I'm sure that I can (and will) think of others! Others I can quickly recommend are Aardia, Chulainn, Marcos Ciscar, City of the Fallen, Conjurer, Robert Euvino, Gianmarco Leone, Francisco Nogueiras, Julia Okrusko, Ari Pulkkinen...so many! If you didn't already know, you can search for any artists, albums, tracks on the website by clicking the magnifying glass on the menu bar at the top of a page (next to the "PLAY RADIO" button). They often have links to their websites, should I have missed any.

Oh, and my "recommended silly track" is Robert Euvino's "A Day in the Life of a Gong Farmer" (from Stronghold 2). It cracks me up every time...but it's also a bit of a ditty!

Lots of great suggestions! 😄

Erdenstern comes to mind most of the times, as a recomendation. The chromatic albums (Into the Green, Into the Red etc.) have a great range of sounds for the aspiring DMs and their campaigns.

Posted by TruthseerErdenstern:https://erdenstern.com/https://soundcloud.com/erdensternhttps://erdenstern.bandcamp.com/My favorite songs of theirs on RR are "Anhjorai", "Die Alten", "Die Stadt in den Wolken", "Into the Blue", "Intruder", "Meeting with the Grey One", "Pryderi's Adventure", "The Reiters", "Sons of the North", "Wrath of the Gods". I also enjoy many others, and many of theirs I have yet to listen to because their catalog is so large. Admittedly, "Die Alten" (The Old Ones) is not for everyone, but I like Lovecraft and it gives that crazed cult vibe. By the way, I'm trying to figure out if this forum has any markdown capabilities because I'd really like to be able to format my messages. lol

I can't disagree about any of the artists you've noted, but Erdenstern is a standout favorite for me. I've collected close to a dozen of their CDs over the years. I think I have the entire "Into the..." series, plus a handful of others. All high quality productions.

I also have one or more of the Radio Rivendell compilation CDs. They're well worth getting, if any are still available. They're wonderfully curated by Elrond, I believe.

I would have loved to have gotten my hands on them! I believe the first volume was released in 2007, the second in 2008... There was talk many years ago (perhaps 2013?) from several artists about a third compilation, but I don't think it got off the ground. I doubt you can still get them from outside of Lord Elrond himself (or someone willing to sell/give one), but I'm glad there are places (including RR, Bandcamp) I can still listen to them. I recall that I joined RR around 2011, so the first two compilations were already a few years old.

You know what people... Are you ready for something great related to this?! Sneak a peek into this subdomain just getting out of the shadows! 😀 https://store.radiorivendell.com I was just about to post a news item on it!

Come oooooon, Lord Elrond, talk to meee.... And how AWESOME is this! Bring the merch on!

The merch is coming back! I've signed up with Printful so we should be able to get some T-shirts, flippy-floppies and other weird stuff out in the near future! What do we need/want?! 😀

Huzzah! Not sure if Printful does this, but giant/full desk mouse pad! Other ideas (of course there are the typical mugs and all that): tote bags, phone cases, duffle bags, tote bags, posters, drink coasters, backpacks, throw blankets, calendars, jigsaw puzzles, bookmarks, fridge magnets... I'm curious to see what kind of demand there might be out there!

Hello, Lord Elrond! I've attempted to reach you via your personal gmail (hope it's still the same!) and your RR gmail concerning the CD shipment. Let me know if you have or haven't gotten the messages!

Hello, Lord Elrond, I received the CDs in great condition! Thank you!
