> This song was my Music Contest 5 entry. However, it didn't
> make it to the top 20, so I'm releasing it now as it is - with
> the sample texts included, of course. :)
>
> This song was inspired by the stories of H.P. Lovecraft
> (hence the name). It is an addition to the series of
> attributed fantasy I seem to be doing from time to time.
> Vision-wise, you can imagine a diligent alchemist in
> a dark cavern, working his way closer and closer to the
> forbidden truths, until he invokes ancient evil beyond
> his control... Tho if you imagine something else when
> listening to this one, I'm not stopping you. :)

> About the samples
>
> The AlienAhh sounds mighty bizarre, doesn't it? Well,
> its history is even more such. I downloaded an "Ahhhhhh!"
> (said by a big hairy lummox digitized from Ren&Stimpy) off
> the Usenet and flanged it beyond recognition. Like the
> results? :)
> I've sampled most of the percussions myself off metal tape,
> this may explain the poor-ish quality - all I had to sample
> with was a Sound Blaster Pro. For the rest of the samples, most
> of the credit goes to NHP, Bruno and a couple of others who
> I'm not sure about whether they've ripped the samples
> themselves or not.

> About the patterns
>
> The climax-like chord transfer on patterns 23..24 is a rip-
> off. It was originally featuring in a totally bizarre organ
> song composed by a person who suffered from chronic schitzo-
> phrenia (contributing to his creativeness, I take it). I
> thought it was so cool I decided to put it in use myself -
> copying is sometimes a part of the learning process. My
> regards to him, whoever he was.
> You may also recognize the chord progression in patterns
> 49-50, as it was used by Chris Franke in several parts of
> the Babylon 5 soundtrack; before that it was used in
> Tangerine Dream's 'Miracle Mile' soundtrack - however, Chris
> Franke - a former Tangerine Dream member himself - was not
> involved in the Miracle Mile project. Makes me wonder, did
> HE rip it too? :)
>
>
> What else, now....
>
> Well I hope you enjoy this little production. I'm signing
> off now.
