Episode 6: Your Horoscope For Today - a podcast by bedroth

Oh, you guys. This episode. In what started as a gimmick and evolved into something much more, bedroth and Shootkapow explore VGM inspired by the signs of the Zodiac. Running the gamut from retro to modern, from chip to orchestra, this episode is jam-packed with some wildly diverse VGM. Of course, it all follows our one big rule: everything has to be Very Good Music!
