I have never found this record creepy. is wonder creepy? this record is too architectural to be creepy. it's like Shadow of the Colossus, or that Borges story where the guy finds the city of the immortals. it's the feeling of wandering around mysterious ruins, washed out by too-bright sunlight, knowing that there is no other human being within a hundred miles or a thousand years. there is a word for that feeling, but creepy is not that word.

Is it just me, or are the song names hugely varied depending on what release one has? I have track titles on my copy that dont match up with, for eg, what lastfm lists as the track titles. For example what lastfm calls "Z-Twig" is called something else on my copy (some one word noun. I dont have it on me to check right now).

There are a couple of variants. I didn't know there were any versions where the tracks were actually named on the artwork. All the UK releases had just pictures, as far as I know.

oops. but that is the perfect analogy, it's the aural equivalent to that bleached-out and abandoned look of shadow... and ico.

I missed the chance to buy this on vinyl a couple of years ago :( Worst "I'm gonna wait another few weeks and then decide" ever.

toss-up between "Curtains" and "Tassels"

I think the only track I find flat-out creepy is the penultimate one on Disc 2 (White Blur 2, I think) -- just a short evil-circus loop with sped-up laughter on top, repeat for 11+ minutes. I guess it's almost cliche-creepy. OMG guys fingers crossed that they'll use it during the baby-stabbing scene in Saw 7!

Oh shi
Yeah, Karen kind of on the money. Couple of the tracks on Analogue Bubblebath 4 go there a bit too.

Dude. I've probably listened to Pomme Fritz nearly as many times as SAW II (which is to say a metric fuckton of times), so how did I only just now notice that 'His Immortal Logness' contains the same creepy laugh sample (apparently taken from whatever the original source is???) as SAW II track 2.11 ('White Blur 2')?
