@@unrealestaterecords7064 please DONT complement him on "his ears" THEY ARE MINE, HE STOLE THEM, AND I WANT THEM BACK. I BLOODYWELL CANT HEAR A SINGLE THING SINCE THAT FATEFUL DAY
Primal music is buried deep inside the subconscious mind & resonates within the body & mind.....Enjoy the astral journey into the void🌠..Greetings from the UK 🌏🙏
Your work introduced the dungeon synth genre to me. Love it ever since. When I first heard this album i got instant Age of Empires 2 vibes, which reminded me some very happy, carefree times... :) Thank you!
Greetz on this good & superb piece of art, dark blackened psychedelia, drifting away into oceans of coloured dreams.Thank you and like 👍🏼...the joint is optative and fits ok...
Absolutely beautiful. I'm an avid fan of both dungeon synth and sword and sorcery, and this perfectly blends the two in a way I've rarely heard before. Listening to these songs, I'm immediately transported into one of my favourite fictional worlds - be it the Hyborian Age, Lemuria, or anywhere else. Thank you, Ziggurath!
I'd love to do a crowd funded vinyl release of "Tales from Southern Realms" in the future... Maybe we'll finally get around to it in 2024, fingers crossed!
The great dome of the city seemed to slowly emerge from beneath the horizon as the sleek cutter from Daggerfall cuts through the cerulean waters on its approach to Sentinel harbour. You step up onto the prow, the air hot, humid, and salty. You reset the scabbard at your side to a more comfortable position, all the while hoping you won't need to take out the longsword held within...
The bird (some kind of whippoorwill, maybe?) in Assassins in the Courtyard confuses me every time :D Awesomely atmospheric tracks, consistently in my workday rotation these days!!!
Depression... long term unemployment... I can relate, amazing sound seems directly from the early 90 amiga videogames, thanks for uploading, and hope the artist get better
@@unrealestaterecords7064 Very much thanks for response. Is it any chance how to be in touch with artist? I love dungeon, I am also making this kind of music and also I love Iraq - I have visited this country 9 times like a tourist. I would like to share my experiences from this country with artist and also showing him my music. Thanks for any help.
This is beyond fantastic! That opening had some real Sierra point and click or DnD computer game vibes. In a good way! The rest is just getting better. I love the bio too, thanks for sharing. What would be the best way to support the artist?
I feel like a lost bedouin wandering trough an 8bits desert, contemplating the great Ziggurath mirage in the distance and feeling observed by the scorching sun that fills my head with fever dreams. As the wind blows my sanity away with the sand, some deep part of my delirious self realizes I am nothing more than a few trillions of electrons wandering trough silicon chips and microcontrollers, triggering light and sound signals out of the small console that is my universe. I will live in the memories and synapses of that small child marveling at their new game... When they get old and the nostalgia fades away along with the memories, I will be happy to return to the peaceful void.
This is well done! I've listened to all your work! It truly transports you just as well as all the classic game soundtracks. Perfect for reading, d&d and chilling out. What a great escape! Thanks and I wish you great success. Someone's going to give you a big break. Keep going, ✌ peace
I've been playing AoE 2 when this album came up on autoplay just moments ago. It really made an amazing soundtrack, especially as I've been playing Arabia map. I came here after the game, and I'm really glad to see others thinking the same.
@@unrealestaterecords7064 Nah. I just mean that the hebrew religion stole a lot from older mesopotamian relligions. The story of the tower of Babel is also an eccho from one or more much older stories. The hebrew version was composed when the jews were captives in Babylon and came across the older story through the culture they were exposed to. At that time the ziggurath in Babylon was perhaps in disrepair. On the basis of the older story (from Ur, not Babylon) and the fact that they saw a ziggurath in disrepair, they twisted the story to suit their own culture. They had an urge to poke fun at their captives, for sure, even though they were the elite and were not treated as slaves or such. That's why they mock the Babylonians for making the ziggurath, because Marduk was in competition with their own tribal God from Judea, YHWH. So if the ziggurath was in disrepair (Alexander the Great, I think repaired it at som time later actually), this would have been an easy target for mocking the babylonians and their "grandeur". Babylon was a city of trade, hence many languages were spoken there, which the hebrew verrsion of the story reflects in that God (YHWH) confuses the toungues of people of Babel. The hebrews did this all throughout history BC, nick others' mythologies and make it their own, the mesopotamians, the persians, the egyptians and others. Like the fact that king Solomon is really Shalamanezar III, a persian ruler. the temple of Solomon is really a temple Shalamanezar built for HIS God, Ashur, not that he was a jew building it for YHWH as Solomon, like the jews now believe because of their texts and tradition. But....excellent music...and...nice to see the mesopotamian reference in music.
This is beautiful. For my tastes, finding just the right fit in this genre is like balancing on knife-blade. Too melodic and produced and it sounds artificial and poppy. Too simple or slow and if the synths are too low quality and it's painful to listen to. This album strikes just that right balance. The broad musical ideas and retro synth take me to that fantastic place lost in time, but blessedly it is constructed with skill and structure so that it is musical and memorable and I want to finish listening.

8evt-v3pm is off the list. Cheers, this will accompany me during many a work hour and game session. Gonna take a look at the rest of your catalogue later, always nice to find a label which still has a roster you can actually check out entirely without being overwhelmed.
@@Niklas_r Yo! We just released the limited cassette editions of "Tales from Southern Realms" and "Jungle Majesty" on bandcamp: unrealestaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/jungle-majesty

This is great. I love the immersive atmopshere and textures. I particularly like 'Assassins in the Courtyard'. Liked and subscribed for more of what you're doing here.
All my last 50 hots girlfriends were fans of this genre, the dungeon synth/desert synth . And also the subgenres archo-dungeon synth, and heavy desert.
