"The Dunwich Tapes": a short story about the discovery of mysterious sounds off the New England coast. Odd, old magnetic tapes with curious content. The hero brings the things to August Derleth for help.
There is more album cover art.
The name recalls The Stone Tape (1972, Nigel Kneale, BBC). And the very idea summons forth Matt Howarth's Bugtown.
...Wyard set about reassembling the morass of tapes. He purchased a second hand reel to reel recorder from an Internet auction site, fashioning a rudimentary splicing apparatus from two blocks of drift wood and a disposable razor blade. To his surprise the contents of the recordings were in relatively healthy condition...
More disquieting yet, barely audible in the background of the recording, Wyard was sure he hear could the nervous chatter of a Geiger counter...
(via his Warren Ellis majesty)
this is lovely and would bring on the death of the most swarthy record nerd.

Spread the meme!
It would make a fine Halloween prop, wouldn't it? Get some old tape, old books...
