Dutton Vocalion: What's Next?

[Soundfield]

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

?

I thought it was Welsh! But Google tells me it’s a phrase in a language made up by an author called A.P.Lovecraft. A bit like Klingon but without the warmth and charm. Not sure why it’s relevant here though.

Apologies for my inappropriate joking here.
Just thought it would be funny to try and help to summon Mr. Dutton using the chant from Call of Cthulhu:

The short story asserts the premise that, while currently trapped, Cthulhu will eventually return. His worshippers chant "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ("In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.")

Because @steelydave used an image of Cthulhu awaking in his post.

Oh, is that what it was? I thought it was a sea monster eating a squid.

You'll realise I have no knowledge of this particular genre.

I'm frankly surprised in a forum full of nerds how many people didn't get it. I think it might be a generational thing - even though Lovecraft predates all of us, he's perhaps more in popular culture today.

Showing your age again there Fred!!

I dug it but once the comments went sideways didn't want to reveal myself as the card carrying cthulhu mythos fanboy that I am...and yet here we are anyway.

There was a Chicago group called H P Lovecraft and an excellent CD of their two studio albums. Maybe steelydave means to hint DV is releasing them next.....

 

[John Svensson]

You mean these guys....

 

[Scott65]

Thanks Jefe1,
Glad you mentioned that group. I was thinking of that also. Didn't know they were from Chicago.
Back in the day, I had one of their LP's.

Mr. Dutton,

Where oh Where, are you tonight.
Why did you leave us here all alone.

We searched your nice website, 'n' bought S.A.C.D. Quads.
Here came the Covid and (insert rasberry sound) you were gone!

Surprises me, too. That particular rendition of Cthulhu is too comic-book anthropomorphic for my taste, but instantly recognizable to any H.P. Lovecraft fan (been reading his stories since the early sixties.) I never expected HPL's obscure pulp masterpieces to become so embedded and prevalent in popular cinema and written horror.

Looks like there may be some more popular releases coming "soon." From the Dutton Vocalion Facebook page.
