The best thing about dungeon synth is when they put the tracks on cassette and the j-cards come with a mini dungeon or something. So rad.

For example, on instagram/bandcamp there's a great little label out of Italy that puts out dungeon synth cassettes: https://instagram.com/heimat_der_katastrophe?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I did not know this and now will have to order the cassettes. So thanks? Or maybe why did you do this to me, my poor wallet? 😂

Good luck! They're really limited run and sell out super fast. One day I'll get one, for now they stream/sell digitally on bandcamp too.

We've discussed before on Notes as our tastes overlap, Zack, and your playlist is awesome! Something you may find of interest from back when I thought I would make bank creating retrowave and synthwave playlist videos 🤣:

I'm still proud of the video animation and compilation, and love the music, but one was enough.

A gentleman of refined taste, I see. Some of these I’ll have to check out! I like Quest Master even if I have to shamefully admit that the album art is a big part of my total enjoyment of a DS record (or any music, let’s be honest) and theirs doesn’t quite do it for me. But the music is awesome!

How do you come by this amazing art? Do you have a dedicated artist?

We have secrets we cannot divulge.

It's Frank Kidd with his Midjourney-fu, though.
