Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks


I'm looking for more of the REAL GOOD, maybe unheard-of stuff.
Really got hooked on Asche & Spencer's *Monster's Ball*, along with some tunes from *Dead Man Walking*, *Johnny Handsome*, etc.
Music that completely takes you into a far-away galaxy, lets you concentrate on loneliness, yet ................. you want to crank the volume way-up and dwell within it.

Popol Vuh's soundtrack for Werner Herzog's brilliant late-70's remake of "Nosferatu". Eerie, ethereal, moody - all here in spades. A minimalist "krautrock" masterpiece. It's quite an adventurous instrumental album - if you're the type that plays it safe, this one may not appeal to you.
Try Phillip Glass's re-scoring for the original "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi, performed by the Kronos Quartet.
If you haven't got it already this CD will twist your head and stretch your rig. Beware of imitations; the original says Produced by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti on the back:

Soundtrack from Twin Peaks/Angelo Badalamenti
Warner Bros 9 26316-2.

For a long ride into a deep space labyrinth try this double CD:

Heinz Holliger/Scardanelli-Zyklus
ECM New Series 1472/73

The choral parts of these scary, floating compositions remind me of the freakiest, unexplainable parts of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001.
