i just took a scan through the track names and theres a lot of references as well: moon sphere of the dancing court refers to a very popular place in waterdeep where people come to dance near a magical construct of the same name kelthas reffers to an obscure necromancer bandit and dragonspear is a dungeon im pretty sure dinomace is a refference to the saurials or dragonbait but im not aquainted enough with either to be sure

This cover made me smile! And the music remimded of my youth days so greatly... (always loved fantasy stuff).

This music reminds me of old fantasy movies - Conan the Barbarian, Hawk The Slayer and many more, like it😉

I feel it too, really well thought out.

The Forgotten Realms influence is as subtle as a .50 cal rifle. I`m fine with it though.

Return from Dragonspear is truly beyond godly.

Was not expecting trap hats

Moon Sphere of The Dancing Court touched my heart so deeply that brought tears to my eyes.

*End of the album. Sits in silence for a bit. Standing ovation.* Holy mama !

Lord of the Synth

strong 80's pulp fantasy vibe, I dig it.

Lansharra’s Leavetaking is awesome as well as the whole album. You’ve found the roots of fantasy, the mood of the written novels that started it all.

Unreal

This is something special. Amazing dungeon synth with beautiful cover art with that really captures the feeling of adventure and exploration into an unknown realm.

FINALLY!! A dungeon synth album with some lyrics.This album is an inspired work, clearly the product of adept craftsmen.

Thanks for the support everyone!

beautiful homage to the Forgotten Realms.

This brings me back to AD&D days!

Barely made it to a minute with the first song and I bought the whole album because of how evident the beauty and talent this album portrays. I am glad I did because it is gems like these that reminds me why I love and support this genre

Ancient and *forgotten* Netherese music? Yes please.

This is a new genre for me and I instantly fall in love

Great Fantasy Ambient! As if I was plunged into the middle ages.

I feel like Im back playin DOSbox RPGs

DS is a gift that just keeps on giving!

Two songs in and I was purchasing this off Amazon Digital. The epic conclusion of 'Return from Dragonspear' left me wanting more. ❤

As soon as I heard multiple types of sound, INCLUDING a hint of drums in the first track, I already knew it would be better than average dungeonsynth.

The vintage book cover look of an old paperback Forgotten Realms novel or adventure module adds great to the experience. Throws me back to my early adventuring days with my first AD&D-Group back in the mid 90ies. Excellent!

Perfect for classic sword and sorcery books 🎶

First track blew me away. First I've heard from these guys but they are awesome.

Slickest trap beat I have heard in a while, in the middle of a dungeon synth album, fucking bravo

OK probably the best one next to depressive silence. Insane tracks

Time-space condundrum is ethereal yet so dark, otherworldly yet so grounded, lively yet so melancholy. Im still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor.

Magnificent from the off. Instant classic in dungeon synth.

Unreal stuff. So sad I’m just now finding out about it!

Dinomace goes so strong and hard for those 2 minutes, not a second wasted there!

This is awesome. I needed this for today's rainy commute.

Love it from the start, every song has a unique tone that somehow flows very well with song preceding and following it.

God tier DS. Easily on the same level as DS legends such as Fief and Castle Zagyx

This is fucking fantastic! Instant classic

20:27 When the percussion starts on Dinomace, it really reminds me of Dawn of War music.

There's something about this cover art, I don't know what it is, but I really like it. It feels like good fantasy is the closest I can say to pinpointing it. Like, decent fantasy; true fantasy from 70s/80s/90s before it became cool. I like it.

@@kaykek7174 I know. I hate to say it but, I think the 'pasty' look of digital artwork and some sort of lack of vibrancy, is also part of it. Traditional paints seem to have a particular quality to them on paper or canvas that seems to hold its value for the viewer (or for me at least) much longer than newer arts done digitally. It really has a different quality to me than digital does.

great artwork

I don't understand how someone can like this and not like black metal

Simply amazing

Good to see you back, DSA! This is a fantastic album to come back with.

I love the variety within Dungeon Synth. After turning off al album with more of the hammered dulcimer ren faire vibe -which is fantastic just not my mood- this is hitting the sweet spot
