Almost Random releases Lovecraft-inspired album ‘Fragments From the Waning World’ on Cyclical Dreams
Cyclical Dreams released Almost Random’s Lovecraft-inspired Berlin School album “Fragments From the Waning World” on 31 July 2026.
Buenos Aires label Cyclical Dreams has released Fragments From the Waning World, a Berlin School and dark ambient album by Almost Random built around six short stories by H.P. Lovecraft. The digital edition went up on Bandcamp on 31 July 2026, at a reduced price until 5 August, alongside a CD edition sold through Kunaki and downloads through Payhip; the album also streams on Spotify and YouTube.
“Fragments From the Waning World” runs six tracks: “Dreams moor at that Dock” (8:06), “An open Door above the mists” (7:39), “Night at the Nameless city” (5:09), “It reached Everything” (9:17), “What Answers in darkness” (7:00) and “I walk whilst the world Unravelled” (4:55). The album was recorded almost entirely on a Eurorack modular synthesizer, with the exception of the lead on “Night at the Nameless city,” which was played on an Arturia Pigment virtual synth.
Almost Random’s ‘Fragments From the Waning World’ traces Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle
Almost Random describes “Fragments From the Waning World” as “conceived as a journey through six short stories by Howard Phillips Lovecraft,” moving from the docks of Celephaïs through the mists of Kingsport before reaching the darker tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. The album is dedicated to David Camus, the French translator whose work reintroduced Almost Random to Lovecraft’s writing, with additional thanks credited to Ivan Cohen and Adrien Perinot. Artwork for the release comes from Cyclical Dreams, with photography by Amp Puttipong.
About Almost Random
No public biography for Almost Random could be verified. The release is hosted directly through the Cyclical Dreams Bandcamp account rather than a separate artist page. “Fragments From the Waning World” follows other 2026 additions to the Cyclical Dreams catalog previously covered by Side-Line, including D*Time’s “Nightwoven”, released 8 May 2026, and Christian Wittman’s “Andromeda”, released 5 January 2026, both Berlin School and ambient releases on the same Buenos Aires-based label. Cyclical Dreams describes itself as a label, distributor and cultural project focused on Berlin School, ambient, soundscape, space music and drone.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
