Black Horse and MIDI Dungeon

Black Horse and MIDI Dungeon are studio albums by electronic musician Vektroid under the alias esc不在, released on August 2, 2011.^[1][2][3] The albums' genre is recognized as vaporwave. These albums are some of Vektroid's more obscure work as they have never been uploaded to her Bandcamp or SoundCloud pages in their original forms.^{[citation needed]} Select tracks on the albums would later be reused for Initiation Tape: Isle of Avalon Edition, a rework of the original Initiation Tape, released on the same day as the original esc不在 albums. The albums are not as popular as others, such as Floral Shoppe.^[4][5][6]
