“A new Mikel album is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.” Another fantastic album, love your work! Found you through Zelda and Chill 1 and I’ve been hooked ever since.
This is beyond cool. It feels much larger than a lofi album- like the beats are a medium to tell a much deeper and richer musical story. Really love the instrumentation and use of vocals throughout, I've never heard anything like it before. Insane work man! Looking forward to having this on repeat for a long time 😊
I used to listen to listen to zelda and chill when I was younger. I just saw the lord of rings movies for the first time and heard this. You are definitely my favorite lofi artist, thank you
While being a perfect lofi album, each track perfectly brings the style of the scene and soundtrack straight to the mind. Concerning Hobbits and Gandalf's Fall here are as powerful as the movie soundtrack's versions in their own right.
After listening to it I can say I can appreciate how many decisions and growth went into this album. You were definitely able to put a spin on these classic melodies and leave your own mark upon them.
That means a lot to me! Sometimes I'm unsure if the changes in my music will be well received, but I try to trust my decisions and I'm always happy to see positive reactions :)
Seeing Gandalf fade away in the animation during Gandalf's Fall really got me. An already sad and emotional piece, but with that added touch... The feels man. 👌 Mikel you're music has been a delight and constant rock to rely on over the years. It's been a privilege to listen and enjoy, and watch as it evolves. Never stop making good sir, cuz I'll never stop listening!
**Writting this while listening to The Breaking of the Fellowship with my 6yo daughter and 4yo son.** Welcome back Mikel. I missed you. My childs missed you. We missed you. 🥹♥️
So glad I got to catch most of the premiere! Thanks to your excellent work Mikel, we get to experience the music we love dearly in a new way, that still honors the beauty and emotion of the original works. Cheers friend! 🥂
There's a lot of great Lofi artists out there but you're the best one for me. Thanks for delivering Everytime. From frowing up with your beats during the VBT era to finding you a decade later doing zelda & chill and you never stopped making great music, hoping you'll never stop.
Mikel, it's been so much fun listening to your style evolve over the years. Your music has carried me through many a long night. And this album is a real highlight. Keep on exploring! Also love your animations-- I could stare at those windy trees for hours. And when it transitioned to Gandalf's Fall and he disappeared... I got the feels all over again.
I love all this music, this is really well put together. Mad respect. That being said, hearing this version of Gandalf's Fall conjures an image in my head of the hobbits weeping while hitting some sick dance moves 😭
Mikel you are the best, whenever I want to listen to nostalgic music, you are the guy that I go to. Every song you make gets better, but the classic are so good too! Thanks for giving me such an amazing childhood, looking forward to listen to your next song!😊
I just found this and I could not be more pleased! Been listening to Floating and the Ghibli Tape on repeat the last few weeks and now this will get me through the rest of the semester 😌
@@MikelTBE Of course, thank you so much for all the music you've made! It's really been a blessing to me. I've already listened to this album so many times, it helps me stay (somewhat, haha) calm while I do my organic chemistry, multivariable calculus, and engineering homework. You're awesome, thanks again for sharing your creativity, passion, and skill!
No Way! I Listen to your albums on repeat at home, and use Zelda and Chill to help get my 2 year old to sleep. I'm so excited to see this one come out and add it to our regular listening.
my favourite lofi mix of middle earth music I've ever come across, beautiful work! 🩵and the background is amazing as well, I'd use that as a desktop background
@@MikelTBE already looks awesome tho! (just downloaded and set the nighttime version as desktop wallpaper 💙) Are you designing your website UI from scratch?
Dude this is SO GOOD. But also, mad kudos to the animator. The video itself is beautiful, but I wasn't ready for Gandalf to disappear during Gandalf's Fall 😭
I'm listening to this album more and more. Definitely a different style from Zelda & Chill but still very good. So good to see you in my Spotify Wrapped 2024 video
Insane work mate, what is so cool about you is that from zelda albums to your own tracks, we can clearly feel your style and your growth. Already listened to this album a few times while running in the woods, it feels so good ! Thanks you for your art and keep at it please haha :D Love you
Your best imho! Really great. I also love the transition from "The King of the Golden Hall" which starts already 29:54 to this great "Last March of the Ents". Just amazing.
I just love everything you do. Started with the Zelda tracks, love your original stuff and this is also amazing. Nothing calms me like your chill lofi tracks.
Gotta say, normally I really don't love Rivendell's theme bc the chorus doesn't hit right. I think your lofi might be the first rendition I've heard that sounds good to this picky listener xD Great job on this album, love hearing your work after Zelda and Chill. Jokabi's Tears of the Kingdom album is also standout.
I love how Gandalf disappears in Gandalf's Fall and reappears as a white wizard in Forth Eorlingas, just as he did in Two Towers. Love the attention to detail :) Edit: Just noticed the beacon lighting up too! Any other subtle changes I missed?
Sorry for commenting 3 times in this video (this will be the last one) but I am currently going through the extended lord of the rings movies and it is awesome!
@@Gabe-78 yes, sure! Working on RUclips licenses for other users interested in using my music. But if you should ever get any claim or so, please let me know!

Return of the King

The transition fromThe King of the Golden Hall into The Last March of the Ents... IMMACULATE
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it. It's my favourite part of the whole album!
@MikelTBE the awakening / creaking wood in the first few moments of Ents does not go unnoticed either 👑
@v464x ahh I'm glad you noticed that, was a very small detail I wanted to add 😁
@MikelTBE I'm not surprised, it does the original proud. An absolutely pristine homage.
Love the album as well. Thank you for yet another banger!

thank you so much for the compliment, means a lot to me and I hope you'll enjoy the album! :)
Younger? 😂 Its not like zelda and chill is 15 years back!
@OriginalCatfish42 I was nine when it came out, and now I am 15. I guess I am still young but 6 years is a long time
The transition from The King of the Golden Hall to The Last March of the Ents? LEGENDARY. IMPECCABLE. PRISTINE. SEXY.
Thank you (I keep listening to this part myself haha) ❤️
