Ziggurath - Jungle Majesty (2023) (Tropical Synth, Dungeon Synth)

[@Lenny.262]

I clicked so fast. I work from home and luckily, I can drop anything I'm doing for Ziggurath. I love them and I love this channel. I've been able to remain in my "flow" state with the music on this channel. Thank you, Dungeon Synth Archives. Love this album cover, reminds me of Maturin the turtle, the only creature IT from Stephen King is afraid of. Because the turtle symbolizes wisdom, endurance and maturity - literally "maturing" - which is what evil fears the most: maturing.

[@andrefinnigan8780]

I Say Thank’Ya

[@dead2802]

That was a huge, cosmic turtle indeed. Did S King make that up or is there a story behind the turtle? Always wondered.

[@Lenny.262]

@@dead2802 To my knowledge, there isn't any culture with a cosmic turtle in their mythology who vomited the universe into existence, like Maturin the turtle does in IT. A lot of cultures do have a turtle as being responsible for creating the earth but not the universe and not through vomiting. However, in the mythology of the Boshongo (Central Africa), they have a god called Bumba (or Mbombo) whom one day had a stomach ache and vomited the universe into existence, just like Maturin the turtle in IT. Bumba is not a giant turtle though, he's a giant white man. I think Stephen King may have conflated earth creation myths of turtles with the myth of Bumba to come up with Maturin. Just like Bumba, Maturin also appears to be a metaphor for the Big Bang. I have a book from Stephen Hawking titled "Brief Answers to the Big Questions" and he icludes the myth of Bumba as a metaphor for the Big Bang. This would explain why Maturin has cosmic origins and is so huge and why physics are a prominent theme in Stephen King's IT. I know this was really long, I'm sorry, but I love the symbolism behind Stephen King's novels.

See the Turtle of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth. His thought is slow but always kind He holds us all within his mind On his back all vows are made, He sees the truth but mayn’t aid. He loves the land and loves the sea, And even loves a child like me

[@austinharris8709]

I feel Like I'm hanging out with tarzan 😆

[@Dr.Johnboy]

I don't know what this turtle did to become King of the Turtles - but he has my respects.

[@anindustryplant7449]

He has the expression of a turtle who has lived a long life full of doing many good things for his turtle kingdom

[@phyemusic]

I never thought I never thought of this kind of album covers until you mentioned something as bizarre as a turtle being king.

[@MemeMan1984]

Even Plato believed the body of the King of Turtles was just a shell for the King of the Turtles.

[@sahawndada]

he prefers the name Jungle Majesty

if all KZbin comments were this truthful & accurate we wouldn’t have anything to worry about

[@sriley4458]

real talk

[@abaf209]

2023 is going to be remembered as the golden year for lizard related synth.

[@twisted_coconut4093]

I’m so glad the turtle pope from Elden Ring finally got to publish his album

[@Andrew-qc8jh]

wtf, they just stuck a hat on a turtle and called it a character

[@noided583]

fiercely underrated comment.

[@dissidentechoes3752]

Amazing. Great cover artwork. Great music. Reminds me of 90's jungle themed new age ambient, like Terry Oldfield's "Spirit of the Rainforest."

[@Ziggurath]

Glad that you like it! And thanks for mentioning the Oldfield album, it has a great atmosphere. I'll keep that one for a rainy day...

[@SukieOOO]

Im out on Yacata Island in Fiji looking at the moon with bats flying overhead , this is perfect .

[@andreasmunch4836]

I heard through this album 4 times now. Just amazing vibe and melody 😚👌

[@thelastmoonlover]

All Hails the Turtle King!

[@OMGmyFACE]

My liege, the Turtle King, you are great indeed.

[@YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms]

the kind of music I could expect from playing Riven late at night :)

[@Syrith]

Turtles are known to have originated around 230 million years ago

[@DreadwoodProphecies]

Loving this! Incredible artwork too.

[@happy_camper]

Lovely.

Dart Traps and Rolling Boulders, what a banger

tropical synth? sure, why not!

[@austinharris8709]

This is pretty cool

[@vladyslavchvikov7638]

I guess if the whole world would have been inhabited by dungeon synth appreciators, it would be an absolute utopia

[@kotyara85]

Not really, but is would sound (and possibly look) a whole lot nicer

@@kotyara85 Yeah, that was quite an exaggregation, so your truth

So true. Everyone would have huge gates to their abodes, though no fences

[@MemoryDealerr]

Wow. I've been listening to synthwave for over 6 years, And never heard about these...

[@partypizza1]

Uh isn’t that like vapor wave related?Dungeon synth and the other synth genres don’t really relate to vapor wave

[@MemoryDealerr]

@@partypizza1 Not Really, Synthwave is wayy different from Vaporwave.

[@partypizza1]

@@MemoryDealerr Hm well okay

[@marionwolf9978]

i know this album goes crazy by the cover alone

[@bloodkin_fantasy_works]

Clicked for the thumbnail, was not disappointed.

[@autumnalembrace7637]

It will be a winning combination for me, Dungeon Synth AND turtles 🐢 just take my money already ❤Turtles are me and my partner's kinda signature animal, so this hits a soft spot

[@dead2802]

Me too. I was given this cute, little grren guy about a 50 cent size. Tiny and lovable. Now my very plump, green, plate size friend follows me around. 🐢 Dungeon synth and a turtle.

[@autumnalembrace7637]

Too cute 🐢 yeah, we do need more Turtle synth, that's for sure 😊

[@vladyslavchvikov7638]

Are you into ulk? There are 5 awesome turtle synth albums, and this dude also donates all money he makes from the music to different turtle conservation projects, so I highly recommend

[@yojon4905]

This is lovely

[@EruntalonDîmardo]

This is the second album I'm listening from Ziggurath. It's so rich...takes me to very unusual and warm places.

Moist even.

[@MotorsportUK2009]

Reminds me of an old 90's adventure RPG.

[@dead2802]

A Rocket Propelled Grenade? Or is this battle zone I spent the last 2 weeks at getting to me! Beautiful cover art too.

[@OMGmyFACE]

This is perfect "I've been looking for a save point for an hour" music.

[@iamthelaw82]

Of course the Turtle King wears a crown on his shell rather than on his head

[@thehellezell]

the soundtrack to the abandoned mall’s Rainforest Cafe in the low-poly world of my 64-bit dreams

[@Blisterdude123]

Ziggurath have such a cool and clean grasp of vibe and aesthetic sound design.

[@rotbuxe2301]

This Album reminds me of the Age of Empires (1) OST

[@nivlacmcphickleson839]

That smug ass turtle looks like he's about say "Heh, nothing personal."

[@fuchswolfsson2622]

Would it be this bad, if it is ai? I mean, if you have a vision for a coverartwork in your head, but do not have the skills to create it by yourself, why not use ai?

[@calebo.3577]

@@fuchswolfsson2622 because the reality of it is that AI uses artwork scrapped from the internet without permission or consent from other artists Its unethical

[@fuchswolfsson2622]

@@calebo.3577 it never directly copies, though. It just copies styles. You could argue that every artist copies other artists to varying degrees. If it would use artwork or parts of it 1:1, i would agree, but i think it is a bit more nuanced. However, i can see why artists would rather inspire other artists than ai.
