Philémon Stunning stuff, from the composition to the mix it's great,elaborate melodies and orchestration work really well here, and what an artwork ! Favorite track: Nomad Camp on the Edge of the Darkness.

darth_krampus Such a cool album, with a wide variety of styles and tones. Each track offers its own unique mood or color, providing a wonderful listening experience. Great for reading along with, or (increasingly in my case) to fold laundry to. Favorite track: The Citadel of Red Spinel.

𝔐𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔳𝔬𝔯𝔫 A beautifully executed album, from the cover to the fantasy storytelling, to the haunting sounds of organs and choir. Lowlander covers a wide range of musical ideas, leaving the listener eagerly awaiting what's next to come. Favorite track: Nocturnal Visitors.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature. emanuele127

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer. Bjorn
