If you're new to this type of music, download the introductory 3-disc compilation I made for my father's birthday here: mega.nz/#!K8AgGAYQ!drHWbi646tZ3t0DRQZleKbcMBzEeQClX1NzOMzAuETs

(((other Anons are invited to make and share their own introductory compilations)))

i love these threads but they always die so quickly it makes me sad.

Been listening to a lot of Rome on my way to work. Makes me sad but inspired.

I am actually very positively surprised how many replies they merit these days. Half a year ago most of the neofolk threads I made died without any sort of response while most others were met with hostility. Now there is discussion of music and all around good times to be had - even the politcal trolls seem to have subsided.

What did you listen to? I love Rome, although I didn't listen to them for some time now. From a technical, production and lyrical standpoint they are probably among the best neofolk has to offer.

To everyone interested in John Murphy:

This archive comprises all of Murphy's solo work (Shining Vril) gathered from many neofolk / post-industrial compilations and "All My Sins Remembered", a 2016 commemorative compilation made by friends and colleagues of Murphy featuring among others Nikolas Schreck, :Of The Wand And The Moon:, Blood Axis, SPK, Genocide Organ, Die Weisse Rose and Andrew King. Profits were donated to Murphy's wife to cover for medical and funeral expenses.

Some tastes of his work:

I very much recommend his and Nikolas Schreck's performance "In her thrall" for a demonstration of his capabilities as an improvising live musician:

i actually never saw any neofolk threads half a year ago so i didnt even know they were met with anger. good to see theres discussion.

a passage to rhodesia and Die Æsthetik der Herrschaftsfreiheit are probably my favorite Rome albums, with rhodesia being the one that gets me the most depressed. i still need to listen to more neofolk, probably my favorite genre. havent even checked out sol invictus and :of wand and the moon:

Cashmore's work with tibet is just so beautiful, I can't stop

listening to this whole album on the train out to boston yesterday, great stuff

Yeah, I highly recommend The Lone Descent from :Of Wand and the Moon:
It's got a similar kind of "big" sound that Rome can have, but also darker and moodier.
Among my favorite neo-folk albums with All the Pretty Horses and Flowers From Exile.

some more good tunes, more of the American side of the sound
