One of the secret pleasures of being a music nerd is hearing the surprise of other people when they realise what you're listening to. That happened to me while listening to JAJA - my son said, "What on earth was that music you were just playing!"
So thanks for that moment, rostasi, and thanks for uploading the JAJA tracks, which I really liked. They inspired me to look at a file of freak folk music that dankrsta posted here a while ago. A lot of the tracks in her file do a great job of conjuring up a spooky atmosphere, but then don't seem to go anywhere musically; as songs, they are about as satisfying as a cup of Monty Python tea, ("A cup of cold tea. Without milk. Or sugar. Or tea.") This track, by Fursaxa, is about the best one in her file imo:-
