Episode 26

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!

Episode 25 - Special: One Hit Wonders

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!

Episode 24

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!

Episode 23

This is episode 23 which is also sort of a tribute to J.S. Bach. The influence is strong. Anyways, we dive into the 4 or 5 tracks that make the "Dancing Mad" sequence by Nobuo Uematsu from the videogame "Final Fantasy VI" for the SNES by Square Enix. On the film-side of things we present exactly 5 or 6 tracks from the soundtrack to the 1984 film "Dune" by David Lynch which was basically written by Toto, a band.


Enjoy!

Episode 22

This is episode 22 where we present basically two times the same soundtrack. "Flower" by Vincent Diamante to the 2009 videogame of the same title by Thatgamecompany has many similarities to the Basil Paledouris score to the 1982 John Milius film "Conan the Barbarian". Trust me on this one. They are brothers from anther mother. Just listen to the show and you'll get it.


Enjoy!

Episode 21

In episode 21 of the Broken Chair Scores we present the Wojciech Kilar score to the 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula" by Francis Ford Coppola as well as the soundtrack to the System 3 video game "Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance" from 1988 composed by Matt Gray. We drink red wine on this occasion and Melee Markus shares how he almost got to be an alcoholic because of this score (sort of). We strongly advise that you drink along so that you can relate to the hosts in a more intimate way.


Enjoy!

Xmas Special 2018

This is our first Christmas Special. We planned to do one in 2017 but it somehow didn't work out. Since it's only 3 tracks I'm not going to describe them here. Surprise yourself and of course have yourself a merry little christmas 2018!

Enjoy!

Episode 20 - The Quiz

This is our end-of-season-two-quiz-episode-extravaganza! Enjoy us failing to recognize even the most obvious tracks. Marvel at our incompetence when attributing composers to albums. Bask in our shame when we mix up things that have never been mistaken for each other before! Obviously I'm not gonna mention what we are playing in this episode since that would take all the fun from those of you who would like to quiz along.

Enjoy!

Episode 11 - Remastered Version

This is the 2018 remastered version of episode 11 where we for some weird reason played 7 tracks each although we were already convinced that 5 is the way to go. Anyway, here is the original description:


Broken Chair Scores Episode 11 is the first episode recorded in 2016. There was kind of a longish break in between the quiz episode and this one. Thus we take a long time to catch up and talk about all kinds of things. Sorry for the longer duration of the show. But then, if you listen to the show you probably like / can at least stand the discussions and off-topic speculations so you might even enjoy the longer running time. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 2007 IO Interactive game "Hitman Blood Money" written by Jesper Kyd as well as the soundtrack to the 2001 Stephen Sommers film "The Mummy Returns" written by Alan Silvestri.

Enjoy!

Episode 19

In episode 19 of the Broken Chair Scores we present the Angelo Badalamenti score to the 1990 TV series Twin Peaks by Mark Frost and David Lynch as well as the second set of tracks from the soundtrack to the Cavia video game "Nier" from 2010 composed by Keiichi Okabe, Kakeru Ishihama, Keigo Hoashi, and Takafumi Nishimura. We had to go back to this score since it contains so much great music that one episode of 5 tracks just weren't enough. Also this is the first episode only featuring Krazy Kaptain Khalid and Melee Markus. Apeshit Andy was absent and he is missed dearly.
