Style: dungeon synth
Primary Emotions/Themes: a soundtrack to a game that was never made
Thoughts: Dungeon synth strikes again. Another entry into this amazing genre that has a very distinct feel from any of the others in my collection. Pauldron has created for all intents and purposes a video game soundtrack... only the game was never released.
Every track on here has a distinct feel, like it is meant to paint a picture of a specific place. Sleepy Fishing Village sounds exactly like that with the incoming waves and simple melodies. A Magic Seal in the Tangled Forest sounds exactly like you would expect it to... picture a foggy forest in a 16 bit RPG. Enter the Temple has a Zelda-esque feel to it with a bit of ominous overtones. Guarded Hallways is tense as if expecting a battle. The track list goes on and on.
I haven't heard anything else from this project. To my knowledge they have released two other albums that I am very curious to check out soon. Hopefully they live up to the standard set by Under a Reptilian Moon.
