Some time ago I posted a playlist of tracks from the game Total Annihilation: Kingdoms so that people could have some themed background music to listen to as they played Talisman or other games with a fantasy flavour.
Earlier last year I came across a site, run by composer David Allen Young of Forever Young Music, offering a couple of fabulous albums with music to suit any fantasy gaming group, under the banner of Dronolan's Tower.
The albums, which both feature over an hour of stirring tunes, work very well in setting the scene for an epic game. If you visit the Dronolan's Tower website, you will be able to listen to some examples and see for yourself.
Of particular interest is the first track on the latest album, Journeys In Darkness Volume 1: Those Who Dwell Beneath. The track can be listened to in full below and may sound a little familiar to some of you.
The track is based on some work undertaken by David for Big Rooster LLC, when he was asked to supply the music for the (now cancelled) video game version of Talisman: The Magical Quest Game, which was due to be released by Capcom.
Although I am quite sad that the game was not completed, I am pleased that David retained the rights to his compositions and was able to use them in other projects so that people are able to enjoy them.
