I think that there's an overlap with the 'psychedelic music' topic. Can's Tago Mago to me is 'uncanny' in parts, eg Augmn. Also Yoko's Plastic Ono Band, which has increased in my estimation with time. I would add Tangerine Dream's Phaedra, which culminates with the short but spooky and 'other' Sequent C. That record was out on its own when released. Wild card: Richard and Linda Thompson's I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight, which I have returned to recently, using it as one of the albums I construct melodies too while giving my guitar chops a reboot. Towards the end it goes to some dark places, the guitar at the end of The Great Valerio enough to give me goosebumps.


I fell asleep to Phaedra only last night ;-) An album which gets better and more mysterious every time I listen to it.
