Notes: An epic (80 minutes) compilation tribute to weird tales master H.P. Lovecraft, featuring exclusive tracks. A highly recommended compilation for fans of Lovecraftian fiction and the better dark ambient music, like classic Lustmord or the darker Cold Meat releases. Released in a DVD case with creepy full-color artwork!
"Ranging from the subtly mutating drones of Schloss Tegal, to the corrosive noise-ambience of Kuru, to the obtuse electro-acoustic manifestations of Bestia Centauri, THE OUTSIDER is a varied collection. The unifying thread that binds these divergent approaches is a sincere empathy for Lovecraft's cosmic perspective and relentlessly horrific imagination. Sounds to provoke the Old Ones to stir in their aeonic slumber... Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn...
this is a tribute to one of the greatest horror authors of all time: H.P. Lovecraft, the man who created the creature Cthulhu! In fact, the title of this compilation, "The Outsider," is also the title of one of Lovecraft's stories! Though long dead, Lovecraft's memory lives on in his countless works, and now also in this tribute by a handful of dark ambient, experimental, and noise acts! And, indeed, who better to paint an aural portrait of Lovecraft's written works than the artists who represent the truly nightmarish genres of music!"
“I could not write about “ordinary people” because I am not in the least interested in them. Without interest there can be no art. Man’s relations to man do not captivate my fancy. It is man’s relations to the cosmos — to the unknown — which alone arouses in me the spark of creative imagination. The humanocentric pose is impossible to me, for I cannot acquire the primitive myopia which magnifies the earth and ignores the background.”
(H.P. Lovecraft - In Defence of Dagon, 1921)

"For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men. This I have known ever since I stretched out my fingers to the abomination within that great gilded frame; stretched out my fingers and touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass" (from Lovecraft's story, "The Outsider," as quoted from the back artwork)."
