Cory Johnson's post-rock Zelda album is complete
Back in December, I shared a demo of an upcoming Zelda tribute album by Cory Johnson. Several months later, the album is complete and ready to occupy your music library. The finished album consists of 23 tracks spanning the entire Zelda series. As I mentioned before, the arrangements are post-rock instrumentals with an intentionally rough-sounding edge. Listening to it, I am envisioning the cast of FLCL decked out as Zelda mainstays. Naota would be Link, obviously, but Haruko would have to be Tetra, specifically. Because Tetra Zelda is the best Zelda. Legit. If you wanna cop the whole pack of jams, just pay Cory whatever you think he deserves. Meanwhile, check out the killer "Outset Island" rendition below. The Legend of Zelda (Cory Johnson) [Bandcamp] (Thanks to all who tipped this!)

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I remember liking this a lot when you posted up the "samples" months ago; listened to it off and on for weeks. I hope the "final" tracks aren't cleaned up too much, since I liked that rough-around-the-edges feel the remixes had. Well, between my curiosity and the presence of a bunch of new tracks (many of which seem to comprise a Majora's Mask suite), it's time to give this a listen. I've been listening to the demos since you posted them last time. Absolutely incredible stuff. It's really refreshing to hear game covers that aren't just wanky metal covers. this is awesome. and yes, this is reminiscent of mercury program, among others. post/prog-rock is one of my preferred genres. damn fine work. 7:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Rad Halo musical cover features a lot of SpartansRemember that wonderful Zelda violin cover? With cosplay and everything? Well Lindsey Stirling is back, this time doing a cover of the Halo theme while an all out Spartan war is happening around her. It's a pretty good cover, and I love how the 405th Halo cosplayers are just battling it out.
