I have a challenge. The long and short of it is that I'm digging into my modern-era reprints of HeroQuest and I want some fairly-specific music to accompany me as I tinker (my homebrewing tendencies are out of control).
I'm looking for pieces that convey a sort of uhh, VHS anachronism within their fantasy? OG heroquest is from the eighties and I'm trying to bring some of that colorful pulpiness into the soundscape while I hyperfixate.
Electronics are fine, even welcome, as long as they aren't intrusive. Lyrics are less welcome but I won't write them off entirely. Vocalization in general is okay, if it isn't overbearing.
Take the thoughtful, foreboding themes of, for instance, the MOON soundtrack, yet painted with a medieval fantasy palette.
The Lunacid soundtrack is a decent example too, though it tends to lean more ambient than I'm looking for at the moment.
Ataraxia's "The Unexplained" album is a neat piece of electro-occult weirdness that almost fits here, and I'll sometimes put it on in a "punchier" mood, but I'm jotting it down for these purposes as a good example of "too much energy."
Kind of a weird ask but I've never seen as many weirdos in one place as on the fediverse, so I'm hoping y'all can help. Gonna flood the bottom here with tags hoping to catch the attention of some rare nerds. Boosts are appreciated too.
