Greetings all, i've just started on a project with a couple of friends of mine, each of us has to come up with a 30 song playlist containing the most unsettling, terrifying pieces of music we know. I so far have around 20 tracks, which are posted below. What im asking from you is do you have any other suggestions, and if you were to do one of these, what would your 20 consist of?

Mine thus far:

Comus - Bitten
Cromagnon - Toth, Scribe I
Set Fire To Flames - There Is No Dance In Frequency And Balance
Henry Cow - Solemn Music
Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron
Popol Vuh - Die Nacht Der Himmel
Michael Gordon - Excerpt Three
Bauhaus - Double Dare
Massacre - Gate
Daniel Johnston - Despair Came Knocking
Trencher - Nightmares On Crack St
Art Bears - Civilization
Faust - Mamie Is Blue
White Noise - Love Without Sound
The Residents - Isolation
Swans - Beautiful Child
Arab On Radar - God Is Dad
Flying Saucer Attack - Rainstorm Blues
Mount Eerie - My Heart Is Not At Peace
This Heat - Cenotaph
Throbbing Gristle - What A Day
Nurse With Wound - Two Mock Projections
The Telescopes - Oil Seed Rape
MARS - Hairwaves
This Mortal Coil - The Horizon Bleeds And Sucks It's Thumb.

I've left out bands like The Cure and Siouxie & The Banshees because i wanted to go down a more challenging route.
