Exploring the Solar System

Episode #437 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth board a spacecraft and blast off on a grand tour of the solar system. From the scorched rock of Mercury baking next to the Sun, out through the ruins of Venus and the god of chaos himself, past the red dust of Mars and the doomed little moon circling it, all the way to the frozen edge of everything and back again.

Strap in for a journey that runs the whole emotional spectrum, from full-throttle rock and pulse-pounding chaos to sparse, lonely, gorgeous atmospheres drifting somewhere far past Neptune. So grab your headphones, mind the artificial gravity, and come explore the solar system with us.
