I'm legit kinda jealous hehe So I assume you're a big Banjo-Kazooie fan like myself too?

No doubt. I even have a few of the unpublished, later-discovered Treasure Trove Cove cheat codes committed to memory. It's honestly my favorite platformer series of all time, and I even think that Nuts 'n Bolts was excellent, and unfairly maligned. It was a prototype Besiege.

It's my favorite platformer series too! Always good to find out a friend is also a fan

To be honest? It's @grantkirkhope's soundtracks that make 'em all. I sat down with a friend a few weeks back and gave him a run through the various arrangements of Freezeezy Peak. It blew his mind when I pointed out that the tree lights being on cut in a countermelody on bells.

I too was a Kirkhope fan before it was cool lol

I would call myself a fan perhaps, but given today's concept of fans, I would say I'm not a "stan". Would love to some day have a pint, but am not the "have my babies" type, if that makes any sense.

Credit where credit's due, Rare's composers (and former composers) are all total units. I remember being 17 and still at uni, circa 2002, and e-mailing Graeme to ask for some critique on a bespoke MIDI sequence of a Blast Corps track I'd arranged. And getting an answer.

Getting an answer! That's the thing! I'd send the weirdest questions into their letters page... and they'd just... answer them wtf. I asked if Jolly Roger was going to be in Nuts & Bolts, as a joke, and they just said yes so I got the weirdest accidental scoop
