If there was a single song that expressed how I feel when I think of the World of Yezmyr, it would surely be Leng Tch'e by Naked City. Luckily, there's a whole bunch of other songs that collectively paint a picture of Yezmyr in my mind's ear. To that end, I've put together a soundtrack for the next gaming session. It's atmospheric, otherworldly, and more than a little creepy. I'm putting it out there because I suspect other people find these sorts of things interesting. I know I certainly do.

Nice! I put together a playlist for a recent pulp skirmish game that was heavy on Naked City, Barry Adamson, Jerry Goldsmith and all the classic Film Noir Composers.
