Damn, this one goes back to when I still drank (shit, I still get high to it). Classic dark ambient that received universal acclaim upon first release. Oft billed as "medieval ambient", Asmorod's deal...not schtick, REAL deal...is creating feelings of paranormal places unseen, fused with the type of (equally as dark) soundtrack such realms would inspire. He's essentially making art films in his mind and sharing what the complete audio would sound like: intense slow repetition, the deepest and darkest synth, strange samples of intimidatingly mysterious tongues, corrosive explosions of distant feedback-texture or percolating swash of lost Lovecraftian lakeshores (at 4 a.m.), Derelict is incredibly rich in stories that each soundscape conjures. VERY enveloping, VERY enjoyable, VERY downloadable...
