Grab your sword and shield, IT'S TIME FOR BATTLE (music).  This isn't boss music mind you, this is battle music.  What does that mean?  Say you're traveling to the next town in an RPG and suddenly you stumble into a random enemy encounter...hit that battle music.  Maybe you're taking a stroll down to the local store to grab a snack when someone tries to jack your Reebok Club

Did someone turn the heat up in here?  Oh, it must be these HOT tunes from composer Matt Furniss!  Alright, I'm done with the furnace puns.  Matt is a very prolific western VGM composer who started his career at only 16-years-old and while this mixtape mostly focuses on his work, included are a couple pieces from game soundtracks he didn't work on but likes a lot.  He actually
