Fantasy Music

I read a thread about fantasy music before, so I thought I should post this

Check this mailorder/label out, they are hosting Za Frûmi (the undisputed kings of the fantasy music scene). They even got samples from the upcoming albums YUM YUM

Thanks for the link! I had never heard of them before but I downloaded the samples, good stuff!

Their first two albums is about a group of orcs on an epic adventure involving a Vampire Lord, a boneclad shaman, human settlers, Enchanting gypsies etc.

The albums are recorded in "orcish" or "black tongue" so theres a translation in the booklet. Each album is a story that unfolds with each track so they are not separate tracks..

I hope that made sense

We use techno/trance as our character themes. Given our penchant for The Matrix style melee, it fits. DJ Micro's "Tech-mix" series kicks a$!

I know I push this every time game music comes up, but I heartily recommend using music by MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE. Best music ever for adventuring in creepy settings: dungeons, dark woods, whatever.

No discussion of fantasy music can go by without mention of Basil Poledouris's Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. It's the movie soundtrack against which all other are compared -- and it's used for other movies' trailers all the time.

By the way, can you still buy that soundtrack? I haven't had luck locating it online.

There was a thread on that recently. My suggestion was to buy it from Amazon UK. While you're at it, you should pick up some of the Fantasy Masterworks available in the UK -- especially The Conan Chronicles (and its second volume).

Conan soundtrack is good
