Visions Cosmiques\u2014Improvisations D\u00e9di\u00e9es \u00c0 L’\u00e9quipage D’Apollo 8 (1969) by Jean Guillou. No designer credited.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 50 years ago this weekend Apollo 8<\/a> was on its way to the Moon. Jean Guillou’s album of organ improvisations took the mission as its inspiration although his turbulent music seems more suited to the near-disaster of Apollo 13 than the weightless drift of space travel. The album has been out-of-print for decades but may be heard in full here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Related: the Discogs listing for the Philips’ Prospective 21e Si\u00e8cle<\/a> series of avant-garde music. Most of the other albums in this series remain unreissued, and are now very collectible, not least because of their metallic “Heliophore” sleeves.<\/p>\n \u2022 Christmas cheer be damned: the spook season extends from Halloween to the end of the year. At These Unquiet Things, Sarah Chavez<\/a> offers a list of favourite seasonal vampires, witches and ghosts. For those who prefer something televisual that isn’t more MR James, The Lorelei<\/em><\/a> (1990) is a feature-length supernatural drama written by Nick Dunning. And speaking of the unavoidable James, Sarah K Marr<\/a> presents an annotated analysis of A Warning to the Curious<\/em> embellished with her excellent photos of the area of the Norfolk coast where the story is set.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Bandcamp: Voltaic Liturgies<\/a><\/em>: “A symbiosis of flesh, machinery and umbral cosmic mysticism” by Primitive Knot and The Wyrding Module; and In The Sunshine We Rode The Horses<\/em><\/a> by Rowan : Morrison (Rowan Amber Mill with Angeline Morrison): “The album explores themes of our beautiful natural surroundings, and how the pursuit of profit guides us to learn ‘the cost of everything and the value of nothing’, paving the way for the scarring of the landscape with fracking, HS2, retail parks, and so on…”<\/p>\n \u2022 “Influential Manga Artist Gengoroh Tagame<\/a> on Upending Traditional Japanese Culture”. Tagame is also a prolific gay porn illustrator, a part of his career the headline avoids although it is acknowledged in Anne Ishii’s interview.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mixes of the week: Dream Perception Mix<\/a> by Moon Wiring Club, Strange Great Snow: A Conjuror’s Hexmas by Seraphic Manta<\/a>, December’s Reverie by Cafekaput<\/a>, and Secret Thirteen Mix 275 by CoH<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 On the Scary Thoughts podcast: Erik Davis<\/a> on philosophical pessimism, cosmic horror, police procedurals, serial killers, gnostic notions, and Louisiana as featured in the first season of True Detective<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Manuscripts, letters and other documents by HP Lovecraft are now digitised and available for browsing at Brown University Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 William Hope Hodgson\u2014The Essex-born Master of Horror: a biographical essay by Peter Berresford Ellis<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 The best ambient releases of 2018<\/a> according to FACT.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Dennis Cooper’s: Donald Sutherland Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Sandspiel<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Rocket USA<\/a><\/em> (1977) by Suicide | Ticket To The Moon<\/a><\/em> (1981) by Electric Light Orchestra | From Ape to Apollo<\/a><\/em> (1994) Thomas Fehlmann<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visions Cosmiques\u2014Improvisations D\u00e9di\u00e9es \u00c0 L’\u00e9quipage D’Apollo 8 (1969) by Jean Guillou.
