Before Hollywood film adaptations, and more reboots than you can shake a Desert Eagle at, Tomb Raider began life as a trilogy of revolutionary 3D platformers. Its slow, contemplative atmosphere was enhanced at every step by beautiful music from Nathan McCree. In this episode, Nathan discusses the audio for Tomb Raider I, II & III, along with some of his earliest work on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis. Nathan is a true legend of VGM, and his recent Tomb Raider Suite is proof of his legacy.

This week, RIDICULON return to the show to take us all the way back to the 19th century. The End is Nigh, a spiritual sequel to Super Meat Boy, features an OST of iconic classical masterworks, re-arranged and re-imagined by Jon Evans and Matthias Bossi. The results are an aural delight, perfectly marrying the melodic power of revered composers with the patented RIDICULON sound.

![SOUND TEST 2 - #04 - Plants vs. Zombies (w/Laura Shigihara & Peter McConnell) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QsMNElPByuo/mqdefault.jpg "SOUND TEST 2 - #04 - Plants vs. Zombies (w/Laura Shigihara & Peter McConnell) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW]
Popcap are probably best known for a string of browser and mobile games that helped define their respective genres. Among their most successful series is Plants vs. Zombies, which has spawned several spin-offs and sequels since it first released in 2009.
It was also one of the games that established Laura Shigihara as a formidable musical talent. She provided such accomplished work to the game that Peter McConnell, who took over composing duties from PVZ2, has kept it firmly in mind for every sequel since. Because of that, the series has carved out its own distinctive feel, and one that expertly matches the cartoonish fun on screen.
In this episode, following on from her first short appearance in this series’ Minecraft episode, Laura Shigihara returns to the show for her first of two lengthier conversations. Additionally, Peter McConnell makes his Sound Test debut ahead of an expansive LucasArts podcast in 2020. In this Plants vs. Zombies special, the three of us explore what makes the franchise’s music stick out, and fit so well with the madcap world around it.
