Hey folks, I would like to hear some more really eerie music. Music that brings you nightmares, as worse as possible. Can anyone give me some recommends of really eerie music that I haven't heard yet. Especially in the classical field there's a lot of music that I haven't heard yet. But any recommend is much appreciated. These are some records which I really love and I think that are really eerie: Naked City - Grand Guignol Painkiller - Execution Ground Kronos Quartet - Black Angels Keiji Haino - Watasi Dake Bernard Herrmann - Psycho OST Goblin - Suspiria OST Please, anyone, let me know of some more really eerie nightmarish music out there. Music you should not play at night. Any record I have not mentioned. I need help! Thanks, Kris

The disc of Fushitsusha in the "Driftworks" box completely freaked me in a late-night listening. Most others that I can think of are my own unreleased recordings. Some are so scary that UN weapons inspectors are threatening to investigate my DATs. -- | jzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | GPG: A4224EFA http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code / VoiceWAVE Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |

Some stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet (I think): There's a Nijiumu-sounding track on the Purple Trap box set called... Forest of Spirits, if I remember correctly, and one of the sections sounds just like what the title says, as if Haino placed some microphones in the woods and did a field recording and picked up disembodied sighing. Scary as all hell. The Exorcist soundtrack is also extremely effective (the Crumb piece in particular). Someone also mentioned Istvan Marta's "Doom: A Sigh," on the Kronos Quartet's Black Angels album. This brings to mind an Organum piece which was a recording of a boy burying his father -- am I remembering this correctly? There is also a whole genre of so-called dark ambient music, though a good amount of the practitioners rely on the same tonality of drone. Lustmord's "The Place Where the Black Stars Hang" is a great starting point, as is also "Heresy." Nurse With Wound's "Homotopy to Marie" is excellent as well -- nowhere near as pure dada as some of Stapleton's other stuff, nor as droney as, say, "Soliloquy for Lilith." Comus's "First Utterance" has a way of really getting under one's skin, though since it's acid-damaged psych folk it's an acquired taste. But if the image of mad, gibbering violinists, hangings, and things in the woods appeals to you... (Later David Tibet would do a very fine cover of Comus's "Diana" on Current 93's "Horsey" album -- now that I think of it, listening to Current 93's "Dogs Blood Rising" late at night really freaked me out.) And now to black metal: it's hard to take a group like Abruptum seriously because their main dudes are named It and Evil. (I keep thinking of Cousin It and Dr. Evil hamming it up together.) However, their album "Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me" is nothing but pure howling and screaming for an hour. Guaranteed to scare your neighbors. Later, Ben http://www.thewilyfilipino.com

This reminds me of Bob Ostertag's "Sooner or Later". http://detritus.net/ostertag/solocd.html#sooner -- | jzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | GPG: A4224EFA http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code / VoiceWAVE Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |

I would like to hear some more really eerie music. Check out the catalog at www.manifoldrecords.com. I say this because if there's one thing more fun than "dark ambient" it has to be reading Vince's descriptions of "dark ambient".

Keiji Haino - Nijiumu (and I think that was Nijiumu, not Fushitsusha, on the Driftworks box) Haino/Peter Brotzmann "Evolving Blush" CD "Safe, Not Sorry" - children's record put out by some Okie evangelicals. The songs are meant to warn the li'l innocents about the dangers of child molesters, kidnappers, and the like, but are written from the POV of the bad guys. The White-Winged Moth "I Can See Inside Your House" LP - there's a part of this with a recording of a rainstorm that's oddly affecting. And it's a fine record all around. Skip James "Devil Got my Woman" Didier Hebert "I Woke Up One Morning In May" and yes, dittos on Ligeti, Scelsi, Penderecki... never found Xenakis creepy, though. -Chris Selvig

Yup, now that you mention it, it was. No wonder I couldn't find any mention of that Fushisusha release on the web *embarrassed grin* -- | jzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | GPG: A4224EFA http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code / VoiceWAVE Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |

Don't feel bad. I spent 30 minutes the other day talking a friend's ear off about (and recommending) "Townes Van Zandt" - only to get home and realize that I had actually been talking about Van Dyke Parks. :) I andrew
