Delving into the horror of sound
 
Greetings all, i've just started on a project with a couple of friends of mine, each of us has to come up with a 30 song playlist containing the most unsettling, terrifying pieces of music we know. I so far have around 20 tracks, which are posted below. What im asking from you is do you have any other suggestions, and if you were to do one of these, what would your 20 consist of?

Mine thus far:

Comus - Bitten
Cromagnon - Toth, Scribe I
Set Fire To Flames - There Is No Dance In Frequency And Balance
Henry Cow - Solemn Music
Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron
Popol Vuh - Die Nacht Der Himmel
Michael Gordon - Excerpt Three
Bauhaus - Double Dare
Massacre - Gate
Daniel Johnston - Despair Came Knocking
Trencher - Nightmares On Crack St
Art Bears - Civilization
Faust - Mamie Is Blue
White Noise - Love Without Sound
The Residents - Isolation
Swans - Beautiful Child
Arab On Radar - God Is Dad
Flying Saucer Attack - Rainstorm Blues
Mount Eerie - My Heart Is Not At Peace
This Heat - Cenotaph
Throbbing Gristle - What A Day
Nurse With Wound - Two Mock Projections
The Telescopes - Oil Seed Rape
MARS - Hairwaves
This Mortal Coil - The Horizon Bleeds And Sucks It's Thumb.

I've left out bands like The Cure and Siouxie & The Banshees because i wanted to go down a more challenging route.

Some personal favorites of mine that you could benefit from checking out.

Violent Femmes - Country Death Song


Violent Femmes - Never Tell


Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Tupelo


King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (For sheer mindblowing factor)


Leadbelly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?


Leonard Cohen - Avalanche


I'd post some more but I've got to run.

Check out Spires That In The Sunset Rise. Really it depends on who your audience is, if it's someone who already loves Comus then good luck freaking them out. If it is someone kind of new to the harder stuff to get into then even easy listening like Nick Cave should do the trick. It's all subjective in my book.

These are some pretty interesting artists that Zarko was writing about.

I was listening to this earlier on and you should take something off this:

and this:


Dead Machines are a good bet too.

Man I love that King Crimson, but I wouldn't really call it scary. Just awesome.

But Country Death Song is creepy as hell.
