Fair enough; it
is your site, after all. I assume that you don't mind those of us who object to this sort of thing to weigh in, as well, though. In my opinion, the fit between the commercial post and the site's subject matter should be
very tight, indeed, and ideally should bring us news of newly published work by or about CAS, himself. Perhaps it is narrow-minded of Dr. F. and me to razz this compilation without hearing it, but (speaking only for myself), as I dislike most rock 'n' roll, and all punk, I have no hesitation about expressing my distaste for it in advance. I suppose that what really galls me in this case that a spammer would come here, spam us, and then take offense when others object to it or otherwise express derogatory opinions about the spam in question. Just my two cents, as the saying goes. It's certainly not a major polemical issue, nor do I mean to turn it into such.
Speaking of distasteful music, I'm posting this information only because you asked: My project is called Bestia Centauri. My debut CD-R is called
Ubbo-Sathla; I also contributed to a tribute compilation CD-R dedicated to Lovecraft called
The Outsider. Further information and music samples are available at
www.somnambulantcorpse.com and
http://www.aferecords.com/mp3/beneath_exsanguinated_suns.mp3. Only those who enjoy, for lack of a better term, avant-garde electronic music (in particular, non-rhythmic dark ambient and electro-acoustic music) are likely to find any value in this work. There! Now I feel like a proper hypocrite! ;-)
