Dungeon Synth Compendium

Post by kaptaincarbon on Dec 20, 2016 7:51:43 GMT -5
So I have been updating this REDDIT list for a year with all of the new stuff I have found and recently I noticed that I have only about 1000 characters left in the post. This is for my own archives but if it is a help to anyone or anyone wants to help me organize by type, I am open for suggestions. The artists on here were based on the things I wrote about from 2015-2016 and that I found during that time. The code I need to switch over and if it becomes manageable, Ill probably just update this list for 2017. Much thanks to the channel Dungeon Synth Archives for having a lot of the early albums for linking. I also changed the name to Dungeon Synth Compendium as not to be confused with The Dungeon Synth Archives.
