Based on stories by HP Lovecraft, with visuals by Danielle de Picciotto.

Avant-garde cabaret masters the Tiger Lillies join forces with Alexander Hacke of Einsturzende Neubauten to pay tribute to the fantasies of influential gothic writer and founder of 'cosmic horror', HP Lovecraft.

Mountains of Madness is a spine-chilling musical performance based on some of Lovecraft's eerie stories, including The Rats in the Walls, At The Mountains of Madness and The Call of Cthulhu. Tales of ancient gods, inexplicable terror and lost souls are brought to life in strangely beautiful, sometimes humorous and melancholy songs. The trademark penetrating falsetto, musical saw, piano, bass and assorted musical instruments of the Tiger Lillies are accompanied by Alexander Hacke's ethereal electronic soundscapes and narration. The production features visuals by artist Danielle de Picciotto and lighting is by Lutz John, known for his work with Einsturzende Neubauten.

Yeah, wish I could go to this, but I'm out of town. I'm hoping for an album, or a DVD.

According to Hacke's website there's a DVD but I can't find out how to buy it. It's not shown on his site and it's not in Amazon.

Further digging reveals it will be available to buy from the Tiger Lillies' website "soon".
