so is gyroscope, whoa, but what an amazing track. even happy cycling is a little ominous.

maybe you guys will think i'm crazy, but I always skip '84 Pontiac Dream. I wouldnt say it's creepy, but it makes me feel uneasy for some reason.


I've always wanted a song to give me the, "Holy shit I must skip the because it's to fucking powerful!" effect but I haven't come across one just yet. Someday.

you're a braver man than I :lol: .. but yeah. As much as music can make me elated, it can also easily make me uncomfortable . And 84 pontiac dream makes me feel uncomfortable.

I always got such a relaxed and beautiful vibe from 84, right up there with Horizon Radar. I saw someone added Skimming Stones to the creepy list, too. That, to me is one of the most nostalgically beautiful pieces I think they've ever done. Totally makes me feel like a kid.

It's crazy how one person can hear one thing, and someone else will hear it entirely different.

Very true.
And also, how one can begin by disliking a track and in time it becomes a favorite. I hated Dawn Chorus at first... and Amo Bishop Roden.. now they are rrrright up there for me.

I see it more as sitting on that fine line between 'innocent' and 'genuinely disturbing'.

You could feel the sky. It gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it. It makes me think of being lost in the wilderness in the middle of the night with satan following me. And the part with the man yelling/singing sounds like someone in the distance being devoured.
