We and @airship-overdrive.bsky.social listen to OVER 20 pieces of overworld music, mostly from non #FinalFantasy RPGs from 1986-2018
A myriad of composers (including Koji Kondo, Yasunori Mitsuda, & Yoko Shimomura) showcase their brilliance in scoring the vibe of a world

The latest DEVO documentary is on Netflix now, and I *highly* recommend it to anyone interested in the music industry of the 70’s and 80’s
Particularly interesting to see how the Kent State incident and Dadaism directly affected how Mothersbaugh and crew approached performance art
