When I was a kid Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds used to give me nightmares. But I loved it. Not the nightmares, the music.
There is a Jaws documentary where they talk about the music and the use of it. Between the music and the yellow barrels, they managed to create suspense. Which was handy, because a lot of the time the mechanical shark, Bruce, wasn’t working.

Uh oh, here comes Callis with his crazy-shAt.
Ok, i give you this performance at the Mercury Music Awards. Make music like this please.
I’m pretty sure my housemate who’s very much into his Mogwai/Steve Abini/Melvins sh1t told me to check this band out. Did you listen to the Daughters track above? I think you’ll like that if this is your vibe. It’s similar but darker.
Black Midi have a real The Fall vibe to it, I’m feeling it man.
Have you heard Part Chimp. My housemate got me very late to the party on them recently.
Also think you might dig this whilst it’s 11pm and I’m off on one with music RN anyway...

Listened to your first batch now, all pretty good through headphones. The first one would've been good with a signer IMO, the last one was truly disturbing. Really like the Daughters and Skrillax tracks.
I see what you mean about The Fall with Black Midi... I also thought Eartha Kit!

I don't get the hype for Black Midi, the singer's voice sounds like he's taking the piss, reminds me of the devil bit in that Tenacious D song where they'd wrote the greatest song. Not my bag at all.

There’s an Ipswich band called Project Mork you should look up too. I think you’ll dig the weirdness of that.

I always felt like that about Battles on Mirrored. Then again Mark E. Smith was often being a sarcastic smart ass in his words too.
It’s very avant garde the Black Midi vocals. Reminds me of Scott Walker.
Speaking of which he did a record with SunnO))) if you wanna go down a weird hole when Avant Garde meets a low frequency Doom band with no drummer and...
I can’t do SunnO))) justice. You’ll hear it and be like this is just noise and it is. But live it’s an experience. You don’t go to a SunnO))) gig, you EXPERIENCE them. Even Youtube videos can’t sell it. I fully recommend going when they next play the UK.

I almost find the idea that 'Tubular Bells' is scary to be objectional. To me it is an evocative piece that projects warmth, fond memories and a tableaux of early seventies types or a car ride through rolling hills towards an idyllic beach on a sun drenched coast. Perhaps this illustrates the deceptions that the senses can bring to the processing parts of our brain and how that is dependent upon first impressions. Because for many people around the World the first time they heard 'Tubular Bells' was a fragment used in the soundtrack of 'The Exorcist' but for most British people it was a fragment used in an advert for The Milk Marketing Board as the background for a homely farmer setting off and milking his friendly looking herd in loving soft focus (and I can't find that ad on YouTube to demonstrate this so I am waiting for the usual suspects to accuse me of remembering it wrong because in actual fact the farmer went mad and topped all the cows with a shotgun).

The music didn't give me nightmares, but that 1950's film adaption of it did. The nights I lay wake in case a martian probe came snaking into my bedroom.

Until I googled "Exorcist theme tune" with a view to posting that on here-because seeing the film when it first came out was terrifying-I did not realise that this was the theme from the film.

Sorry, rant over.

I am assuming the Milk Marketing board advert came out in the 70s. I wasn't born until the late 70s. The first time I ever heard this tune was when I watched the Exorcist for the first time about 20 years ago. I didn't even realise it was Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells until years later. Perhaps if I had been born 10 years earlier and had seen The Milk Marketing board advert the tune would evoke different emotions in me but it's only natural to associate a song to the feeling you felt when you first heard it.
