Creepiest BoC Song?

[Helios]

At the moment, Jacquard Causeway.

The entirety of Geogaddi just creeps me the fuck out actually; I don't know what it is, but it definitely has this undulating, sinister aura about it.

It's such a bizarre and beautiful album. But way bizarre...

Oirectine is the type of creepy/awesome song that really got my BoC gears running when I first started listening to them. It really sets the pace for me. Dat synth, ZOMG it's so ominous AND inviting...

Also:
Opening the Mouth/Gyroscope - Pretty self explanatory
Basefree - it makes me anxious. I really enjoy it, but it gets my anxiety up

I'm purposely leaving out Beware the Friendly Stranger - HOWEVER - when coupled with that damn Salad Fingers, it's quite creepy

I don't condone drug use, but drugs might explain the undulating, sinister aura

If you put Opening the Mouth's sounds over top of that...holy bajeezus.

[In_The_Annexe]

^ yeah that would do it.

Nah. That's dark and maybe a little unsettling, but it's not that creepy. It's too simple and straightforward to be truly creepy. Creepiness requires subtlety.

Uritual is a new contender, it's like being covered in bees.

NOT THE BEES!

I agree with folks who say Diving Station. I find that one truly unsettling. Same wrongness as House of Abin'adab, but I like Diving Station better as a song.

That's the cool thing about opinions. We all have them. Maybe close your eyes and tell me what you picture when you hear it eh?

Everything about 'The Devil is in the Details' is designed for maximum creep factor! The crackling burning sound for the beats, the echoing melody, the crying girl! But most of all that creepy distorted brain programmer therapist and her weird suggestions, and the way her voice get's more and more distorted as you are sucked into her words! I sometimes wonder if she hasn't got inside my head a bit!

I actually find the... crying? wailing? in The Devil is in the Details pretty hilarious. "WaaAAAaah". I think that track is a bit of a pisstake actually.

What was the name of that Throbbing Gristle track which used a similar voice, telling people to relax, open their eyes, etc.?

[El Camino]

Beware the Friendly Stranger, sometimes it scares the shit out of me.

Diving Station

that driving synth effect thing and the depressing piano together just set me on edge

Diving Station: Beautiful and kinda creepy.

It's like a perfect mix, love that track.

Diving Station indeed. That almost homely, humble little piano motif engulfed by that immense flickering, fizzing sound. Like coming upon the base of something standard scale only to look up and up and realise its f**kin vast!

Throbbing Gristle track

HAHAHA Not sure which one you mean but what a great way to describe a piece of music.

Not much relaxation going on in the lyrics, but this made me think of TG's Hamburger Lady, especially the "WaaAAAaah" bit. A truly disturbing piece of music.

wow really? I think this song is so dreamy. It makes me think about exploring mystical forests and watching strange butterflies flit in the sun. /end totally stoned transmission

I never really saw The Color of the Fire as being that creepy, tbh, though A is to B as B is to C is both hauntingly creepy and beautiful at the same time. Headphones + nightime walk in a dimly lit area, ehk.
