The MV Podcast 152: Mohammed Taher (Brave Wave)
The newest episode of The Modern Vinyl Podcast is our conversation with Mohammed Taher, founder and label head over at Brave Wave. They recently reissued the soundtrack to Street Fighter II on vinyl, while they're now preparing a big Ninja Gaiden reissue. We talk about the less heralded, yet more ambitious side of their label (composer originals), how one becomes a big video game music fan, along with the label's relationship with Keiji Yamagishi (Tecmo Bowl, Ninja Gaiden, Captain Tsubasa).
