    The word magical gets tossed around a lot in this community, and rightfully so, it's the only word to truly fit so much of the music we love. But this, THIS album here, it's the very definition of the word. I'd even go so far as to say that this one is down right enchanting, weaving a fabric of emotion to your very soul.
    In other words, I fucking love it

    Sword & Circuitry, developed by Quest Master Games, was released in 1996. It was a team-based RPG originally intended to be based on 2nd Edition AD&D and set in one of its campaing settings (possibly Greyhawk), but after a failure to obtain the license it morphed into an original IP mixing high fantasy with cyberpunk elements. An intricate and ambitious plot followed a group of archetypical fantasy heroes facing an invasion of cybernetic creatures and techno-mages, and increasing evidence suggesting they may all be just players trapped in a virtual reality simulation. The game received high praise, but sales were low, and a planned sequel, Sword & Circuitry 2: Binary Spells, was cancelled in 1997. In later years the game gained a cult status, along with its award-winning soundtrack.

      Love the lore!! I wish I was in that parallel dimension in 1996. I would've played that game if it existed in our dimension. Hey, at least we have the soundtrack, which is great, btw! 🙂

      @Brejan That's actually a really good premise, and very realistic lore. "Binary Spells" is also just an awesome name for a game or song. Well done! Would you mind if I nab that for my D&D game?

    Escaflowne..
    Definitely anime.
    Idk much about this stuff history wise tho I create sound scape of my own...I'd guess QM is British or American...
    If anyone knows of the Legend of Dragoon OST there are so.e tracks very very similar tone.
    Is this all pc and Mac made midi stuff...I say mostly cuz of the over all vibe and reverbs.

    A bit of a surprise, to be sure, for Quest Master to boldly venture into this new direction, reaching for a more postmodern mishmash of an aesthetic. I half-expected them to produce another instant classic from the “Twelve” series (“The Twelve Ruins” perhaps? Or maybe “The Twelve Villages”?), but this is something different. And I enjoy it for what it is, even if the rhythms of the dark fantasy that defined their previous works will probably stay with me longer than this intriguing techno-fantasy thing.
