I was pleasantly surprised to discover the following essay in the latest issue of 'Faunus' (The Journal of the 'Friends of Arthur Machen').

"Spectre vs. Rector: The Fall and Arthur Machen" by Mark Goodall

Despite countless years of listening to The Fall I had no idea that Mark E. Smith was a Machen fan (no doubt in part due to my inability to decipher some of his more impenetrable lyrics!).

I wonder what he thinks of Ligotti?

I'm a little eclectic, but do like the dark melanomic nature of these two groups:

Cult of Luna

Cult_of_Luna

When this post-metal band moved into a converted mental institution, they stumbled upon an unexpected diary from an inmate: "Tales of the Eternal Kingdom," and its contents (dealing with an imaginary dimension of being from which monstrous entities streamed into our world commiting abysmal crimes, one of them being the murder of his wife...) provided them the potencies of their lyrical and dark invective albumn.

Erdenstern: At the Mountains of Madness - Music inspired by H.P. Lovecraft
Along with Nox Arcana and Midnight Sinicate they provide contemplative and melancholic music for those of us who enjoy RPG...

For something new, it has been Motion Sickness of Time Travel

He's a big Lovecraft fan too. Here's a video of him reading 'The Colour out of Space':

Too many to list, really. I go through periods of mostly listening to electronic, folk, classical, postpunk, jazz, etc...

The ones I always come back to include Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Joy Division, Kraftwerk, Shirley Collins, Thomas Tallis...
