"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest fear, is the fear of the unknown"

- H.P. Lovecraft

[Eternalised]

*“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”*

— The Call of Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft

I love the voice at 59:34. Though seemingly unintelligible, it actually says "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." - 'In his home of R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.'

Amazing detail.

[hydecat]

I love it that so many people are still inspired by Lovecraft. This music is that fine line between tension and relaxation.

*"A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea. Accepting of all that there is, and can be"*

[PaulA-fpvs]

"Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of time" H. P. Lovecraft

[daxican]

It's crazy to think that this came out 5 years ago. Cryo Chamber should remaster the Lovecraft collection!

[wobbegong]

i want to play this very loud while in a boat in the fog

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

Cthulhu Long

8 years later and this is still the best Lovecraft ambient music I've ever heard. I still listen to it frequently.

I've been suffering from depression and mental health issues for a while, the music playlists on this channel have helped me overcome a lot of stress, thank you for uploading stuff like this.

When I bought Lovecraft's complete works I went home and started reading The Shunned House before going to bed...

I kid you not, the power went out. I was a terrified 20 year old panicking like a little girl

[steverye]

Great track. you inspired me too write a pretty little poem


"In the depths of the sea lies a hideous beast,
of immeasurable size and power-
of malevolent race, from the cold depths of space,
come to rule from his citidel tower-
great darkness he'll bring as the Shoggoth all sing,
Taki-li-li-li-lay
but till the stars realign, he must sleep for a time
in his horrible city R'lyeh"
Also, Subbed.

"Deep into that darkness Long I stood there, Doubting...." Edger Allen poe

[Edude]

Jesus... the first two minutes are so enormously creepy. I could imagine myself overlooking an eerily still, virtually endless, and unnaturally dark ocean with a large storm brewing off in the distance. I have a nagging feeling that something is deeply wrong... perhaps my life will soon be in danger. God damn, this ain't stuff you should listen to before hitting the hay.

[liberval]

They come almost every night now... the ones I have started calling 'Intruders'... they wait until my eyes are nearly closed and my mind is half asleep, and that's when it starts. A piercing pain in my mind's eye that no amount of screaming will get rid of. Long, powerful fingers reach out from the darkness and hold me in place as sinuous appendages wrap endlessly around my throat and ankles. After a brief struggle, all is still, and I cease to exist for an unimaginably long time... I don't know what happens during that time, nor do I care to. The worst part about it all is that I've never actually seen any of them... they know exactly how to keep hidden, these Intruders...

1:15:00 - till the end is straight out of a nightmare trip. Incredible

[NomisIsGozulike]

I love H.P. Lovecrafts work, I love the thought of Cthulhu, I love ambient / drone music. I love this.

[worldofthought]

Who would have thought the sound of madness would sound...calming.

Just started reading "The Burrowers Beneath" again by Brian Lumley. I've not read much Lovecraft but I have however read many Brian Lumley novels who took inspiration from Lovecraft. And many of Brian Lumley's novels before he created his own "Necroscope" series were based on Lumley's Cthulhu Mythos. So I'm familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos through Lumley's writings. I've been fortunate enough to have collected some of the originals from England. ( I live in the US. ) I'm going to begin revisiting them. "The Burrowers Beneath" being one of those. :) In the age of internet streaming services and video games we sometimes forget about how great a good read is, I think. I know people that say they never read a novel in their life, wow, how unfortunate for them... I can't even imagine having lived my life without all the epic adventures I've been on through the works of fantastic writers.
