Hey, Mike here with another Sonoludic – the podcast that explores the music and sound of video-games. Chris is getting in on the act too, and he will be updating this ‘cast too but this episode is one of mine, and it’s about Deadly Premonition.

Deadly Premonition is a game that many gamers, a little unfairly perhaps, criticize because of its graphics and music appearing to be a bit dated. Now I can’t speak for the graphics, but when you examine the music of Deadly Premonition it is abundantly clear, to me, that like so many other things in the game, it is in fact riffing off Angelo Badalamenti, and Twin Peaks.

Finally it’s back, the lumbering beast that is known as the Chronoludic Podcast has returned to fill you with game discussion and a little bit of confusion at times! You’ll have to take my word for it when I say that the production of EP4 was epic to say the least (which in reference to small gaming podcasts anyway). Missing hosts, dodgy microphones, anguish, lost time and a rogue lady called Pamela have tried to stop this episode from coming into being. In a veritable pendulum swing from no podcast at all, EP4 is weighing in at over 2hours and counting and for your sake I have opted to split it into two to save people passing out around the 1 hour mark.

The Cigarette in the Wine Bottle

By Mike | Published: January 5, 2011

With this début effort from the company I am pleased to see another developer going in interesting directions in game development on numerous fronts.
