Access to Arasaka Perfect soundtrack to experience the megaplex from an aircar or from the sidewalk.

Or from a darkened alleyway, trying to short-circ the maglock on a storage unit that Mr. Johnson hired you to crash.

(Seriously, put this on during your next Shadowrun campaign.) Favorite track: The Liminal Embrace Of Oblivion.

about

Arcane Dirge is proud of present the first part of Aetherium Nebula's Arcsec City trilogy.

A haunting, isolationist journey through dark, cybernetic atmospheres. This is the soundtrack for illegal underground laboratories, lobotomized cyborg assassins, dystopian megacities, derelict slums, weaponized memory editing, and illicit, unregulated biohacks.

This EP is accompanied by a gritty cyberpunk short story inspired by the golden age of cyberpunk and bleak hard sci fi; authors such as William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, Peter Watts, Iain M Banks, etc.

excerpt:
"The first impression when Waking is always the recognition of the depthless black; totality reduced to a speck of consciousness suspended within the primordial emptiness of an infinitely expansive sphere.
This is followed by the liminal overlay of a discreet white grid which melts into a flood of syntax as the OS bootstraps. From an arbitrary point, which upon its birth becomes the de facto center of this metaphysical realm, a pink chasm of awareness effervesces as the neural lace untangles and assimilates the machine language of new and updated code. Then sensory erupts, like current sparking the filament inside a light bulb.

The frigidity of coldSleep is etched into her nerves like a river of ice that has begun to shatter; each crack carrying a subtle yet prolonged dose of pain. Miyaśa has been under for nearly three days, body rigid within the Icebox while her mind traveled, sifting through data, extrapolating, interfacing with new code and methodologies. Despite being kept at near freezing temperature, the circuits in her neural lace still burn hot like a ring of white plasma inside her skull."

The full story is included as a pdf along with 6 panels of artwork.

captivating dives into arcane places and sentiments. these well-compiled pieces form a functioning unbreakable thread; bare... deathly cold.. otherworldly after-midnight ritualistic sonic sufferings w nice detail. recommended for fans of hidden alcoves and barren wastelands. one of the better nether-ambient and industrial compilations i've come across in ages. will gladly pay customs fee to have possession. looking fwd to future offerings!

It's really great! Really! The only downside is that transition between tracks 1 and 2 is not smooth. If Author could fix that and re-upload that would be great. Thank you! :) edit: ok, I fixed it myself :P Sergey
