[Episode 12] ALLLL RIGHT EVERYONE! This month barSILENCE is racing and drifting through the soundtrack to the early releases of the Ridge Racer series in the arcade and on the original PlayStation! The soundtracks to Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer 2, and Ridge Racer Revolution, share many things and most of it is high-energy techno by composers Shinji Hosoe, Ayako Saso, and Nobuyoshi Sano, that puts the pedal to the metal and drives you to dancing!
