...and we're STILL here!! It's funny how each successive NON-APOCALYPSE does absolutely nothing to dissuade the next group from insisting, with fevered certainty, that THEIR apocalypse is gonna be legit. The doomsday learning curve is rather flat :) At any rate, it is indeed the dawn of a new day, and many of you are already enjoying the Majora's Mask album Theophany released yesterday. If not, well, you probably should be - his work is excellent, his love for the game apparent, and there's a tonal consistency afforded by a primarily solo album that makes the whole experience quite the slick package. Apparently Jason's been super busy since we didn't get a chance to get mix comments from him, or a heads-up regarding the album itself, but it's enjoyed a pretty smashing viral success which is well-deserved, and the timing was certainly spot-on. So's the music, as this highlight arrangement featuring XPRTNovice (told you we'd be hearing more from him) clearly displays. Reminding me of HyperDuck SoundWorks equally resplendent Wind Waker ReMix in terms of tone and also some ambient sound FX, this acoustic jam features a wind lead, acoustic guitar strumming, beautiful strings, and numerous ambient elements to create an atmosphere that's celebratory and folksy and all sorts of good. I'm glad we're all still here, and I'm glad we can appreciate that fact with some excellent Majora tunage - check out www.terriblefate.com for more!

This is a wonderful track. Just the thing to keep you going and remind you on gray days that life always goes on.

except it's on the album... it's called clocktown and is track 4...

I wanted to tell this story because I think it's funny. After finishing my contributions to this, Theophany emailed me and said "Hey, tell your wife I said thanks for all the help with the vocals."

I said "No, man. It was just me."

:lol:

Zelda's Lullaby was also in here, so it should be included in the original music section.

To me I think this song would fit perfectly right after the final track of Theophany's album.

Beautiful. I'm so happy to see this game get its own album. One of my favorites!
Rest of the album is great too, but I especially recommend "Lover's Mask". Reminds me of David Nyman's piano/violin work. Awesome!

As usual, I don't come out very often unless something really catches my ear. This is absolutely gorgeous. Getting a very strong traditional Irish vibe from this without the standard Irish tropes in some respects. (I love Irish music, this is refreshing). It's been a while since I've found a mix so engrossing. It has a very nice, deep energy to it.
*edit*
Also, listening to the album right now. Great stuff.

This is how I wanted to Remix Clock town. Thank you for giving me one less thing to do.
Oh yeah the song's awesome too!

Haven't had time to listen to the album yet but this song is beautiful.

- Swifthom on December 23, 2012

- Geoffrey Taucer on December 23, 2012
Nice! Extra special having the Ocarina in there; Is that you playing? :)
Edit: Album is downloading now~!

- WolfenAmphithere on December 22, 2012
This mix is wonderful, as is the rest of the album. Should definitely be checked out!
