about

**Note: We offer this compilation for free to our readers, but we ask that if you enjoy it, please consider donating by purchasing.

As the sun welcomed the height of light in June of 2014, we halted our bi-annual compilation series with the issuing of our first collection dedicated to our own writers, Midsummer, fittingly falling between our usual Walpurgisnacht and Samhain release dates. We have made the decision to begin this compilation series anew and have chosen to light the fires where they were originally extinguished. Few names have returned from the original Midsummer two years ago, which is telling of just how quickly music 'zines go through writers. Yet, talent remains high (though, of course, we could always use new writer help: Sage@heathenharvest.org).

On Midsummer II, you will find tracks from sixteen of our contributors, all exclusive to this release. Midsummer II is noise and folk-heavy, celebrating both the static charge of the season as well as the warmth and fervent activity that possesses all creatures under the sun. May our offering find you well and usher in the slow descent into fall with purpose, joy, and inspiration.

Vol.1 Dark Ambient
by This Is Darkness

supported by 11 fans who also own “Midsummer II”

My original plan was to go through and buy individual tracks like I do with most compilation albums, but honestly there are just so many good ones that I wound up buying the whole thing. More than simple drones (though there are plenty of those, too), this album collects many of the best and most innovative dark ambient artists in one place, including many who are new to me. Seriously, if you like this kind of brooding music, just buy it. You won't regret it. Plushie Fanatic

Everywhere at the end of time

I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too. sethgibbs
