A Dungeon In The Tundra
Why have you gone so far, into this desolate and inhospitable land? What can be buried under this frozen earth? The legends of the nomadic peoples, some rumors of the miners, a strange dream, so vivid... the last outpost was a ruined tower dating back to a war no one remembers anymore.

Hdk Dungeon-synth Magazine # 4
* Limited to 200 copies Pro-dubbed solid yellow cassette + 28 pages booklet * Happy Halloween! With the fourth chapter of this project we experience the classic formula of “scary tales” like in many horror movies of the 80s! Short and terrifying stories, in the best tradition of exploitation. How do you “scare” with music? There are many different approaches: you can work on the timbre of sounds, creating disturbing and alien sound waves that send shivers down your spine. Or weave dark and sinis…
The Fortress Of Kruglach
* Limited Edition to 200 copies This is the soundtrack of the omonymous adventure published in “Proteus” Magazine (U.K.) in year 1986. * In the elder days, beyond the ancient forest of Regnad, the evil Sorcerer Kruglach built for himself a mighty fortress of stone. He retreated into this, to experiment with dark and terrible enchantments, and a fear fell upon the land. The people were afflicted with plague and pestilence; animals and children vanished from their homes at dead of night; and th…
Beyond The Silvered Pane
Your host for this dungeon is that cheerful mercantile dwarf, Marcelanius the Fair. And fair he is, if you are fair with him. Those who try to cheat him find he swings a mean war hammer. After purchasing an old mirror (which proved to be the entrance to many separate planes of existence), he saw a chance to make some money off current dungeon-delving craze and developed his Looking Glass Dungeon (no cracks about Alice in Wonderland)". Thus in 1978 the adventure "Beyond the silvered pane", a mod…
Яркаятьма - In The Bright Darkness
Creutzfeldt Jakobs is a strange instrumental pop band from Malmo, Sweden; their music is "inspired by old BBC-soundtracks and early 80´s balkan-synth scene, composed and recorded using old synths, tape decks and other forms of obsolete technology"; their songs talk about the history of the Soviet Union, with particular interest for the Perestroika-era. Well, something bizarre enough to make us fall in love immediately! "In the bright darkness" is a romantic concept album about the illusions, dr…

Atmospheres (LP)
"Atmospheres” is one of his most interesting Piero Umiliani's albums, published in a limited edition in the mid-Seventies. A period of musical confusion even though not for him, who had always been eclectic. The charming soundtracks for Luigi Scattini's documentaries were already behind him, as was the great orchestral jazz production: his career had already been long and full of professional satisfactions. The present for the composer consisted of the scores for a number of Italian comedies and…

Husk The Mountains (Tape)
Under a slip of a moon that hung in the air like a clipped fingernail, Pontiff Erasmus honoured the heavens by donning a capirote that forever pointed upward to the grand abyss. It was by the Order of the Osiris Triad that the people of Maypyre were to be put to death, and the Pontiff honoured this request. He opened the Shadesbourne and read from the rotten pages therein.
From incantation to action his words became as mists which formed the creature that would devour Maypyre, its people, its li…
Valvole (LP)
Ugo Busoni's “Valvole” is a classic example of the so-called library music records released in Italy (as in the rest of the world) in order to provide 'background music' to be used in the editing of news broadcasts, radio and newsreels. These were records made by highly experienced composers and musicians who, in a very short time and with limited or non-existent budgets, had to make music to be synchronized to images. For obvious reasons, they had to be tracks of short duration, characterized b…
