Scary/Magical/Creepy music?

[Subversive Pessimist]

I like the music from Hans Zimmer, but I have for a long time been looking for music that is challenging. Do you know of any groups or songs that evoke magical or perhaps scary feelings?

A Silver Mount Zion

It's not religious, don't worry ;) somewhat like a cross between Chicago Underground and Mogwai with a little psychodelia mixed in. I like it.

Some almost anthemic tracks out there too... pretty much all orchestral stuff, but there's a whole host of other sounds in there.

[Funky Monk]

Aphex Twin.


Come To Daddy is one of the most disturbing songs i have ever listened to.
Otherwise go to newgrounds.com and look for a cartoon called "Smile", that has some mood music.

PIIICOOOOOO!

I love that site ;)

Aphex Twin is the SHIT man, I dunno why I didn't think to recommend. Selected Ambient Works is a good starter if you ain't into electronic music.

To be honest, without my music db I&#39;m at a bit of a loss <_< :(
I&#39;ll see what I can remember as the evening progresses, else I&#39;ll try and mind to post something back when I get home

I&#39;ve got rather a lot of &#39;interesting&#39; music :lol:

enigma...need you look any further?

If you need more check out Mortiis. the origonal stuff is 100% dark trance but, his new shit is a kind of Trance/Rock blend

[suffianr]

Technical Itch, Dieselboy and Cause 4 Concern are a few names within drum n bass circles that create an almost operatic senes of melancholy and fear.

On the flipside, you can also try Bjork.

[Purple]

maybe inkubus sukkubus...

You want really creepy music?

I may have just the thing for you.

A composer named Penderecki was asked to produce a piece commemorating the victimes of Hiroshima.

You would expect him to produce a nice, sad, reflective piece.

Instead he composed a piece to make you feel like you were actually there.

Penderecki-Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima.

It&#39;s great.

One of the best examples of artistic music ever created - and one of the worst examples of &#39;listenable&#39; music ever created

It certainly evokes an emotional reaction... and causes the ears to bleed

So yes, I think it serves as a reminder, but in comparison to the event the song is very tame.

A must hear though.

what sort of genre does the music fall into?

The genre of 52 string instruments screeching discordant atonal harmonies.

Nah....I&#39;d say it&#39;s experimental music.

It&#39;s not &#39;nice&#39; to listen to.

But it&#39;s certainly &#39;worth&#39; listening to.

I&#39;ve seen the score, the guy doesn&#39;t even use notation, it&#39;s a bunch of demonic wavy lines.

For something &#39;magical&#39; might I suggest Jean Michel Jarre&#39;s earlier (late 70&#39;s) works, Equinoxe and Oxygene, both about 40mins long and containing lively and upbeat parts and also more ambient/contemplative parts, I found it really amazing as a young &#39;un, and it&#39;s still fascinating today.
