turns out the whole thing's on youtube, probably not legally but who cares
there's also a thing about a kickstarter for a third one being successfully funded seven years ago and no further news so who knows if that's happening

also we're looking for other options and why are 90% of the results positions with the us military, we do not want to work for or with the us military
we'd be fine with like. department of energy or department of transportation or something but not the navy or army or air force or dhs or whatever, which most of these are
we did find one interesting one with nasa but the listing is very confusing about what the thing is and how to apply for it

Video game music thing, #24: Unforgettable Music
This was supposed to be "Music You Constantly Have Stuck in Your Head", but due to our brainweirdness, that's not really a theme that has an answer.
So instead, an approximation: Unforgettable Music. And for that theme, sticking with the theme of less well-known games, I'm going to go with the track Solar Boy Django, from the soundtrack to Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, composed by Norihiko Hibino, Shuichi Kobori, Masashi Watanabe, Kazuki Muraoka, Akihiro Honda, Waichiro Ozaki, and Nobuko Toda. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find individual track credits anywhere.

A post-apocalyptic spaghetti western with vampires is a concept only Kojima could hope to pull off, really.

Video game music thing, #23: Underrated Music
I debated what to put here for a while, but then remembered that, for some reason, a lot of people dislike Harmony of Dissonance's soundtrack. So let's go with Offense and Defense, from the soundtrack to Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, by Soshiro Hokkai and Michiru Yamane.

People complain about this soundtrack's sound quality, but we're pretty sure that was largely the point. It uses basic wave shapes--square, sawtooth, triangle--rather than the more realistic instruments the GBA was capable of, because those basic shapes sound harsher, more "dissonant"--fitting for a game called Harmony of Dissonance that its soundtrack be made up of "dissonant" notes playing in harmony.

Video game music thing, #22: Town/Village Music
Some of the most relaxing, calm, and overall *fitting* town music we've ever heard is Rising Tide from the Suikoden soundtrack, composed by Miki Higashino, Tappy Iwase, Hiroshi Tamawari, Hirofumi Taniguchi, and Mayuko Kageshita.

This plays in the quiet lakeside villages of Teien and Rikon, and its slow, relaxed pace suits those villages perfectly.
