mystagogus: Some "nature synth"

Hyperion1001 05.21.25	steve roach - dreamtime return is the ultimate nature synth album
Hawks 05.21.25	I gotta check 1 and 8 hard.
mystagogus 05.21.25	Thanks, haven't explored Roach's huge discog thoroughly yet, guess it's time to dive into classics.
RVAHC13 05.21.25	I second Roach. If you’re up for dark ambient you can never go wrong with Lustmord. I’d call him dungeon synth since he basically took field recordings from caves and underground crypts.
Hyperion1001 05.21.25	its an extremely rewarding discography, but dreamtime is probably the closest to what youre looking for with this list.
mystagogus 05.21.25	Thanks Hyperion, will check! Haha RVAHC I certainly know Lustmord but have always found Brian way too minimal to the point of being, how should I say it, less than exciting. But thanks for rec anyway!
normaloctagon 05.21.25	Gr8 list
mystagogus 05.21.25	Hawks yeah 1 is a must!
mystagogus 05.21.25	Whoa thanks for the feature, glad if you find something, enjoy guys!
RVAHC13 05.21.25	Oh sry lol. Well I guess you can give Max Corbacho’s Ars Lucis a try. His Nocturnes albums are more natural sounding but it looks like nobody has added them to his page yet.
mystagogus 05.21.25	Max Corbacho sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, thanks a lot!
RVAHC13 05.21.25	No thank you for all this new stuff to listen to
Butkuiss 05.22.25	Always looking for shit like this to sleep to, so thank you for the list! May I second Roach and Corbacho (though my Roach pick would be Mystic Chords) and also recommend Thom Brennan - Mist : ]
0xME 05.22.25	1 is one of my favourite albums I discovered back during my Dungeon Synth binge, always nice to see it get some recognition
budgie 05.22.25	5 is cool, same art as for all tid iirc its supposed to be a depiction of the land of Ys where king arthur goes in death or something. maybe avalon
budgie 05.22.25	oh no its camelot ok
0xME 05.22.25	you might enjoy Daniel Harris - Awaken Depressive Silence - Depressive Silence II Vinterdvala - Historien Om De Sju Trollgubbarna
mystagogus 05.22.25	Thanks Butkuiss! 0xME I've loved Finntroll and Moonsorrow since my teens but discovered this one the other week and it's on Sorvali level, top notch synth yeah.
mystagogus 05.22.25	Tried Depressive Silence recently but that felt too primitive/Casio for me, even though melodies are good but it's a bit too oldschool and "dungeon". Added anyway, thanks!
mystagogus 05.22.25	Yeah budgie 5 is my most favorite of late discoveries, synth with some personal touch don't know how to explain.
Muzz79 05.22.25	2 come to mind Elderwind - The Colder the Night Nelecc - The Stars Both excellent nature synth bm
mystagogus 05.22.25	Thanks Muzz, will check but I would prefer to keep this list BM-free for now, sorry and hope you don't mind.
0xME 05.22.25	not too surprised about your opinion on DS, but you should dig the other 2 more based on your description, especially 15
Sharenge 05.22.25	since I see Steve Roach been mentioned, guess I'll throw in the obligatory Robert Rich mention... not sure what to rec as a starting place... he has a collab with Lustmord who I see was also mentioned above, which if I remember correctly was my introduction to his works and is probably one of his works which receives the most attention - Stalker - inspired by and named after the Tarkovsky film (which also has a big nature theme)
jrlikestodance 05.22.25	Never heard of nature synth. Sounds heady
mystagogus 05.22.25	Haha yeah Roach and Rich always go hand in hand, I recall giving that collab with Lustmord a try years ago but it's time for one more attempt, thanks. I'm actually huge fan of Edward Artemiev who authored the original Stalker OST among other films by Tarkovsky, and it borders the synthy territory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY4WkvdN0ro
mystagogus 05.22.25	jrlikestodance that's why I keep all those "nature/winter synths" in quotes, yet the intention is to separate it from the "dungeon" stuff all Burzums and other Mortiises called "music".
TheSonomaDude 05.22.25	17 is great
DrGonzo1937 05.24.25	Love this. I’ll definitely check this out.
Egarran 05.24.25	Secludja - Stilled Solo EP from Steve Merry of Be'Lakor, is lovely.
Pho3nix 05.24.25	Nice list actually - I've had that Shire Oak release on my wish list forever, maybe today I will go through some of them and buy a bunch ^^ You need to czech 'Enchantment of the Ring' by Secret Stairways in case you haven't yet. It is considered a hallmark and a definitive release in the genre. Meadow Grove is a bit of a hit and miss for me. Örnatorpet is great, 'Hymner från Snökulla' being my fave release. Here are some of my faves in no particular order: https://satchelbearer.bandcamp.com/album/the-dead-leaves-strew-the-forest-walk (This one is pretty folk-y) https://myrrys.bandcamp.com/album/talven-reunalla (Another Finnish release, minimalistic autumn / winter synth) https://snowspire.bandcamp.com/album/solace-among-the-spruce-sorrow-among-the-snow (My go-to winter synth record) https://stenchovdeath.bandcamp.com/album/ursa-stories-of-the-bears (Bear-synth) https://auramerlin.bandcamp.com/album/3-swords (Simply, one of the best) https://forgottenghost.bandcamp.com/album/journeys-of-a-lone-wanderer (Mellow and folk-y) https://mystiskaskogen.bandcamp.com/album/mystiska-skogen (Perfection) https://allochnathir.bandcamp.com/album/the-emerald-grotto-2 (Nostalgic, romantic, Nordic) https://forestofyore.bandcamp.com/album/nature-and-solitude (Forest of Yore has to be included, a classic for me!) https://stenchovdeath.bandcamp.com/album/nibelung-the-lonely-wood (Extremely primitive, with field recording elements) https://neverwood.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-morning-of-the-world (Minimalistic) https://gladekeeper.bandcamp.com/album/yearntale (More of a comfy synth record, but still cute) https://heimatderkatastrophe.bandcamp.com/album/hdk-93-utflykter-i-den-svenska-skogen (Wild card... this is a weird one, but in a good way!)
mystagogus 05.24.25	Egarran added, thanks! Pho3enix thanks for a bag full of gems! Will add one by one once I get to them.
someone 05.25.25	prehistoric nature synth https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1211569&listid=192345
BallsToTheWall 05.25.25	Sold! 11/10 list.
mystagogus 05.25.25	someone yeah that's certainly a modern classic, I even genuinely like it but that's a bit different story. Pity the genre emerged after I started school though... Thanks Balls, enjoy!
garas 05.27.25	Oh my Lord. What a wonderful list. 100% approved.
garas 05.27.25	And I think you'd also enjoy Skarpseian - Fragmenter Av Trolldom.
mystagogus 05.27.25	Thanks a lot garas, appreciate it!
