    Just for the Record, no pun intended, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the artwork and design of this album. Dave Law of SMD took care of that, I only provided the music. However, I do hold my hands up to producing some pretty dire art of my own for the early tapes. Lol still, we all have to start somewhere.
    Go care-lessly

      The energetic 80's action beats really make his stuff stand apart from most other dungeon synth. It's really awesome!

      Yes, I totally agree. It's very sad that he renounced his music as satanic and became a born-again Christian and *okay* landscape painter.

      Too bad he prefers painting clearly. (Whatever makes him happy, I guess)

    Weird. I own the Korg Minilogue XD and anyone who has played with it knows what the 1st preset patch on it sounds like. Well, today I fooled around with it wondering how the Cyberpunk type vibes would work in context with Dungeon Synth. Gloomy hi-tech type melodies, with hints to high pitched tensions and clandestine drama. I thought to myself "Wow, this must be some original type of shit that I'm playing here. Cyberpunk Dungeon Synth from inside towering scyscrapers and underground maximum security vaults!". Then I logged to TH-cam and heard Jim Kirkwood's The Mad God from one of my favorite channels... Dude combined Terminators world to Dungeon Synth genre already back when I was still listening how Norwegian's were screaming about burning churches. 🕸🤖🕸
    Edit: Just finished listening the whole album. It's the same Dungeon Synth Cyberpunk madness from start to begining. Brilliant!
