Arda & OldShool

I was just thinking—if you had to tell a whole epic fantasy on a single vinyl, how would you divide it? Imagine each side a kingdom, each track a chapter, and the sound design of the world in the groove. What do you think, OldShool?

Ah, a fantasy epic on vinyl—now that’s a noble quest! I’d start with the A‑side as the “Kingdom of Dawn.” The first track would be a slow, lush intro, like the first rays of sun over a misty valley, perhaps a gentle acoustic riff on the old Fender jazz guitar that never goes out of style. Then each subsequent track would shift in mood and tempo to mirror the kingdom’s arc: a bold march for the royal council, a quiet lullaby for the hidden forest, a raucous rattle for the battle with the dragon, and finally a triumphant, soaring finale that leaves listeners breathless, just like a king’s triumphant return. The B‑side would be the “Kingdom of Night.” Start with a moody, reedy saxophone that’s the night wind through the castle towers, then a suspenseful bass line for the intrigue of the court, a haunting choir for the necromancer’s tower, a fast‑paced, frantic drum roll for the escape, and end with a chilling, echoing outro that feels like the darkness settling over the land. Each side would have its own sonic palette—perhaps even a different record material: the A‑side on a heavier, warmer black vinyl for that golden age feel, the B‑side on a lighter, more reflective blue vinyl that keeps the night sound crisp. And of course, each track would be neatly titled in the liner notes so listeners can trace the story chapter by chapter. No cloud storage needed for this—just the faithful grooves that keep the tale alive in your living room.
