This post is a bit different from the usual content on here. I decided to use
the various tracks publicly exposed on youtube to put together a dungeon synth
mixtape of sorts. The first playlist, the "A Side," is
pure dungeon synth. The second, the "B Side," goes beyond dungeon
synth, but is generally related in some way. I may veer completely
off-course for the B-Sides, here and in future playlists. For both sides I try to mostly focus on stuff
I haven't already covered on the blog. I'd like to do more of these in the future, so I hope
you guys enjoy the selections.

01. Heidenreich - Todeswunsch / The Prophet's Sacrifice

I've always thought Sopor Aeternus' early stuff is very much fitting into the Dungeon style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJm6zcAT9qY
ReplyDeleteIt's got a very similar sensibility for sure, especially her side-project Nenia C'Alladhan.
DeleteExcellent compilation.
ReplyDeleteThe Carpathian Forest demos have some very eerie intros and interludes. I'd love to hear an album done in this style; it has a very archaic and mysterious-sounding ambience.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I really wish they had stuck with that sound.
