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? ------------- The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time... |

Shub-Niggurath - their first two albums (haven't heard the rest) but it's soooo gloomy & eerie that it's difficult to take their music seriously, which of course kind of ruins the intent. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| 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. |

| It's going to be an electronic music soundtrack of some sort for a horror film I guess. Songwise the theme tune to the excellent MGM series From would count for me. |

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

For eerie, as opposed to creepy, I'll go with the time-honored classic, Rubycon by Tangerine Dream. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
