about
garadrak.bandcamp.com/album/cyclopean-sorrows
The weary traveler's decaying ship reaches barren shores of a mist covered land. He leaves the mountain hugged, rancid waters of the Northwestern sea behind and embarks on an unsure journey, recollecting the little he knows about this place.
Poisonous sea breeds poisonous air and distant volcanoes blow their smoky breath over the remains of a once prosperous kingdom. Trees grow rotten and few creatures call this place home. And they are inhuman beasts, twisted by what certain tales call the magic of giants; force no ordinary soul can truly master, for its melancholic nature leaves the mind and body strangely bent. Some even say the dead come back to life from time to time to roam the empty halls of decrepit palaces and crippled temples. Such is the fate and state of the kingdom called Kalegir, where cyclopean sorrows dwell.
Yet the traveler knows he must push forward and reach the fabled sanctum whose entrance is fronted by two pillars, each standing on a side of a narrow ravine; only then can he awaken the cloistered daughter and mourn. He is bound to face many dangers on his solitary journey but he is not the only stranger in this far away land in pursuit of a peculiar quest; an ally or two might be encountered whose company could ease the pain of feeling lost.

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure.

flies the coop II
by Hole Dwellersupported by 34 fans who also own “Cyclopean Sorrows”
My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition.
