Materia Collective have proven time and again that their care and respect for their artists and the music they create is carried into the products that they distribute. They fill this niche so well in their own loving way that I don't think could be done differently. Materia Collective have definitely solidified themselves as being the de-facto arrangement and cover label, and I absolutely love it. The cassette sounds on the last track is a beautiful touch as well, and harkens back to the album’s sub title of it being a tape! Breath of the Wild This album packs a huge punch in it’s bass, but it’s always just right and never detracts from the melodic musings throughout this record. The mastering for this album by Dj Cutman is super crisp and clean, which allows the noise floor to be very quiet, giving room for the added artificial noise to be an accent of Mikel’s design and not a distraction in the slightest.

It’s an artistic decision from Mikel, and how the album was originally intended to be heard, so I am glad it is preserved here. However, it’s not something that I noticed as being off with my listening sessions. The added bits of record fuzz from the original digital album are present here and is something that might be a contention point for some people. While seemingly simplistic in nature, Mikel's work is genius in its execution. Mikel has a YouTube channel where he posts his lo-fi video game covers, and it is a small treasure trove of amazing content! As his first vinyl foray into the video game music scene, Mikel has set the tempo low and the bar high for his signature take on the iconic music from Koji Kondo and team! The way in which he preserves the original music that has been ingrained into our collective DNA is unique and stylistic in it’s own way, and is one of the reasons this album is so fun to listen to. You and your pal Link deserve a much needed rest - trust me, Ganon can wait! Lost WoodsĮmerging from what seemed like nowhere, Mikel, a hip-hop producer based out of Germany, has brought the world of Zelda to its Epona-fashioned heels. Lay back, drop that needle, let your table spin, and whisk away to a simpler time.
