So you said you got interviews plural. And sense your not using them for the Top 9 will you be making a kind of mini series out of them which this is the first episode?

WOW! Thanx to Paw and especially The Fat Man.
I've had music from some his games stuck in my head for over a decade.
How thrilling to hear him speak about the craft.

Awesomesauce. I never played Wing Commander, but hearing Spoony gush about it and now hearing he composed the music for it makes me want to. Very entertaining interview, the man is very knowledgeable on VG music.

George was at a game convention in 2003 where I was an exhibitor. He came by my table and we talked for like 20 minutes. SUPER cool guy. Man, I tried hard not to gush, as his music is amazing. During the show, he pulled out a guitar, sat in a chair in the corner, and just played for like a straight hour. Such a great guy. At his table, they had video running from some of his games, and I was impressed at the diversity of what he had composed. He had one other member from Team Fat there, too, and they handed out little comic books about themselves. All in all, a great experience!

Great interview, very informative. Just out of curiosity Paw, whats your opinion on Frank Klepacki? He did the music to the Red Alert and Command and Conquer games. Arguably his greatest i think is Hell March 2 :) but it would be intresting to hear your opinion on him (if you have played any of the games. They are definatly worth a go).

That man is such a hippie! Which is why it's interesting to watch. I like interviews, even though I am not too familiar with this guys work. I'd love to see you interview Mark Siebert.

I've never really felt envy toward you TGWTG folks, but that ends now. The 7th Guest was one of my favorite games in videogame history, so you getting to interview THE Fat Man instead of A fat man is mindblowing to lowly poseurs such as myself.

my interviews with Barry Leitch and Chris Huelsbeck sounds pathetic now :(

Pretty interesting to get an opinion on video game music from an industry insider.
Cool beans Paw. I can't wait to see your next Top 9. :)

That was awesome.
Such a great composer, amazing to hear his thoughts.
Loom had some awesome music in it, and I was unaware he did it. So now I know. Thanks

This is pretty cool, if you can make this into an ongoing series I'd like to see more interviews.

Paw, this is one of the best interviews on the web I have seen. I am glad you posted this and I am glad you interviewed Mr. Sanger. If you interviewed any more people please do.

Great interview, Mr. Paw!
Well thought questions and an incredible composer.
The ending was great too. I imagine when people who didn't heard about this site before see the name "Channel Awesome". B)

And he's right, you had some good questions. This is the first time I heard the view from someone in the industry, and it is a lot different than what I thought. He clearly appreciates his craft.
And on the topic of a score uplifting, I loved the background music. I never really thought about it until the after-credit shot where the music wasn't in. It became notably empty. Just shows how effective even subtle music can be.
Thanks for showing this. Are you going to fill us in on some of the other interviews?
P.S. "That's Red.... Yaaay!"
