AndyW I am very pleased that there is a new sign of life from this exceptional artist. I like this music and, of course, Tolkien's works. I can highly recommend the album and look forward to perhaps experiencing it live one day. Favorite track: Act V - Born from the Ashes: The First of the Nazgûl.

evie This album is so enchanting. I was not entirely sure what to expect going in, but I was astounded with this whole thing start to finish. Absolutely magical, epic and heartfelt. This is the embodiment of the true power of fantasy synth music and its ability to take us to new worlds.

The Mighty Sorcerer It's so immersive and well crafted that it made me cry emotionally at some point. That's all I have to say about this album. Favorite track: Act VI - Tyalë Elda: The Call of the Undying Lands.

Nickie Harte Kelly Neomedieval folk dungeon synth from an anonymous Salt Lake City composer and musician. There are no credits, but obviously, synths play a part in creating the imaginary worlds this artist conjures up. Plenty of plinkiness here, in a most delightful way, could be harp, harpsichord, or hammered dulcimer, or maybe all three. Let yourself be enchanted. Favorite track: The Knight Of The Elves Blows His Horn.

iokanaan Encore une masterclass pour ce bon vieux Fief ! A écouter sans modération :) Favorite track: Moss Shod Battlements.

Dave Aftandilian Enchanting melodies that carry the listener far beyond the mundane to explore worlds of starry-sparkling magic and mystery. I love the almost hammer dulcimer-like percussive feel to the keyboards, and appreciate even more the lightness listening to them brings my spirit in these dark end of empire days.

Toxic Positivity genreless perfection. filled with unexpected changes yet familiar moments of joy. one of the best electronic albums ever made Favorite track: To The God Named Dream.

Arpad Okay this is the sunrise heralding the end of an all-nighter. gentle cinematic victorious afterglow that melts pop songs over a video game skillet. the driving, head bobbing, big smile jams are all assembled from club music parts, but the vibe bounces from track to track, half of it beat generation midtempo steps and half of it gothy snes vaporwave. a sonic treat. reverb and precision. clean without being slick. a lot of personality but consistently focused on a sonic target. musical storytelling Favorite track: Hexagon Of Death.

Molly When I listen to this album, my heart sings back in reply. Favorite track: The End Is Now.

lapislantern It's become a bit of a ritual for me to listen to this whenever I take the train away from my childhood home, so it's become an emotional album for me. Every time I'm struck by the immersion, the storytelling, the sheer range... Favorite track: Saddest Worm Ever.

_futant It's my favourite album in a long time... hard to pick a track. Saddest Worm Ever maybe? The Worm? Wyrmlands? They're the obvious choices. But the sad songs have me crying and the ending has me on my knees praying to a god I don't believe in. I love the concept, I love the callbacks to War of the Worlds and Nina Simone, I just love it. I also love its brevity - means listening twice through always happens. EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH
