It might be 2018, but there’s still tons of music from 2017 that needs it’s proper due. Take for instance Materia Collective and artist Harry Lodes who released game arrangement album Reprisal in December. Featuring some of the most iconic pieces of game music from titles such as Final Fantasy VII, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Okami, and many others, Reprisal aims to take listeners into the heroic themes of each piece.
Whether I was defeating Yami, searching for rare pokémon, or journeying to rescue Princess Zelda from the clutches of Ganon, I always felt as if I was living in a single moment, frozen in time: one that permanently and eternally held a spirit of limitless adventure. Every remix is written to depict a single moment frozen in time, one I hope you will choose to live and re-live as I have. – Harry Lodes, Album Producer
Reprisal is currently available for purchase on Bandcamp, iTunes and streaming on Spotify. You can also find the album’s full credits and information on Materia Collective‘s website.
