Hey everyone, Wow, two posts in just a few days! A big change from three months ago! In which case, it’s been a pretty interesting day in the history of video game music, so I want to put in my two cents about “Kind of Bloop,” a chiptune remix of Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue,” considered one of the greatest classic jazz albums ever… also, one of my favourites. Furthermore, there’s been some knock on Sam Ascher-Weiss, aka “Shnabubula” and there’s some severely bad journalism going on there that, I believe, needs to be rectified right now. I do hope that you enjoy this and chime in on this issue, because it’s important! It’s important to look objectively and critically at the news because I’m sure that this type of thing happens more than one would expect… Also, please download “Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption” from OCReMix.org because there are a lot of people who have worked really hard on it and it is a TERRIFIC compilation - please support their work! … Oh, and VGDJ is back up! Yeah! Super excited about that!
Thanks everyone for their continued support!

Hey all,
After an unbelievable absence, there is a return… things are going to return to normal. Everything is okay, just being swamped, studios getting swamped and especially comments on the board that have really gotten me thinking - which I think is awesome. It’s important for the listeners to be critical and to put in their own ideas, because that’s part of being a good citizen, as well as a good listener 
It’s coming back - “Dragon Quest VIII” is coming up and hopefully, you’ll get to hear it within two or three weeks!
My thanks,
Kenley
Good evening, listeners! While Manitoba may be hit with a torrent of snow, thaw (and subsequent flooding), the March episode of “Into the Score” is finally up, focusing on Takeharu Ishimoto’s dynamic score to the 2008 release of Square Enix’s “Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.” In this episode, we focus on the music from the game, the legacy of Final Fantasy VII and it’s compilation titles, with Crisis Core receiving particular focus. Musically, we’re going to to work on thematic material from the game, remixing, the string quartet and Ishimoto’s departure from traditional “Final Fantasy” orchestration while still staying to musically true to the series.
We ALSO have two sets of guests for this episode! Our first set are two of the higher-ups from VGM remixing community, OverClocked ReMix! To speak about remixing and OCR’s place in the VGM environment, we have founder and head of submissions, David W. Lloyd (”djpretzel”) and Larry Oji (”liontamer”), respectively.
For a roundtable to discussion to cap off this month’s show, we have Kyle Wynen and Laren McFadden from the FXN Final Fantasy XIII podcast. This discussion is insightful, exciting and musical, to say the least!
We have a great show this month, make sure not to miss it!

Welcome to March, listeners! After a three-month hiatus, “Into the Score” is back on the town and we are ready to go! This month, we study the Sony sound team’s 2005 score to “God of War” for the PlayStation 2, as well as studying the beginning of Western tuning, the work of Pythagoras, as well as orchestration and thematic use in the game’s score!
Thanks for listening and for your patience! Enjoy!
