Music can create a sense of mood, mystery, and fantastic visions as perhaps no other single medium or artform can. We present here a small sampling of artists and works that we have found to be particularly effective in this regard. Whether you are reading, gaming, or just listening, dim the lights and prepare to be transported.

ABOUT ME, DR. PRUNE
Besides being an avid reader and book collector, I am a metal construction toy enthusiast (click on the banner at the bottom of the page to see my website devoted to this hobby), a geologist by education and avocation, and a full-time Web developer and computer analyst by trade. Please note: I am NOT a doctor of medicine or of philosophy - "Dr. Prune" is an Internet "handle" and "Doc" is a nickname).

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Okay, so why "Dr. Prune" you may wonder? Well, the name comes from two of my favorite novels, Titus Groan and Gormenghast, which are the first two books in Gormenghast Trilogy by British author Mervyn Peake - Dr. Prune, short for Dr. Prunesquallor, is a main character in the novels. These two books are, in my opinion, among the greatest works of literature in the English language. For more information on these amazing novels, visit our Books & Authors page.
