A concept album of experimental interpretations and original compositions inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A collaboration between the video game soundtrack label, Data Discs, and the London-based experimental group, Imprints.

Written and recorded between 2019-2023, this album utilises tape machines, pedal steel guitar, modular synthesisers, field recordings, piano, double bass and various DIY circuits/devices in an attempt to approach the idea of the “video game cover album” in a more organic and interpretative way. By mixing acoustic and ensemble elements with processed electronic and synthesised sounds, the intention is to reflect the feelings of desolation, space and loss often evoked by this most revered and influential game.

Double LP on frosted clear/green vinyl.
Lacquer cut by Lupo and pressed at Pallas, Germany.
Plays at 45RPM.

Imprints' previous works include Data Trails (Serein, 2014) and Inside Every Second (Experimedia, 2011). https://imprintsmusic.bandcamp.com

Motohiro Kawashima is a Tokyo-based game composer and DJ, best known for his work on the legendary Streets of Rage 2 & 3, which he co-composed alongside his friend and longtime collaborator, Yuzo Koshiro. His work is known for its experimental and techno-influenced style, most notably on the genre-defying and entirely unclassifiable soundtrack to Streets of Rage 3, which continues to astonish and perplex listeners over 30 years later.

In 2017, Kawashima was reunited with Koshiro to tour the music of the Streets of Rage trilogy in live venues across the World and shortly afterwards began working on his first solo album.

This vinyl edition showcases Kawashima’s first ever non-soundtrack albums, combining the previously self-released Prepared Wave (2019) and Acrobatizm (2023) into one package. Throughout these works, Kawashima explores and blends different styles of electronic music, drawn from his decades of watching Western trends enthusiastically from afar, while retaining his own unique style and the sense of playful experimentalism for which he first became known.

Double LP on translucent pink vinyl.
Lacquer cut by Lupo and pressed at Pallas, Germany.
Plays at 33RPM.
