"Rock music! The brilliant Chris Funk has assembled a motley crew of bards to create Spelljams-music inspired by our newest Spelljammer adventure, Light of Xaryxis. “You know what they like on the Rock of Bral?" asked Perkins, referring to a location in Spelljammer. Chris Perkins, story architect at D&D and lead designer of Spelljammer, worked with Funk to bring the Flash Gordon-esque soundtrack to life. Spelljams features a double LP’s worth of tracks from artists all produced by Chris Funk, guitarist from The Decemberists who plays D&D with many folks in the music scene in Portland, Oregon. The far-out storytelling in the world’s greatest roleplaying game’s latest offering is fertile ground for composing some of the most original songs you’ll hear this year from bands like Magic Sword, Shabazz Palaces and OSEES. Now that relationship is even more distinct with the release today of an album of music created by cutting-edge bands and musical acts all inspired by Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. For nearly five decades, Dungeons & Dragons has inspired generations of creative people to make movies, novels and, yes, music.
