Toby Driver's solo album In The L...L...Library Loft might be right up your alley.

They're not always quite as dark, but you may enjoy Aranis. Big influence from the Univers Zero school of thought especially.

I picked up a few suggestions off this thread too! Checking out the Klaus as we speak.

Unfortunately it looks like all these records are deleted, though they sound perfect for me  I did find a piece on Youtube for Syrinx which is quite compelling: Thanks for the excellent suggestions. |

It is one of my favourite albums - often played in this house (on headphones, as not everyone appreciates it). Thanks for the suggestion though! You are probably aware, but the mighty Comus actually have a new album - 'Out of the Coma' - available. I don't have it yet so can't recommend one way or the other.

You need some Syrinx. French zeuhl/fusion band with loads of intricate dark and perplexing rhythms.
Also: Art Zoyd Haxan  no links right now, but I recently wrote a review about it and gave it the full five beads. Menacing, occult, turbulent and wonderfully hypnotic.

The more unpleasant the better so far as I'm concerned. It goes on my list, thank you. |

This is very interesting to me, certainly the kind of thing I am looking for. Thank you for the suggestion & review.

Rubycon I have got on cassette tape (!) somewhere but have not listened to for many years. More synth-lead than what I was thinking of but has got to be worth a replay or two. I will dig it out again, also add the Schulze to my list. Thanks!

Comus - First Utterance. Quite dark and strange folk prog.

Oooh, very interesting call with Klaus Schulze's `Vie Electronique - vol 1', Progbethyname! I was just listening to that last night at work (NOT a popular choice for others in my office!
). It's a very hypnotic and eerie, highly repetitive and chilly electronic album. Lots of long, drifting near-gothic isolating soundscapes composed on heavily treated organ. Very otherwordly music!
Mascodagama - Speaking of Schulze, I would highly recommend you try the following album if you want something dark and quite unnerving: Klaus Schulze - Blackdance 
It's a VERY unpleasant but highly fascinating and draining musical experience. It's one of my favourite albums, I also wrote a fairly pretentious review of it here too!

I just reviewed an album/band yesterday which seems to fit these criteria. Norwegian project called "When". I found a playlist on Youtube of some of their material, though nothing from the album I reviewed. Still, might be your kind of thing:

Tangerine dream's RUBYCON and KLAUS SCHULTZE's , Vie electronique vol 1. It's brilliant with some dark eerie soundscapes that is completely instrumental. It's great. :)

For quite a while now I have been on a kick where my main prog listening has been things like Guapo, Univers Zero, Present, Grails, Zaar, Sotos, Nought, Yeti, Tarantula Hawk, live recordings of 1973-4 King Crimson, and a bit of Anglagard. In Progarchives terms this spans a few sub-genres but there are common factors...can anyone suggest similar music I should investigate?
Thanks for any help.
