Just something I've been wondering given Geogaddi's reputation, which song creeps you out the most, or the least?

For me, Alpha and Omega.
The least, The Beach at Redpoint or 1969.

gotta be You Could Feel The Sky and Corsair
they capture the satanic, claustrophobic vibe of the album so well

a is to b as b is to c freaks me the fuck out at times.

Sunshine Recorder for me, though I love the song. Puts chills down my spine! I actually find Corsair to be quite beautiful, like a purely synthesized My Bloody Valentine song.

'a is to b...' - or - beware the friendly stranger.

just what are the warped instructions in 'a is to b...', but it believe the whole point is that boc want you to ask that, and form your own opinion about it, really letting your own imagination scare you. Great track.

as for 'beware...',
I read a patent on mind control that lets someone encode hidden messages and instruction inside of that kind of noise. I have always been freaked out thinking boc might have done that.

I don't buy into this geogaddi is a dark and sinister album theory, i remember being put off buying it for a while beacause everyone said it was unsettling and scary etc, but on the contrary i thinks its warm beautiful and uplifting.

You Could Feel The Sky makes my skin crawl not because it is creepy but because the stretchy scratchy sound actually bugs the hell out of me.

I also agree that Geogaddi's reputation precedes itself.

You Could Feel the Sky - the most

Over the Horizon Radar - the least

I would say Gyroscope. The voice on it is very unsettling.

The least would be Over The Horizon Radar and Corsair.

gyroscope is pretty fucking insane

same here. i never really got that impression. i was surprised to hear so many people saying that after i started looking into the album more.

i will say that "the devil is in the details" will make most everybody in a coffee shop uncomfortable when you play it over the shop's stereo system.

Creeps me out most: A Is to B As B Is to C, You Could Feel The Sky, The Devil Is In the Details, Music Is Math (towards the end)

Creeps me out least: Ready Lets Go, In the Annexe, Magic Window,

devil is in the details.

I'm surprised so many people find A is to B is to C creepy....to me it's just randomness. When I first started listening to BoC I found Sunshine Recorder, You Could Feel the Sky, Beware the Friendly Stranger, Gyroscope, and The Devil is in the Details the most "creepy." I don't really feel it anymore though after I've gotten used to their style. Well, maybe I still find Gyroscope creepy. That whole number stations thing always creeped me out.

For some reason the beginning of ABBC creeps me out when it's reversed, but apart from that I never really thought it was creepy, just odd. I'm surprised I'm the only one who said Alpha and Omega.

You Could Feel the Sky for sures...something about that tune has always weirded me out in that awesome but strange way.

I saw drones.

It gets me every time. Seriously, I can't help but think some seriously deranged stuff every time I hear it.

you could feel the sky,devil is in the details,and the last minute or so of alpha and omega

15. I Saw Drones
16. The Devil Is in the Details
17. A Is to B as B Is to C
These three continuous tracks forms the creepiest experience I've ever had.

You Could Feel The Sky and Opening The Mouth. The latter reminds me of a very specific childhood memory of being freaked out by faces I saw in the cliffs/rocks whilst on holiday in Yorkshire.
