Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs


I want to thank everyone who contributed to my last request for albums where all the songs were good. I find myself going back to my favorite genre of music (if it is such a thing), Mysterious, Mystical, Haunting type songs. My ‘Best of Mysterious’ CD’s have a lot of playtime.
I don’t want to overwhelm everyone right off the bat, so here are a few from my playlist:

Would welcome your contributions. Thanks in advance.  Corey

Tons of Celtic, Brit folk rock. Traditional Brit music tops for me here, stories from times when the mystical was truth.

Italian prog band, Eris Pluvia made a great one in the mid 90's called, "Rings of Earthly Light", that is haunting from open to close. 

Rings of Earthly Light

Lots of stuff by Mike Oldfield.

Especially: Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, and Ommadawn.

Ommadawn

Almost anything by Loreena McKennitt.

Lots of stuff by Irish band, Clanad.

You want mysterious, mystical and haunting?: Dead Can Dance. Nuff said.

First thing to entered my mind.

Most recorded very well, too.

Dwarfland Love Theme - Badalamenti

Before The Devil Knows Your Dead - Carter Burwell.

I’m Sam Too - Clint Mansell.

Lux Aeterna - Ligeti

 

 

A lot of great songs on the list, I have many but I am going to have to go through it and check out the rest.

All three of these are from growing up, when I got older I tracked them all down which wasn't easy at the time. Before internet so I had to try and catch the name on the radio and then go to music stores and search for them.

Thunder Island - Jay Ferguson
I come alive - Jay Ferguson

Crackerbox Palace - George Harrison

Probably nearly every song by Nick Cave.

I respect positions he has adopted on certain matters of principle.

Only one I've ever heard, Bernard's Pycho OST.

He ame close for DePalma's Sister's 12 years later.

 

 

Dream Weaver - Gary Wright

Takes me on a mind trip every time.
 

Time Passages - Al Stewart

Year Of The Cat - Al Stewart

You want mysterious and haunting - Listen to the soundtrack from "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir"

Two hypnotic tracks that may be what you seek are:

Pink Floyd: Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (agree with Dweller) and

(Jazz) John Coltrane:  Ole Coltrane
