Thought this might interest someone. Lock if old. (Yes, it means it starts in less than 10 minutes.) You can listen online too. [ Update: show's over, but you can listen again here: http://www.classicfm.com/radio/aod/?episodeId=255281 ]

On Saturday 15 March at 5pm, Howard Goodall will be playing two hours of music from the world of video games. Join him to hear about this exciting genre of music, as he plays the soundtracks to Bioshock Infinite, Halo, Super Mario, Final Fantasy and more.

 

[Roxas]

Awesome, tuning in now, thanks!

 

[Simzyy]

Nice. Got it on now

 

[jonno394]

I love Howard Goodall, gonna listen to this live for half an hour and then catch up later on during week.

 

[clockpunk]

Cheers for the headsup - that's me tuned in as well!

 

[jonno394]

Good start with Aeriths Theme, wonder which tune they'll use from the Zelda soundtrack?

 

[Nzyme32]

Nice OP, checking out now!

 

[KennyLinder]

Playing now, so good!

 

[gngf123]

Tuning in now.

 

[TCRS]

nice, cheers!

 

[Empty]

cool. thanks for the heads up.

y'know my grandparents listen to classical fm religiously so i wonder what they'll think of uematsu etc

 

[Roxas]

Liberi Fatali now, great start to the show

 

[Acquiescence]

FFVIII! Hells yeah.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Just tuned in. Is this music from Final Fantasy VIII?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Hope their chrono selection includes The End of Time.

Best bgm ever

 

[Alfred Saxon]

Thank you i'm listening to it right now.

 

[Empty]

that was a nice little speech by goodall

to zanarkand <3

 

[jonno394]

To Zanarkand on now :sogood.gif:

edit - "you've got to seperate what music is for and what it is"

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Great stuff, I'm glad the DJ is saying forget the music is from games and just listen to it as great pieces of music. I hope they play something from Shadow of the Colossus as well. Sort of got me thinking where Uematsu would sit in the pantheon of all time great composers.

 

[AzureSkies]

Is there a way to listen to this on mobile?

Yup, I'm currently listening on my phone.

I'm not feeling this version of the SMB theme, I must say. I'm glad that this is a thing though. I never thought it would be a commercial radio station doing this instead of the BBC though.

 

[Alfred Saxon]

The only song i have recognised so far is the super mario brothers music. The FF 10 ? Music was beautiful.

Install Mediahint and try again?

Alternatively, try any random postal code from google?

 

[Kubricks Ghost]

Thanks for the heads up. Listening

[Garjon]

Gusty Garden! Yes!

 

[robotrock]

[Andrefpvs]

If you are on Android, I recommend Tune-In Radio.


I love this song so much.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Love hearing this stuff on the radio!

[jonno394]

Good choices so far, I haven't listened to teh soundtrack from 3D world, so would love a final piece in the three tracks (if he plays three) to be from that.

 

[luffeN]

Anyone outside the UK having an IP block: I used this postcode and can listen from Austria: CB2 4RG

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Cool, i can support this

 

[JB2448]

That was the London Philharmonic? That was freaking awesome!

Spoiler

Filthy yank here.

 

[Storm360]

Never thought I'd be spending my Saturday listening to Classic FM, I'm a sucker for VGM though

 

[StevePharma]

Jep, just use some random one. I took one from the wikipedia page "UK Postal codes"

 

[robotrock]

It's neat to hear the Broken Age soundtrack so soon

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Not sure about the SMB main tune, but Gusty Gardens from Galaxy was nice. I actually have The Greatest Video Game Music album from the London Philharmonic and there are some wonderful tunes on there. I'd love it if they played the Sonic medley.

What's this current one? Edit - Oh, it's from Broken Age.

 

[Huggers]

Only just tuned in. Thanks dudes.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Aw yiss
Remember Me has a stunning OST

 

[Empty]

neat they're doing recent stuff like remember me and broken age and not just the classics

 

[StevePharma]

Fuck yeah so awesome to see Remember Me get the credit it deserves, the OST was one of greats last year.

 

[Acquiescence]

Remember Me's soundtrack was easily the best thing about it.

 

[winstano]

Most would probably recognise him as the guy that did the Red Dwarf theme

 

[jonno394]

Wow, this Remember Me piece actually makes me want to play the game.

 

[StevePharma]

Remember Me's soundtrack was easily the best thing about it.

And the art too. I bought the artbook because the designs and world were very well realized.
