 Topic: Freakiest Song
Posted: November 20 2006 at 15:12 |
what's the freakiest song(s) you know in the world of prog?
when my musical knowledge wasnt as vast as it is now, ii would have said 'On the Run' by Pink Floyd. it's still scary, but i know better.
'It Can't Happen Here' by Frank Zappa freaks me out every time, especially when im messed up. i can make it to the strange instrumental section, but when it, out of no where, comes back to the weird vocal parts, i usually last half a minute or so before i have to change songs.
another would be 'A Saucerful of Secrets' by Pink Floyd. The ultimate one being on Ummagumma. bad things happen in my head listening to this song, unless i make it to the end then it's very rewarding.
at the moment im trying to think of more songs, but cant. ill add some later on.
how bout you guys?

Diana by Comus, off First Utterance...
Well, actually, just about anything off that album, but Diana is more freaky, while the rest are simply disturbing... Not surprising considering that the main songwriter was in and out of an insane asylum...

Carry Stress In The Jaw by Mr. Bungle - crazy free jazz/death metal combination
Elastic by Meshuggah... the most extreme metal madness in my collection
Fantomas' Delirium Cordia... one of the weirdest/darkest/freakiest/longest(70 minutes) compositions that I know
Iron, Glass Blocks And White Lights
by Merzbow - 20 minutes of hardcore Japanese noise
There's more, but I'm too lazy now...

All of its songs are noise. Merzbuddha is another great album if you enjoy them.
I would like to add Squeeze me macaroni by Mr.Bungle as well. The song isn't really freaky, but the lyrics... the lyrics can make you puke!

Pink Floyd's One of These Days (The maniacal voice towards the end still gives me the creepies) and Bike (the noises at the end ..... like nails on a chalkboard).
For a non-prog entry: Alice Cooper's Cold Ethyl...... Any song extolling the virtues of necrophilia ranks way up there on the freaky scale.

Double Dare by Bauhaus: between Peter Murphy's pure rage, the off-kilter drums whacked echo guitar and that evil sounding 2 note fuzz-bass riff, it's good Halloween material

I really don't get freaked out by any vocals or music... even stuff like Comus. I find it beautiful though, not disturbing.
I cannot think of a singer piece that I get panicky about.
Do try something by Univers Zero or Present though, they do some terrifically dark stuff, but not necessarily freaky.

Gotta be something by Comus, they're the only band that can actually freak me out.
Mr. Bungle used to scare the crap out of me too, but I guess I've listened to it too much. I have a crazy fear of clowns, so circus music in general will mess with my head.

I'm currently listening to White Willows The Reach, and the start and the middle of this song are really creepy.

I never found Diana to be that weird or freaky. Drip Drip is IMO the freakiest on that album (Even the Earth will fill the crack where entered my blade; as I carry you to your grave, etc.), but Herald is a close second. I don't know why, but something about that track freaks me out every time.
A Plague of Lighthouse keepers is awefully freaky too. Come to think of it, a lot of VdGG and pH is that way.
Some of the stuff by the KC ProjeKcts freaks me out, especially Deception of the Thrush.
Lots of Arthur Brown can be freaky too. The Crazy World has some stuff like that (Nightmare, Fire Poem), but Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come had the freakiest stuff. His entire Journey album gives me creeps.
