Editing Approved Music (section)

==Folk==
*'''Comus - First Utterance''': Folk-prog that's dark as fuck, covering topics such as [[rape]], [[murder]] and [[heresy]]. This album is special though in that every single song on it seems to relish how evil it gets. If you need to get into character next time you play an evil alignment, this is the one.

*'''Current 93''': David Tibet's Neofolk spoken-word outfit. Definitely not a band for everyone. Much of the dark and folky tones of the music, on top of David Tibet's surreal and dream-like poetry gives this music something of a psychedelic medieval vibe. A good portion of the imagery here in the words could also be easily appropriated into a DnD game, should the DM wish it.

*'''Heino''': This isn't so much a recommendation as a warning, because Heino is a fucking meme.  ''Blau blüht der Enzian'' is basically the German version of a Rick-roll.  The guy was born in '38 and started playing accordion to eat after the war, and then became effectively THE voice of West Germany; at over 50 million albums sold he's the most successful German musician in history, beating the shit out of Rammstein.  He's blond to the point of being albino and he [[meme|wears sunglasses in the dark]].  If you've clicked on a German video in youtube expecting death metal and got folk music instead (probably still WITH the death metal visuals), you've been Heino'ed. 

*'''Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea''': IT'S A POTATO!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOU JESUUUUUUUUUUS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!! SEMEN STAINS THE MOUNTAINTOPS!!!!! This album is the rosetta stone that will help you decode /mu/ should you ever feel yourself patrician enough to enter such a [[magical realm]]. Though on the surface it may seem like esoteric hipster trash, give it a few listens, and it soon becomes an incredibly engrossing and heartfelt album that has been known to make grown men cry. Seriously, there is a reason /mu/ goes so crazy over this shit.

*'''Joanna Newsom - Ys''': Though her voice may put some off, the music and lyricism of this album is well worth it. Articulate and poetic lyrics with lots of metaphor and allegory, and long-form songwriting combined with classical-style production makes this album sound like something out of a fairy-tale or a Tolkien novel, and is thus a perfect mood setter for any fantasy game.

*'''John Fahey - America, Fare Forward Voyagers''': The guy that turned finger-style blues/folk guitar into an art-form. His best songs are long and effortlessly incorporate classical composition stylings mixed with the free sound of improvisation, as well as a lot of blues and folk scales and styles. A lot of his stuff is truly epic in its length and ambition, and is definitely worth a listen if you're a blues guitar fan.

*'''Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day''': Very naive, very positive, very [[noblebright]] album that has a very pastoral vibe. Good for relaxing, and good for mood setting, provided that the setting your playing in is noblebright to the utmost extreme. Seriously, there's no describing how positive this album is.
