about
“This is the Memory.
When you are about to die, you will go to the spacious halls of Hades;
a spring is on the right, and by it stands a bright cypress tree;
there the descending souls of the dead refresh themselves.
Do not go near to this spring at all.
Further on you will find, from the lake of Memory,
refreshing water flowing forth. But guardians are nearby.
They will ask you, with sharp minds,
what you seek in the misty shadow of Hades.
Say: ʺI am the child of Earth and starry Heaven;
and I am parched with thirst and I perish; but give me quickly
refreshing water to drink from the lake of Memory.ʺ
And then they will speak to the underworld king,
and then they will give you to drink from the lake of Memory,
and you, having drunk, will go along the sacred road that the
other famed initiates and bacchics travel.”
- from the Orphic Tablets.

-
The Ghosts of Ancient Kings
by SkeldSkeld crafted one of my favourite releases of all time by making these beautifully oppressive and subtle atmospheres. "Runesword" is a masterpiece.

Hidden Passage
by Hidden PassageA true gem of a release. Very understated, minimal, and yet somehow huge. Meditative dungeon synth at its finest!
go to album -
A wonderful musical journey that feels vast in scale and yet simple in its approach. Truly evocative of a solitary journey through space and time.

Love this album and everything else Ghoëst has out. I bought the DDDP discography at the crazy discount it's being sold for, put it in a playlist and have it on random. It's an insane amount of great music!

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

Deep ambient tracks that feel like swimming down into the ocean, light fading and marvelous new worlds appearing.
