I'd like to hear big scary Church Organ music

The kaleidoscopic pictures of Virgil's ass are a classy touch.

scariest music i ever heard was this Lutheran church organ in Stockholm

Wow, fantastic album cover!

Watch Carnival of Souls. Great use of extremely creepy organ music, plus a genuinely scary movie. Herk Harvey shows up in my nightmares from time to time.

can't lock the thread yet, nobody mentioned Hermann Nitsch's organ works.

search mutantsounds for "orgelkonzert", also his CD Komposition Fuer Orgel.

hurting, i am so happy you put virgil fox heavy organ up there! love it. and some of the best bits are his between-tune rants.

BACH HAS THE RED BLOOD! HE HAS THE COMMUNION WITH THE PEOPLE! THEY TRY TO PUT THE GREATEST MAN OF ALL TIME UP ON A DUSTY SHELF AND SAY HE CAN'T BE INTERPRETED WELL THEY'RE FULL OF YOU KNOW WHAT AND SO UNTALENTED THAT THEY COULDN'T GET IN THE HOUSE OF MUSIC ANY OTHER WAY!

Great movie about "big, scary church organ music" that cannot be missed:

Saw it at St. Bart's w/ live accompaniment, pried my head open....

There are a ton of French organ composers who have written massive, imposing works: Messian, Massenet, and Langlais come to mind initially.

Big! Scary! played by this man:

Some of it's quiet, but some is really huge. All good.

There are these moments where it sounds like he's just SLASHING across the keys on the loudest registration available, out of tempo. It's brutal. Beautiful.

whoa, i had no idea massenet wrote organ music. some others are Tournemire, Widor, DuprE, Vierne, Jehan Alain and DuruflE-- but no one is biggers or scarier than Messiaen.

Also, if you live near any actual churches that have big fuck-off organs, I would suggest attending a service or, if possible, a concert - because no stereo can really recreate the pew-shaking bass and presence of a real, big-ass pipe organ.

Keith Jarrett - Hymns/Spheres (1976)

improvisations recorded on a 18th century pipe organ of the Ottobeuren Abbey, a Benedictine abbey in Germany. microtonal effects acheived through careful movement of the stops.

the CD contains only the calmer sections, you want the 2 LP vinyl. pretty demonic.

the first piece of Messiaen's for organ that I got completely into was La Nativité du Seigneur, it's got the riffs

Yes-Parallels

I got into Jacula recently and they are a dream come true for me, they turned into Antonius Rex and i have yet to listen to those. They are still bringing out new albums.

Expanding my horizons here...I grew up with an organ in the house but until recently my taste has been limited to jazz, rhythm and blues and movie soundtracks.

How is that Popul Vuh album? It's not my "thing" but looks enticing.

Hitting the spot for me right now.
