Broken Chair Scores

Hi I'm abusing the Broken Chair Scores channel to promote a new solo project that I was forced to begin since SOMEone decided to turn his life around and go back to university in a different city. This by no means has to be the end of the BCS but it means that particularly in the beginning of this new phase there might be some delays when it comes to new episodes. Meanwhile I took matters into my own hands and created a spinnoff project that is pretty similar to the BCS albeit with some important changes: the new show presents a bunch of tracks with some commentary in between AND during the songs it's video game music only it's games from a particular genre only (city-builders, management simulations, (real-time) strategy games across all plattforms) the style of the music as well as the commentary is very reduced as opposed to the overly enthusiastic and engaging conversations we tend to have at the BCS (think BCS episode 14 but even smoother)) the tracks play back to back and only once each the comment

Second upload in one month. Just sayin'. This episode is basically one big fashion advice column disguised as a podcast on soundtracks. We're talking colours, patterns, the lot. After 26 episodes of ramp-up we are following our true calling and giving fashion advice like your basic insta-bitch. In the background of all the fashion there is some talk about the soundtrack to the 2002 Square video game "Unlimited Saga" for the Playstation 2 composed by Masashi Hamauzu. The Kap brings music from the film "Oldboy" by Park Chan-wook with a soundtrack written by composer Cho Young-wuk. This one came out just the following year, i.e. in 2003. Enjoy!

Sooo eventually the Kaptain edited an episode. It sure is dope. Let's see, we got Kap bringing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds", a 2003 video game for PS2, XBOX and GameCube developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software with a soundtrack by Ian Livingstone. On the other hand there is Melee Markus with some tracks from "The Fountain", a 2006 Sci-Fi flick by Darren Aronofsky scored by his go-to guy Clint Mansell. Oh and just by the way, this is our first real episode without Apeshit Andy. He is missed dearly. As we said in the episode, if you wanna drop a note on the editing or anything, we'd appreciate it. Enjoy!

This one is very special and dear to my heart since it is the one where Apeshit Andy says Goodbye. As always in the middle of a season each of us plays a bunch of tracks that fall into either of the following categories: cover/remix (that's the one that's apparently fairly easy to grasp) OR: "one hit wonders" (according to my definition). This one on the other hand seems to be a neverending source of misunderstanding and headache. To reiterate: "what we actually meant by that in the context of this show is this: tracks that are superb on otherwise rubbish or at least boring albums". Enjoy!

Melee Markus is kinda sick so he let Apeshit Andy and Krazy Kaptain Khalid take center stage. This turned out to be a very good idea since both of them are pros. Also, there is a gut-wrenching twist at the end! Listen how the Kaptain brings you the sweet sounds of the score to the Konami game "Super Castlevania IV" for the SNES composed by Masanori Adachi and Taro Kudo. Apeshit on the other hand casually drops a neat score-bomb in the form of Buzz Kulik's "Around the world in 80 days" by Billy Goldenberg. Enjoy!
