Great, all I need now is an Edisonian phonograph.

Although disk recordings (both Edison and Victrola) had largely supplanted cylinder recordings by the time the Lovecraft was doing most of his writing.

Wax?
I guess Blue Amberols just don’t have street cred anymore.

I knew disc recording, tapes and MP3s were just a fad.

Can the “music” of the Elder gods actually be inscribed physically?
And if so, would that not require the receiving surface belong to a non-Euclidean geometry?

Dang. Wonder if they’ll ship overseas?

But it’s much easier to cover a cardboard cylinder with wax, make some scratches in it and claim it’s a recording without anyone being able to tell otherwise, not that I’m saying that’s the case here.
Cough.

I got one of those, along with a dozen or so cylinders (like these:)
…but the phonograph lacks whatever stylus-analog would actually allow playback. But I have 95% of the system in place! If I were working right now, I’d plunk down the £50.00 and fix the phonograph, just to open my own personal portal to the nether dimensions in my garage. Always wanted to do that.
