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: mega.nz/#!fswDRSBJ!ijbzN0xh8dV5Z2AazgcEelMAYnb2kS9uk-0NX95xWRg
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.
I very much recommend his and Nikolas Schreck's performance "In her thrall" for a demonstration of his capabilities as an improvising live musician: youtube.com/watch?v=LHKft53rJzI

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:
another good one youtube.com/watch?v=Ic_KKMSfufA listening to this whole album on the train out to boston yesterday, great stuff
Noah Bailey
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.
ill have to give that a listen then, downloading now. any other reccs if my fav neofolk albums are the rome albums i mentioned along with "thunder perfect mind" and "Neuschwabenland"
