What's the eeriest album you've ever heard?

Eerie albums are always curious, they evoke a certain liminal feeling in oneself, none More so than Everywhere at the End of Time.

Everhwere At The End of Time is a project by The Caretaker, he discovered in the early 2000s that if you run old tapes, they'll slowly decay. So, he decided to do this with old ballroom music from the 1940s, thus creating a very liminal atmosphere. Each album slowly decays from slightly crackly old ballroom music to a wall of white sound. The series of albums is supposed to give the feeling of what it's like having dementia.

Are there any albums (or series of albums) you've heard that evoke a similar feeling?

I don't know if I've heard many albums that qualify as eerie but I suppose First Utterance by Comus comes close. To me that's more wacked out though. Maybe some early VDGG qualifies or maybe the Devil's Triangle by KC? Eerie doesn't seem to fit very well for most of the music I've heard. I suppose it would have to some soundtrack stuff and I haven't really heard much Goblin yet.

I am thinking Art Zoyd's music or Tangerine Dream's early releases, especially 'Zeit'.

Here's something from this year, in fact one of the offical top 25 releases of 2024 at RYM (albeit at #23):

Any album by Present. Especially "Le Poison..."

I think lot of VDGG/Hammill songs would fit the theme
In the black room PH Chameleon Lp
A Louse is not a home from PH Silent corner Lp
Got from PH In camera LP
Necromancer VDGG 1st LP
Arrow : VDGG Godbluff
A Plague of lighthouse keeper from VDGG Pawn hearts
