"Look... I can see the Room of Incomparable Riches glittering just ahead!"

"...wait. What's that sound?"

"Drums... bass... and... curse Cthulhu's black minions... I hear the voice of a synthesizer!"

"They've broken through! Quickly, set the flame of invisibility so we may listen without transforming into one of them! If their eye should find us, we will no longer be human."

Currently emanating into the void, Harmaline is the latest and possibly greatest musical project involving my comrade Jeremy Dickens/Logickal. The product of a long-distance collaboration between Jeremy, Matt "Threv" Simpson and Ryan Dempsey, these guys apparently tore up this year's Atlanta NoPhest. You can hear the lingering vibratory essence of that ritual in Jeremy's weblog:
