Rhythm and Pixels 
Yeah, I really did enjoy that Western District track “Second Effort”! My favorite track from Shining Wisdom probably has to be “And Then…” mainly because of how chill and sobering it is. I never played the game myself, although I always do want to someday! You guys had brought up the graphics in Shining Wisdom being odd, that is partly because it was designed as a Genesis game originally, before it shifted to Saturn late in development. Pernell, I’m glad to hear that my suggestion got you to dig up your Saturn again! (A word of advice, make sure to get an Action Replay Plus for that thing)
Also Rob, you definitely need to check out some more Neo Geo stuff, since it has a great amount of cool sounding music! It uses the Yamaha YM2610 for audio, which is a mix of FM and sampled PCM audio! I also recommend checking out the Neo Geo CD versions of some soundtracks as those tend to have arranged studio versions of the chiptune AES/MVS music!
Anyway, sorry about the confusion with the names (they’re both me :P) Hopefully I had that sorted out!
I’m excited to hear that Football episode when it comes out!
