Always take a look! 🔮
youtube has been showing me a lot of cool dungeon synth recently but again and again i am drawn inexorably back to the Orb
Thank you so much! It's such an honour to have one listen! I hope you find things each time along the journey.
I think I found the perfect music for my D&D location in cave ruins. Thanks, author, for this atmospheric masterpiece!
Ah the grandeur, brooding beauty and lurking danger of caves! Glad to be of service and thank you for your kind words 🔮
I still can't get over how good the intro track is dude. So fucking on point.
bro this cover art is amazing just like the music
Thank you my friend, very kind words and much appreciated.
This album is as beautiful as it is interesting, a mixture of fantasy and deep pondering. I look forward for more works! Your proyect is truly inspiring.
Very welcome words from one of my favourite artists of 2023. May we meet in the darkest and highest of towers
Yes!
I would definitely like to play a game with this music.
A dream within dreams that would be for me! 🌌🔮
Ah finally! After scoring many many dungeon synth albums and songs this one is just the exact atmosphere I was trying to find. It really evokes that 80's direct to video, animated swords and sorcery vibe that is just so nostalgic to me. Especially Marshes Under Starlight and Pool or mirrors! Amazingly put together and top quality in every way I can think of.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It is exactly people like yourself I was hoping to cross paths with looking unto the orb.
this is great. and you have the best project name.
Cheers dude, thanks for the listen it means a lot! The name came to me when I was conjuring in the shower randomly one day (sounds suss but isn't)
Good Tangerine Dream vibes from early eighties, love it
I was late to Tangerine Dream, but have made up for lost time. They are so great. Thanks so much for the listen.
Totally Awesome
Thank you! Really appreciate you saying that, my friend 🔮
Wow! this is so goood ! ! !
Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that 🔮
Merci à l'algorithme de UA-cam de me faire découvrir cette superbe création musicale
Merci aux dieux algorithmiques de nous avoir unis ! J'apprécie vraiment les mots gentils. 🔮
Tu peux écouter ma musique, je te conseille "it feels deep as the world" qui est ma meilleure mais "I don't understand" se rapproche davantage de l'esprit de cet album, tandis que "a groovy werewolf tale" est considéré comme dungeon synth par mes adeptes
Dayyymn these sounds son!
I'm glad they resonate with you! Thank you so much for listening, it means a lot to me 🔮
I keep coming back to this kind of counterintuitive weird place of safety 😄✨
Incredible.
Thanks so much for the listen! It means a lot
Very interesting! I like this ! Ty.
Amazing. Thanks for giving it a go, it means a lot 🔮
This is an excellent album that definitely reveals more of itself with repeated listenings. I enjoy how ambient sound effects are used in the cavernous sections, and it's not afraid to experiment with subtle, shifting melody. I hope Lurid Orb continues making music!
Thank you so much for these kind words. They mean a lot to me and I see you value the same things I do in this type of music. For me melody is to be worshipped and not shied away from in Dungeon Synth. More Lurid Orb to come for sure.
Thanks UA-cam recommendation. Just went with it. I love that friggin wizard! 🤘🧙♂️🤘
Thank you my friend, The Orb Wizard loves you back 🔮
THIS! This is the sort of wizardly music I've been hunting for ever since I found Mort Garson!!!
May Mort lurk in the sonic ether for eternity! Thank you for listening 🔮
🤘🏻😴🤘🏻Perfect👍🏻
This music painkiller for me!
Glad to be of Orbic service and thank you for listening, it means a lot.
Yeah dude love this. Pool of Mirrors is the winner - hands down. No word of a lie it feels like it could have been thrown into a scene from one of Panos Cosmatos' movies.
Wow this is an amazing compliment! I really appreciate it. Beyond the Black Rainbow and the Mandy have been big inspirations to me over the years! Amazing film-maker for sure.
Why must someone “win” why can’t we all be equal
I could see some of the Mandy, vintage sound style.
my personal favorite would be "killing a dual wielder" great album overall tho as well of course:)
@@bencarr8809 A beautiful question/ thought. Truly. I think it is because the competition of this fast moving dog eat dog world, will sadly never allow it. The Powers That Be. As long as there is money; there is divide. as long as there is peace, there is always war/ class divide, or sometimes the worst, bring religion into it. To try and justify their actions. somewhere on this earth. Everyday on this spinning Planet. There are many hidden joys & countless sorrows. who knows where they all goez. The duality of Life & the corruption at the top, does not allow this... they never did. In all centuries of human hierarchies, the world over. So many cultural differences. Such is Life & the ways of this diverse earth. Once, some ?.. they tried to make an Ideology that promised this for many... then it all went terribly wrong. Because True Reality has no script. Only lessons from the past to be learned from. imho. ~Take care wanderer.
Dope.
Moar.
Thank you good sir of Orbs. It means a lot.
Excellent stuff
Thanks for the listen, Orb Friend.
Love, love, love this Dungeon Synth, best I have heard so far! Also the album art is fucking sick!
Thank you so much! Your words mean all the worlds to me.

AWESOME
Thanks for listening, it means a lot! 🔮
Crucial release

That is an insanely generous compliment. Wow. Thank you for listening. 🔮
Good stuff! 😊
Thank you! Really appreciate that mate. 🔮
Very atmospheric. Really helped me focus on my tomes and incantations.
I hope you conjured up something nice? Thanks for listening! 🔮
Very good stuff
Thank you friend of the Orb. It means a lot to me.
This is excellent 10/10 Amazing cover art aswell, you've done very good.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind and words! It means a lot. The Orbic Order hails you!🔮
Sign me up for a vinyl and/or cassette of this!!
I need this on physical media!
Coming very soon! Jump on the social links (either bandcamp or instagram) to keep an orbic eye on things! Thanks for listening, it means a lot. 🔮
Wonderful album, perfectly evocative, and watching your process on instagram was enthralling and inspiring.
Thank you so much for listening and also for going to the effort to seek that out. I really appreciate it dude. 🔮
Excellent album! ✨
Thank you kindly, it means a lot, my friend. And here's to all your awesome DS work too ⚔🔮
I see a wizard, I hear wizarding, I subscribe
Doffs wizard hat to fellow wizard. Many thanks!🔮
Its so hard to stay at work with this on. I sat in my chair and left my body to this far off land you have created. Absolutely incredible. Phenomenal album
Thank you my friend! That really means a lot to me :-) 🔮
We of like-mind rejoice
I rejoice at your comment! Thanks for listening 🔮
This is outstanding, imaginative and creative.
Thank you! That means a lot to me 🔮
This was breathtakingly good. An entire world unfolded in my mind. Just after the first listen this has to be one of my favourite albums. PLEEEEASEE keep making more if you want to! I can't capture the right words to say how good this music is, but ya its really good and has excellent storytelling.
You are very, very kind to write these things! I'm glad you liked it. I am now bloodoath-bound within to create these sounds until I can Orb no more. I already have concepts for two more albums in the wings. I'm glad you enjoyed the story-telling element within my work, that is probably one of the most fun things to deal with around it. Seriously these sort of words make this often isolated process worth it. 🔮
This is some magic going on here.
Thank you, I'm glad you got something out of it. Conjure well, my friend! 🔮
@@Lurid_Orbcast the spell, let the Earth breath underneath.
Bump the algo for the brother, much love
I don't always go in for the New Masters, but in this case it served us well. I'm glad you liked it 🔮
love
Many thanks 🔮
The ending got me cookin in the cauldron rn. For real, this is some amazingly crafted art. So much rich space and the instruments are all wonderfully placed throughout the stereo. The tones have such an aesthetic to them, it’s like they are all connected together in the mix. Thank you, this is great and I can’t wait to hear more
Cookin in the cauldron lmao
I hope you bubbled up something good? I'm still working on my Cursed Rat with Fortitudal Insight recipe. Oh and thanks for the listen, I really appreciate your kind words! 🔮
Doinng the good now
Awesome!!
Thank you my friend, I really appreciate that 🔮
I love this. Very good work. You have done an exceptional job creating this.
Thank you so much for saying that. I'm glad we could travel the inner Orb together 🔮
The switch of tone and mood from Unto the Calling to MArch of the Bright Blades is exhilarating. chef kiss~
Glad you enjoyed the sounds and thank you for listening! 🔮
Absolutely incredible! 🔮
Yo this is some seriously great stuff. I’m blown away
Thank you I really appreciate that, mate! 🔮
Hey just wanted to say great work the whole albumn felt like one big connected story .and i just had to say marshes under starlight was my favorite those synths vibrate so nice you cant play it loud enough .its the kind of track that penetrates the soul thanks for the great music
Thank you! The whole album was narratively written out in small concept scenes and stories before I worked on the music, so it's amazing you picked that up as it was exactly what I was hoping for. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for writing, it means a lot :-)
@Lurid Orb im gonna grab your albumn from bandcamp not sure if your into sega genesis ost but this is one of my favorites your albumn reminded me of this right away very dungeon melodic like your doing some seriuos questing
ua-cam.com/video/DxrllRDbrNc/v-deo.html
@@ecampbell1285 Thanks for the support, honestly I really, really appreciate it! Game questing of all generations is front and centre within Lurid Orb's genisis (pardon the pun)...but I must admit I hadn't heard this soundtrack?! I really loved it though and will give the entire thing a good going over for the next couple days. Great melodies in there and awesome sounds. **Raises a wizarding staff and cup to you**
@@Lurid_Orbthat is so sick. Very apparent
This is awesome
Thanks so much! Cheers for the listen, it means a lot 🔮
Very good 🍄
Thank you! Orbs and mushrooms, name a better combo.
So far this is the only dungeon synth I've genuinely listened to for more than a couple of minutes, and its amazing
I'm glad you got something out of it, it means a lot. Thanks for listening 🔮
Greetings from Finland! Great music and wonderful athmosphere! :)
Thank you so much. I dream to see your vast landscapes one day. 🔮
When you like the ponderin way to much!🧙♂🔮🐙
Thanks for listening and never stop pondering 🔮
So I accidentally listened to this at 2x speed the first time, thought it wasn't great, now listening at the normal speed its very good lol
I'm sorry the time orb treated you like that. I'll have a word to the boss. Thank you for the relisten!
feels like the proper 80's interpretation of fantasy with art that looks like it came out of the old magic the gathering cards or the D&D magazines. Awesome stuff, hope to see more eventually!
You are bang on target. That is where Lurid Orb first emerged from. Thanks for listening. 🔮
What did I just find? Brilliant!
Thanks for listening, it means a lot! 🔮
Wicked tasty!
Thank you my friend 🔮
absolute killer album cover
Thank you! That means a lot that people care for this stuff. I really enjoyed painting it 🔮
This is tight af. Simultaneously nostalgic for something I experienced and something i didn't. I hope this was recommended to me because you're popping off.
Either way, immediately saved. Love the album's cohesiveness. All the songs shared a sound but also had an identity. And the transitions are great.
I think my favorites were Minions Are Spotted and Marshes Under Twilight.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the thought of your comments, I find them inspiring! The points you brought up were all a big elements of focus in arranging the album🔮
Anemoia is the term for that. (Nostalgia for something you haven't experienced) It's one of my favorite words 😊
@@pacificnorthwet Woah! I'm amazed there's such a term. Thanks for informing me. I love that
6k views? My fellow human being you have done an outstanding job on creating a vibe here. This shit goes ultra hard.
From one Orbic traveller of the aeonic planes to another, I say many thanks to you and appreciate the listen! 🔮
This is really good I love the album cover as well cool design 👍
Really appreciate that, friend! It means a lot to me
The end of "Unto the Calling" is amazing
Thank you my friend! I really appreciate the ear. Long may we Orb together 🔮
Humans are good at expressing themselves in a musical way.
I love this comment for many reasons. Thank you for listening! Lets hope we can create for many ages longer...🔮
🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️❤❤❤
Woahhhhhh
Thank you for the listen my friend 🔮

Never heard of them, they any good?

Killing a Dual Wielder
Killed it
Thank you might friend! May the two-handed weapon rule once more! 🔮
Sounds like Dungeon Synth and Faux 80's synth had a kid
Cheers for listening my friend. Orb well 🔮
Branching paths brought me here..
Love me a bit of Branching Paths. Thanks for the listen
This feels like a twisted alternate version of The Council of Trees
Are you talking the Castleseige album? I love that album to death. Thanks for listening! 🔮
i think the same frien! i love that album
Once I got to 11:00 I was completely engrossed in whatever I was doing - lost track of my place in time for the day I guess.
Thank you for listening! It means a lot. One of my personal favourite parts 🔮
I have been chosen by the almighty algorithm 🐦

Strongest spell of 2023.
You're too kind, it means a lot to have you listen! There's a lot of seriously good/demon level conjuring going on at the moment. 🔮
Formidable, Eddie Jobson et son album "Themes of secrets" m'a amené là
An amazing new age release that. Thanks for listening, it means a lot! 🔮
This album is truly amazing. It feels like it's showing me dark visions of a long dead time that is somehow yet to come. Also just really sick fantasy music.
Edit: I want you to know that I literally listen to this album every day and often multiple times a day. It has very quickly become my favorite album.
Thank you kindly. I really appreciate the listen. That vision you talk of is known as the Eye of the Fold for those of the orbic know. You can only achieve it with the right type of hat. The trees just laugh at us. I don't mind them though, they're all good.
Dark visions of a long dead time that is somehow yet to come is a such perfect encapsulation of the paradoxical, ethereal, elegiac themes of dungeon synth.
@Lurid_Orb what is the eye of the fold?
@@Nefermose I whole-heartedly agree!
@@caseypalmateer4515 When one sees all possibilities of the olds within the Times all at once and make it out with their own perceptive vision of their world intact. It is a tough path and very few can truly claim it as part of themselves.
Sin duda alguna es por este tipo de cosas que uno se desvela a las 2:00 a.m para encontrar estás joyas ocultas en la plataforma, Gracias algoritmo de UA-cam y a Lurid Orb por este Álbum.
Espero que meu Translator Orb esteja funcionando corretamente aqui, mas muito obrigado! Muito amor para você e obrigado por ouvir, estou feliz que você tirou algo disso. 🔮
@@Lurid_Orb Thank you Lurid Orb, although the comment was actually in Brazilian and I'm from Mexico haha.... (I recommend you to use the "Deepl translator" it might help you my friend) But don't worry I understood what you said and I really appreciate it man, good luck in the next albums and I wish you the best.
@@SavanBerry Oh no how embarrassing! I tried and failed haha! I will definitely put that tool to use. Thanks very much and again cheers for listening!
@@Lurid_Orb No problem and Thanks/Gracias.
Keep waiting for he first part to break into that old Deathrow song raging steel \m/
Well thank you for showing me a great new band I had missed! What an intro that had! 🔮
Pool of Mirrors has the vibe of that studio ghibli movie "Nausicaa of the valley of the wind", real good job man much respect
I posess that manga and Miyazaki is one of my Elder God level influences on many levels. Thanks for listening! 🔮
@@Lurid_Orb Amazing influence! Looking forward to your next production, keep up the good work
Me when I ponder my orb
The orb needs not pondering, but allegience. Thanks for listening my friend :-)
don't mind me i'm just here to Ponder my Lurid Orb
I have pondered and I love it. Particularly Foul Minions and the closing track. 🔮
after further pondering i also love the first track and all of the other ones
Thank you, friend! You have found allegiance within the orb I see. It is greatly appreciated. Take care
Now I must acquire the garish scepter and defeat the bonemother
I like to listen to this while I stare out across a snow-laden field. Agartha calls
Replies like this very much are amazing to me and give me a reason to create music. Thank you so much. I live in a hot and tropical world down here in Australia and it's really incredible to see how things reverberate in different parts of the world. Appreciate the listen and may the omens harken unto the Gods of the Deep and Under. 🔮
Dude tried opening his 3rd eye with the Loc-Nar
A much misunderstood and misrepresented member of the Orbic family. 🔮
Anywhere to buy a physical copy? Love this!
Thanks for listening my friend! Really appreciate that. Physical copies, shirts and merch currently being sorted as we speak. Probably the best way to keep an eye on this is to follow me on the bandcamp or instagram links I've just popped into the vid description. 🔮
@@Lurid_Orb Nice one! Just followed.
you have serious talent. the atmosphere is unreal. also, are you a morrowind fan by any chance? the landscape in the cover gives insane vvardenfell vibes. Huge love from Georgia, USA
I proposed to my partner on a lake to Jeremy Soule's work Phantasos, so you could say he is very special to me! All of his work is incredible and a huge influence. Thank you such much for listening!🔮
We love casting spells
That we do, thank you!
Took me a moment to realize THAT WIZARD IS A REPTILIAN 😱😱😱
Damn I thought he was just old as hell and had cast one too many backfiring spells
It seems our friend has dabbled in the dark arts of the Draconian tomes once to many. All faces are valued within the Orb. The eldest ways are woven with scales and forked-tongues
you should make music for video games
Thank you, you are too kind! I would love to. Know any devs?
@@Lurid_Orb no, sorry...
The name “killing a dual wielder” is hilarious
Glad we could share some fun together. Thanks for listening 🔮
😢😢😢😢
Thank you for listening! I hope you're ok? 🔮
"March of the bright blades" - I'm guessing inspired partly by ZeroZeroZero soundtrack/Mogwai?
I'm actually not that across Mogwai, though I will check this out. I didn't know they had done soundtrack work! Very interesting! Thanks for listening 🔮
Woah this is great stuff! Thanks for the unwitting recommendation!
@@Lurid_Orb Oh nice, I'm glad you like it! I just couldn't help but notice that the buzzing note comprising the theme of "March" is the same as the one on the track "Nose Pints" in that album. Heh. Great minds I guess
Wizards and weed
You should try a bit of the orb, you'll never go back Thanks for the listen dude
