Here's some of my scary stuff... Tangerine Dream: Zeit (like crazy space music, feel like Bowman in 2001) Robert Schroeder: Time Machine (from "Paradise" LP, animal shrieks and dissonant acoustic twangs over analogue strings etc) Leo Anibaldi: Nothing has Changed 12" (not ambient but scary techno, esp at the end of title track, sounds like ragtime band in hell!) afx: Analogue Bubblebath 3 trk 8 (on CD... reverbed strings etc... at one point some machine clicks and it does your head in what with all the delay etc) Plasma Lamp 12": (hmmmm, just weird and eerie) Scanner CD 1: (goes without saying!) Absolute (?): (some CD from Seattle that is _so_ fucked up I think only zombie heroin addicts from hell would get into it!) I have more but I can't think of it now! I like collecting that sort of stuff to play in ambient sets and scare people half to death! Brendan Nelson Kinetic Illusion

Blue Pearl's "Mother Dawn" (Buckateer (Orb) Mixes) Creaking door and floor sounds accompny heavily-echoed banging and clanging in a dub stylee, complete with slower than slow dub rhythm and bass on two tracks lasting something like 12 minutes apiece. A third, shorter track is just the creaking and a weird bass sound, very ambient which almost sets your mind adrift until it is startled back to reality with a surprise ending. chris

Why don't you try the Twin Peaks soundtrack? I can't remember track eight's name, but it still gives me the creeps, and I've had the album for four years now. Phil On Now: AI2

For some REALLY scary things, check the following: LUSTMORD: Monstruous soul BOYD RICE AND FRIENDS: Music, Martinis and Mysanthopy CURRENT 93: early stuff, notably Dogs Blood Rising on LAYLAH rec. (a lot of stuff on that label is dark) Some of the early HAFLER TRIO also, or even Throbbing Gristtle. If you want more, ask, I could do a more thorough search. Alain M.
