yeah I saw them on the Cosmos tour (w/ The Fucking Champs), I would love to see them again and hear some of their other stuff live.

I saw them open for ISIS once, a long time ago. Great band, and really fun to see live (fucking loud!)

Thunder Force III actually has the best soundtrack of the series but “Escape Velocity” really reminded me of TFII.

Haven’t heard Axelay, barely remember it but my picks for best NES shmup BGMs would have to be Lifeforce and Guardian Legend

If you love synth-laden 80’s movie soundtracks you’re guaranteed to like this, Jodi. Me? I eat this stuff up. Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Goblin, John Carpenter, etc.

Excellent review, Gaba. Nice to see you know your shmups. Axelay’s got the best SNES music while the Thunder Force series owns the Genesis imo.

this band is so fun. the album cover is one of the cleverest and most ridiculous I’ve ever seen.
