“Most Zelda fans know by now that the theme song from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is actually Zelda’s lullaby in reverse,” comments arranger/performer Stemage. “RETROGRESSION Vol. 1 is a musical experiment following this same idea, keeping the arrangements clean with just four instruments similar to the four usable channels on the NES: two guitars, bass, and drums.”
Other iconic soundtracks may be featured on future installments in the RETROGRESSION series.
