Welcome to our podcast about our favourite videogame music - Sound of Play.

For many of us, it’s hard to think of almost any videogame without our minds conjuring up the music that accompanied it. Over the decades they’ve evolved from simplistic monaural beeps and bloops to full orchestral scores recorded in 7.1 surround, but from their earliest days right up to today, soundtracks have played an integral part of our memories of the games we played, and the times in our lives when we were playing them. What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of our favourites pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.

This show’s presenters were: Leon Cox, Joshua Garrity and Ryan Hamann.

Community contributors were: Radioprotector, Resarius and Flabyo.

I haven't owned any Sony consoles other than the used PS3 I got quite recently so the PaRappa phenomenon has completely passed me by. I've seen screenshots of the games before but thought they mostly looked goofy never gave them a second glance.

Both the PaRappa and UmJammer songs completely blew me away, both of them were incredible in their own ways. I'm going to have to dig deeper in this goldmine, big thanks for the public service you provide :)
