Episode 59: Manfred Linzner with Cam Werme
Manfred Linzner’s music has provided an upbeat, danceable backdrop to to many awesome games over the years. The German-born composer not only wrote music for incredible titles like Nanostray and Iridion II, but he programmed and produced the games as well! On today’s show, Cam Werme joins Ed with a selection of incredible Linzner-penned tunes, and they explore his career with Shin’en and their quality shmup and racing titles.
A huge thank you to Indira J (The Misadventures of Buddy and Friend, Sacrimony) for the amazing VGMbassy artwork and design, and to Trevin Hughes (aka chiptune composer Jredd) for the podcast theme song!
