this record is too architectural to be creepy. it's like Shadow of the Colossusyes!

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')?
