about

We grew up with science fiction and fantasy books, comics and films. Much fantasy is rooted in mythologies, legends and old religions of northern Europe in particular. The races of JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth, particularly elves and dwarves, were not derived from twee Victorian-era fairy tales but were drawn from Norse, Saxon, Celtic and Old English mythology and legends. With this collection of tunes, we've tried to capture a little of that legacy, exploring where ancient tales and modern fantasy share some common tropes. This collection works like an old fashioned album - you can listen right through from start to finish and it'll take you on a journey. Or not. You can do whatever you like!

PLEASE NOTE: each track has its own individual artwork and a video.

Mountain Specters
by Ithildin Tape Production

supported by 5 fans who also own “Halls of Stone”

For such a prolific artist, the consistent quality of releases in Elminster’s catalog is truly impressive. Mountain Specter takes the listener on a pensive trek through fogbathed forests and misty crags. Soft dreamy pads and sparse plucked strings leave plenty of space for the mind to wander. mahrgdidj
