Owing to their unique blend of world music styles, almost any of their albums make for a great soundtrack for gaming, but Gothic Spleens has this kind of nonspecific medieval feel that works for any fantasy setting. In some cases, they opt for glossolalic singing (meaning the vocalizations are deliberately unintelligible). However, Dead Can Dance tends towards chant-like lyrics that almost meld into the instrumentation. For gaming background music, I usually don’t like vocals because I feel that it draws attention. Aside from that, let the needle drop and enjoy the following albums.ĭead Can Dance is probably the most well known group to appear on this list, and frankly, they deserve it.

For those of you that fit the above description, I’ve arranged for some alternate content this week. Just your game master’s dulcet tones, some pencils, dice, and silence. Listen, I know some of you like to game in complete silence.
