I can't help but mention the BioShock OST. It does a phenomenal job of evoking the dying breaths of a crumbling utopia; the city of Rapture is constantly reminding you of its grandiosity and what it was meant to be, but also of the ever-present danger as Rapture's citizens clamber for their survival. I'm a huge fan of the opening tracks, especially "You Have to Save My Family" and the plethora of emotions it evokes (particularly dread and despair.) The opening strings in "Steinmann" give me goosebumps every time. That OST is a masterpiece.
Agreed! I have a copy of it, and I like to give it a spin every once in a while. The opening to "Welcome to Rapture" is my favorite with its mysterious violin, the thumping base, and the chimes.
one track for me would be "My Warm Blood", the closer on "The Glow, Pt. 2" by the Microphones. I've fallen asleep to this album so many times and waking during the final minutes is always so unsettling: the repeating muffled bell, the pumping of a blood, the snippets of sound, it has a habit of making its way into whatever I'm dreaming of and turning it cold.
I listened to Air - SBP because or this video. When you mentioned he saying he wanted to die so calmly that it was terrifying, I thought you were exageratting... You weren't
I don't wanna be that guy but I also think another really unsettling piece of music is "The Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. For me personally the monologue sounds like someone describing the world after it's fallen to a dystopian regime. That or a survivor talking about the world before a nuclear apocalypse.
Several pieces of Mark Morgan's work for classic fallout embody the eerieness of post apocalypse. Fallout 1 bleeds with desolation and fear. Vats of goo has this ever-present dread to it that perfectly embodies the existential horror of being twisted into an FEV abomination. Fallout 2 ramps this up but adds in a much more "busy" feel as the wastes have split up among warring states of Vault City, New Reno and NCR. The world has progressed but dread, death and desolation loom around every corner. A lot of reused tracks from Fallout 1 are appropriately used in the more desolate areas and places from the first game.
Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter (formerly Lingua Ignota) just released her first album under her new alias, SAVED!. It is an extremely chilling piece of folk, gospel music, and prepared piano music that sounds like a nightmarish interpretation of an old church recording by some kind of cult. Hayter's vocals and arrangement on the interconnected "IDUMEA" and "I WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS" are hauntingly beautiful. The intro "I'M GETTING OUT WHILE I CAN" features so much vinyl deterioration that the song stops and starts like the record is broken. And when Hayter starts speaking in tongues on the opener and closer "HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING", its borderline horrifying. Truly a masterpiece.
