cave Story”.

It's important to pick up scores from some indie and underground games, because sometimes there's magic :) I fell in love with Aquaria and I hope that you pick it up, it's like "Super Metroid" underwater and is a gloriously engaging game. ALSO, the soundtrack is SO beautiful! I think that the game is only $30 (maybe $40), but it's really worth it! Also, I haven't played "Cave Story," but I've heard that it's terrific - should I pick it up? Again, thanks for your kind words! Atreus - I'm glad that you found your way over here! Thanks for listening and please feel free to comment on further posts! Cheers, team! Talk soon! Kenley Hey guys, thanks for the compliments!

I think it's partially because my first reaction was to be a little disgruntled that you chose some game I'd never heard of as the subject - but I was surprised and delighted as you played the music, picked out the common themes, and interviewed Alec. Not only does this episode show off your show at its best, but I'm likely going to go get a copy of Aquaria now - I mean, the OST if nothing else! I haven't played it a while, but I wonder if Cave Story would be a good subject, if you'd like to do another indie game? Anyway, keep it up, KK, this is a podcast worth waiting for! - m a t t Maybe it’s a case of “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” but I think this is one of my favorite Into The Score episodes.
