In this unexpected and inexplicable episode, we listen to the soundtrack of Winglancer, an MSX game that got ported to windows in 2002. It's got an incredible soundtrack, but the cool part is that it has two soundtracks - the MSX version and the Windows version. I smashed them together and it sounds...amazing.
