Sound Test 01

Schematist imagines a world with more Mega Man ZX games. Then SonikBuster sends you to sleep with a variety of game based lullabies from the Sleep Mode album.
Pokemon, Celeste, Zelda, Majora's Mask, YOMOTSU
This week features Lena Raine's highly rated Celeste album, Tributes to Zelda in Marshall Art and Cory Johnson's Timeline EP as well as Pinhead Larry's new remix album, Memory Palace 2. Shinesparkers present Harmony of a Champion, a compilation tribute to the original Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow. Then it's another indie game OST with Chris Porter's YOMOTSU album.
The Mimmos' self titled album
When I first hit play on this EP, it suddenly washed over me how much I enjoy this band. The album seems to pick up right where 2015's Rowboat EP left off. Building from the lo-fi crunch of Rowboat to the clear, assured sounds of this album, it feels like a nice, natural progression of The Mimmos' sound. As with the previous album, there are many references to water, the sea, and water related things, which I really love. Water might be my second favorite reference point for music, the first being outer space.
Mother 4, Cuphead, Diddy Kong Racing, Earthbound, Zelda
This week is a tribute to Diddy Kong Racing via a ton of artists from Materia Collective, Shane Mesa pays tribute to the Mother series in the fictional Mother 4 Soundtraaaack! More Earthbound via Super Soul Bros on their debut album Motherlode, and Rozen is back with an epic tribute to the Legend of Zelda series.
