Old Finnbar Furrowbrow, by Tarkin Turfer

Old Finnbar Furrowbrow

by Tarkin Turfer

supported by

theexplodingogre A great dungeon synth release with flourishes that remind me of Raven Software's Hexen. Easily of my favorite releases in the genre. Favorite track: A Svirfneblin is Born.

Ropp Tarkin Turfer keeps widening his own path into the Dungeon Synth Realm. New sounds and figures refreshing a well-known and identifying style, Old Finnbar Furrowbrow feels as huge improvement over something that was already great.

Infinite Tapes Classic Turfer, the backbeat and excellent basslines keep the groove going while there's plenty of strings and horns riding on top, (including A TROMBONE). Excellent composition (especially those basslines) & a great example of narrative building in instrumental music. 10/10, *****, A+ Favorite track: Finnbar and Poloawonedar's Vast Trek Across the Doleful Desert to the Turquoise Temple.

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

Not a lot of dungeon synth albums I'm really enjoying. But this is certainly one of them. "Down a Dank, Mossy Stair" made me want to listen to the whole album more carefully. Needle Into A Bug
