106: Drive Into the City

In the grand tradition of Singing Mountain episodes that make driving music of VGM that’s not from driving games, here’s a new one: the soundtrack for a drive into the city that starts out laidback but gets a little tense as you get toward the big city. This is actually a part one to a part two that you’ll get next that’s all gritty city music — basically what you here when you finally arrive at those scary skyscrapers on the horizon.

Listen to my previous driving music episodes: Sunset Drive, Afternoon Drive and Moonlight Drive.

Also listen to the all-Valis III episode, because no one else did.
