Darkened Soul is known for lush, soulful soundscapes that are, well, dark. While "Dreamscapes" is definitely plenty dark for any fan of the genre to enjoy, it easily evades the trap of unlistenability that dark ambience too often falls into. Indeed, this is an extremely approachable album for any fan of ambient music... Keywords: ambient; electronic; drone; abstract; dark ambient Downloads: 282 Average rating: (0 review) |

But the wait has been very much worth it. Mike's latest chapter in the Darkened Soul series, entitled "Seasons of Dark and Light", is a gorgeous and deep collection of moderately dark ambient music.

The twenty musicians of Different Skies were euphoric after an extremely successful set of rehearsals that day, and a powerful set of jams the previous night.
