Electric Underground Podcast Intermission Music Reference Guide:

Hi everyone, if case you were curious about the identities of the tracks that I use in the podcast episodes. Here is a reference guide I put together. I actually can't remember a few of the episode 3 tracks right now, but I'll figure them out soon enough and fill them in later.

Episode I

1st song: from Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou
Track = Colorful Rainbow
2nd song: continuation of Colorful Rainbow

Episode II

1st song: From Life Force
Track = Planet Latis
2nd song: From David’s (the guest’s) original game.
3rd song: From Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou
Track = Strange Dance
4th song: From Axelay
Track = The Moment of Rest

Episode III

1st song: From Art of Fighting (snes)
Track = Lee’s Stage
2nd song : No idea, I forgot where I got that song.
3nd Song: From Mushihimesama
Track = Like a Night of Falling Stars
4th song: Again, I have no idea. I deleted the music files to cut down on clutter.
I’m sure someone on the forums knows what it is.
5th song: From Thunder Force IV
Track = Light of Silence

Episode IV

1st song: From Battle Garegga
Track = Fly to the Leaden Sky (ERM Remix). Actually remixed by Eaglet, the guest of the episode.
2nd song: From Street Fighter 3, 3rd Strike
Track = Dudley’s Stage
3rd song: From Axelay
Track = Silence
4th song: From Chrono Trigger
Track = An awesome drum cover of Secret of the Forest

Episode V


1st song: From Metroid Prime
Track = Metroid Metal cover of Phendora Drifts
2nd song: From Thunderforce IV
Track = Great cover of Metal Squad
3rd song: From Fire Emblem
Track = metal cover of Together We Ride
4th song: From Clayfighter
Track = Clayfighter
5th song: From Ecophony Rinne
Track = Last part of the album (the album doesn’t really have specific tracks).

This week's episode I speak with EX Mosquito, a UK shmup fan who runs a badass YouTube channel and owns a Sega Astro City. EX also clears up some PAL misconceptions for us in the land of NTSC. We talk groovey mame, Street Fighter II, PCB Collecting, and everything in-between.

Here is the link to EX Mosquito's YouTube channel:

P.S. The original image I used for the basis of the cover art is by Tarrow100, a japanese artist that I asked permission to use the image from around two years ago. I then redesigned the color and added the other stuff. Here's the link to the original image, in case you were curious and wanted to compare them. https://www.deviantart.com/art/AXELAY-T ... -510972784

This week's episode I had the privilege of speaking with Cloudy Music, also known as Keres on the forums, about shmup streaming, shmup design, and widening the shmup audience. I was also inspired by this interview to upgrade my audio equipment by ordering a Blue Yeti Mic, so you can thank Cloudy for the improved audio quality of future episodes.

I'm enjoying the podcasts Mark MSX! Any chance you could keep posting the episodes on the Google Drive since I can't listen to the soundcloud offline without a subscription?

You got it man! I have it uploaded to the Google Drive now. I'll also return the link to the drive to the posting. Thanks for letting me know people use the drive, I had assumed no one was using it. I'll keep it going from now on, I promise :-)

I am glad to hear you are enjoying the podcast! It would be awesome of you to go back and check out the prior episodes, I think you'll enjoy them for sure. Just keep in mind that the first two episodes have what I would like to call a low-fi charm, haha. As I was pretty inexperienced and still figuring out my recording methods.

This week I am joined by two guests, Eaglet and Plasmo! We discuss their Battle Garegga Demonstrations, the EXA Arcadia hardware, and everything in between. If you want details about Shmups at Stunfest, this episode is a juicy t-bone steak :-)

Here is a link to an excellent thread by Usane that has links to all the Stunfest Vods:

Hey man! Thanks for the heads up. I've tried the sound cloud link from a number of different devices and it seems to be working ok. But who knows, maybe soundcloud is having some other issues I'm not aware of.

Do you mind trying again and seeing if it will work for you now? Maybe it was a server issue or something.

If not, here is a link to the track from soundcloud, maybe this will work better for you.

Glad the google drive works as a backup at least.

Sorry for the issue man.

Cheers,

Mark

No worries. It's probably a regional issue.

On this week's episode my inner fanboy gets the opportunity to sit down and chat with Jaimers, a man (or possibly machine) with a cornucopia of excellent high scores and replays. We talk about his process of learning games, his trip to stunfest, his thoughts on the Dodonpachi series, the Sega Saturn pad, M2, and the future of shmups.

Check out his twitch:

If there's such a thing as a non-TAS machine, then count me as another vote.

I like stage 3 as well! Though I can see how it could get tiring. Especially the part with the ships that shoot all the needles. Stage 3 boss is one of my favorites though.

Great show! Been listening to a few selected episodes.

What's the final song of episode 9? Loved it.

Edit: Started listening to The Frame Savers after Electric Underground. Cool that you sponsored it! Hopefully you get some more exposure via this.

That's awesome man! Thanks so much for listening, hope you've been enjoying the episodes. Maybe after listening to a few more episodes I can get you hooked on all of them haha ;-). The frame savers were really awesome for helping to promote the show.

The song at the end of EP 9 is called the Coffee Zone by Fearofdark. Please, check out his stuff because, in my opinion, he is the best chiptune artist around and is hidden gem. I strongly recommend all of his work, and especially his album the Coffee Zone. Here is a link to his bandcamp.

That album was ridiculously good. Just purchased it. Thanks for the tip! The music on the show has been excellent so far, especially with remixes and non-game tracks, so hope you keep that up!
