I voted Beware The Friendly Stranger because it always reminds me of that scene in Poltergeist 2 where the little girl is playing outside in front of the house and it starts to rain just as that creepy half dead looking dude comes strolling up the sidewalk with a big scary smile on his face singing, "God Is In His Holy Temple..."

However, that's not the scariest one. House Of Abin'adab takes those honors. It sounds like a fucking haunted house moaning in twisted, tortured pain.

I had to go with Beware The Friendly Stranger only because that subject matter is most horrifying. There are some sick people out there... and this song captures the uneasy feeling you might get from such a person. (Sometimes you just know.)

no boc song disturbs me, however, you could feel the sky gives me a sense of detachment which can be slightly unnerving.

edit: i just read that others agree with me on you could feel the sky. azamarro said that he couldn't explain why, which is partially my thoughts as well. i also agree that house of abin'adab (it reminds me of tubular bells from the exorcist) has a disturbing quality to it.

the song corsair also has an eerie, detached feeling.

I was just listening to AFOT using XBMC and House of Abin'adab came on, and Milkdrop decided to show a pulsing and flashing pentagram while it was playing - it definitely drove home how this song just oozes the sound of evil and desolation!

Of course, when we say disturbing, we mean we love it, right?

Because I have now come to point where I believe "The Smallest Weird Number" disturbs me the most. It sounds fine if you listen to it lightly, but when you really think about it, it sounds horrible, like memories melting...dribbling down like wax. I get images of faces just melting like a candle. And I love it! :twisted:

Something sinister about the dog's voice in The Story Of Xentrix.

First time I heard that it brought a tear to my eye. I totally dig what you're saying.

Yeh, something longing and sad about it and the dog, dunno, seems like it's been round the block a few times and lived 100000 years or something.

The Prime Audio Soup remix is kinda creepy I find..I just realized how amazing it is the other day as I've barely listened to it.It has all these Geogaddi shades, even the 1969 melody..and kids voices and shit..its A-mazing. Yet dark, and eerie at the same time.

I love the acidy funk to it. Like an introverted Luke Vibert.

almost forgot about the disturbing 'otv1 - 23 - untitled'
It's OTv1 disc 2 track 8.
WOW! It's like a possessed children's song-box! And that booming drum doesn't help make it any happier...

The very start of An Eagle in your Mind is very "eerie" to me as is the start of Everything you do is a Balloon, but as a whole the song that freaks me out the most is Sixtyten.

All the songs on the list are capable of giving me goosebumps in a nice freaked out way.

Gyroscope i love, but it doesn't work with LSD. i got totally freaked out to the point of leaving the room and going outside. Curious, because i was quite familiar with the song at the time.
RIP

My next acid trip is not going by without me listening to Geogaddi in its entirety. Even if it's just me sitting in the corner with some headphones..should be next weekend :twisted:
