barSILENCE: A Video Game Music Podcast

[Episode 36] This month barSILENCE is stepping into the ring with the hard-hitting genre-blending soundtracks of Tobal No. 1 and Tobal 2! In 1996, Squaresoft’s first PlayStation title, Tobal No. 1, was a stunning showcase of talent, featuring character designs by Akira Toriyama, and a star-studded composer lineup led by the legendary Yasunori Mitsuda. A year later, the Japanese-exclusive Tobal 2 turned everything up to 11 with an expanded Quest Mode, a Guinness World Record-setting roster of 200 characters, as well as Takayuki Nakamura’s brilliant fusion of jazz rock and electronica that makes this soundtrack a true knockout! Let's lace up those gloves! It’s time to fight… and jam!
