"Careful with that ax Eugene" - Pink Floyd (Ummagumma)
"Grey Walls" - Richard Thompson (Rumor and Sigh)
|
Another vote for Sufjan Stevens' "John Wayne Gacy, Jr.". Quite possibly the most moved I have ever been, in any direction, by any song ever. |
"Haunting" as in "gets inside your head and your nervous system and won't go away" -- probably, for me, an album titled "Alina," music composed by Arvo Part, on the ECM label. It is just this side of silence, and it is achingly beautiful. |
The soundtrack to Magnolia hints at haunting....Its a great piece of mucic and deffinatly can give you some chills.... |
Rachmaninoff, "Isle of the Dead"
|
"John Wayne Gacey, Jr." by Sufjan Stevens. When Sufjan sings "oh my God," if you don't get goose bumps, your dead. No pun intended.
Also Jeff Buckley singing "Mojo Pin." |
Dark was the Night, Cold Was the Ground |
... by Blind Willie Johnson, (which, incidentally, is one of the musical selections recorded onto the Voyager Golden Record). |
|
Morton Feldman's *Piano and String Quartet* with the Kronos String Quartet on Nonesuch (CD only). |
The second movement of Chopin's piano concerto #2, especially when played by Charles Rosen, it virtually shimmers as it disapears |
I would say the first movement to the Rachmanioff piano con no#3.....stunning music. The 3rd movement to the Sibelius sym no#2.... |
Teargas and Plateglass "One Day Across the Valley" Johnny Cash "Hung my Head" |
A track on the Mulholland Drive soundtrack is chilling. It's a spanish a cappella version of Roy Orbison's Crying titled Llorando by Rebekah Del Rio. Crazy deep & cavernous reverb and what a voice. |
Robert Miles "Organik" fits the bill.
ET |
Check out "Polly Come Home" by Robert Plant and Allison Krauss. The opening bass line creeps me out. |
Brian Ferry - Boys and Girls
Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Sessions
Daniel Lanois - Belladonna
Chris Whitley - Soft Dangerous Shores |
Don't know the name or artist at this time, but the song that plays during the credits at the end of "No Country for Old Men". |
The wedding march. Touche' Monsieur Enthrope..... |
For a deeper cut, there's an "achingly-beautiful" thread that's been going for near on eight years here. |
Scott Walker "The Drift"
Will |
'Four More Years' by Warrior Soul |
Gorecki's Symphony #3 comes to mind... |
"Song To The Siren" This Mortal Coil
"Miserere" Allegri, performed by The Tallis Scholars |
Orff. Period.
Orff "Carmana Burina" |
|
House On The Hill by Audience (for best sound - UK first press Charisma pink scroll label)...Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath...The Fall Of The House Of Usher by Alan Parson! |
"The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughn Williams |
when it comes to 'haunting', the church still rule. i have to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy them, but on occasion, they are incredible......add 'still i'm sad' by the yardbirds,'wild mountain tyme' by the byrds, and 'love will tear us apart' by joy division. |
