Dark and elegantI purchased this somewhat expecting a campy but spooky background music CD. I was really hoping that I would not be bombarded with new age synth music and cheesy effects. I wasn't.
There is nothing cheap or cheesy here. This recording is an integrated sound experience which can set a dark atmosphere very appropriate for haunted houses or halloween get togethers.
However, it also stands well on its own as a listening experience. It seems well constructed from beginning to end and actually does tell a story in sound.
If you are looking for a good halloween CD which holds its own weight and provides a beautiful experience, this is a good choice.Happy Halloween!If you're looking for scary music to set the mood for Halloween, then this is exactly what you need. Don't get those CDs from wal-mart that are 3 bucks or whatever, they sound like teenagers having too much fun with the computer. Anything by Midnight Syndicate is 100% professional, and the bestest, scariest, ambient horrific music. It's so good, I listen to it year round. My sister is a teacher and plays it all October long anytime the kids are doing an assignment or during a blank moment. It's scary, but not demonic. I love Halloween, but I don't think demonic voices make the best atmosphere.
"Haunted Nursery" happens to be my favorite, "Something Wicked", "Darkness Descends", and "Masque of Sorrow" are also brilliant.
I really like this album by Midnight Syndicate, but anything by them is really good. Each one is differently themed, so it might be fun to buy all of them and put them on shuffle. Gates of Delirium is Insane Asylum themed, and Vampyre: Symphonies from the Crypt is almost romantic, in an errie way, of course. born of the nighthello fright fans all i have to say is wow what an awsome cd so scary it'll put the hair on your back straight up the song i like is gargoyles so hypnotic don't you agree?it reminds me of a place far away beconing me to come back. I like their music |
