Won't Get Fooled Again - Music Arcade #47

14-04-2023 • 1 hora 32 min

The MusArc crew, joined by friend of the show Sam "Zeral", decide to make lemonade from an April Fools' set of lemons. If you were curious about what we really thought of when prompted to think of video game music for themes such as "dreamy", "glass", "cute but ferocious", or... "purple", you got it!

From the Italian dreams of Civilization 6 and Assassin's Creed 2, to the glassy pianos of... more games than we thought possible, to be honest, we're in for quite the varied ride.

We also take a moment to pay our respects to the great late Lance Reddick, known to the world of gaming through the Destiny and Horizon franchises, may he rest in peace.

You can listen along to the music discussed here via the playlist on our YouTube channel: Music Arcade #47
