<p>[Episode 46] This month, barSILENCE is buzzing as we bump to the bass of the soundtrack to Buck Bumble on the Nintendo 64!</p> <p>The now-infamous main theme has taken on a life of its own, reaching a meme-like status that has followed the game ever since its 1998 release.</p> <p>Backed by the technical pedigree of Argonaut Software, composer Justin Scharvona channeled the London Speed Garage scene so authentically that Buck Bumble could truly stand as a legitimate entry in the genre. Not just the soundtrack to a game about a cyber bee.</p> <p>Are you ready?</p> <p>Because RIGHT ABOUT NOW it's time to rock with the biggity Buck Bumble!</p> <p>Tracklisting:</p> <p>00:00:00 - Buck Bumble Intro (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:00:47 - Buck Bumble Main Theme (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:03:10 - Intro - Buck Bumble Origins</p> <p>00:09:28 - Main Menu (FX Fighter) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:12:07 - Robotic Fighter (Cyben 30) (FX Fighter) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:16:34 - Amazonian Women (Kiko) (FX Fighter) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:24:06 - Shock Strike (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:25:28 - Buck Bumble Mission Screen (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:26:33 - Radar Run (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:29:13 - Short Fuse (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:31:56 - Outpost (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:33:39 - Mucus Storage (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:35:46 - Depot Attack (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:36:46 - Buck Bumble Queen (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:38:54 - Buck Bumble Big Boss (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona]</p> <p>00:39:54 - Outro</p> <p>00:42:23 - Title Track (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona / Alec Falconer]</p> <p>00:47:24 - Mucus Storage (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona / Alec Falconer]</p> <p>00:51:20 - Shock Strike (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona / Alec Falconer]</p> <p>00:57:45 - Short Fuse (Buck Bumble) [Justin Scharvona / Alec Falconer]</p> <p>barSILENCE is a podcast that is created to celebrate and explore the best video game music in the world!
