"Mystery Derelict" has to be one of the funniest ones you guys have come up with yet. I love it, hahaha. Great entire album, I can tell making this must have been tons of fun. My only wish is for digital lyric sheets for your albums (I have some hearing loss that makes picking up speech and lyrics difficult sometimes - but overall this was very clear).

This is a great compilation with a diverse set of styles: dramatic, soaring, echoing cathedral sounds linking this work to the Solstice albums, next to pieces with an upbeat modern broadway sound, or slow lounge jazz, with an excellent shanty to link it thematically with the Innsmouth album, and then with alien space ambient filling in the void between them all. This whole thing is brilliantly experimental. "The Most Merciful Thing" gave me strong vibes of Andrew Lloyd Webber putting T.S. Eliot to music (yes, I'm making a Cats reference, yes, that's a positive to me - HPL would probably have loved Cats haha), but with the unsettling syncopation making it so wonderfully cultish.

Huge hats off to the composer and the performers. Again this is fantastic!!

The performances, both instrumental and vocal, are excellent, with good ensemble and accurate pitch. The singers enunciate their texts clearly; this is no small matter. Lovecraft was an amateur philologist who logically believed that alien languages would be nearly unpronounceable by humans. It's a detail that enhances the work but isn't easy for human singers. The Arkham Choir does a yeoman job in making sense of it all.
