I am a huge Lovecraft fan. I have read his complete works. So I was interested to see how this would turn out. You see, one of the things I love about Lovecraft is not what he wrote, but the things he left out of what he wrote. It is the sense of the supernatural that hovers just above the text itself. Horror today seems to have forgotten that, going for explicit rather than implicit terror. Let's see which direction Kutulu goes in. The label explains the album thus: 'Featuring members of Westwind, ][|][ and Rotule, this 4 track record is a soundtrack to the rise of the Great Chtulhu, where deep drones meet orgasmatic ritual drums, organs cross with shrieking guitars and mad flutes, all toward the klimax where the Great One himself finally takes us to a reign of chaos and madness.' This is pretty good ritualistic dark ambient, with heavy pounding percussion. All of this builds into a noisy, oppressive cacophony that does a good job of evoking cyclopean horrors in a place where the geometry is all wrong. Thankfully Kutulu avoided the pitfalls so many others have fallen into ' cheesy screaming and bad horror movie samples. They did Lovecraft proud. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu Fhtagn! This album weighs in at around 43 minutes.
