Forgotten Pathways is a German dungeon synth project that stands out in comparison to its contemporaries. While the majority of dungeon synth artists have a lo fi haze floating through their production, A Long Way Home, the debut from Forgotten Pathways, shines with deep, full sounding atmosphere. While this aspect takes away some of the charm of dungeon synth, the ability to transport the listener into a space is still present. Entirely concerned with folklore and fairytales, A Long Way Home quickly becomes one of the more accessible releases I have seen to date and could possibly allow an interesting entry point for newcomers into the genre. Full of life and shrouded in magic, Forgotten Pathways is certainly ready for people to enjoy chasing after fairies by moonlight. (more..)
