BONUS ROUND!
From the 1971 album Docteur Faust.
These two tracks are absolutely phenomenal! Igor Wakhévitch is a French avant-garde composer who studied under Olivier Messiaen and worked with everyone from Salvador Dalí to Terry Riley, and despite his work passing by in relative obscurity at the time, was later praised by Michael Gira of Swans and Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound, giving it a small amount of renewed attention. I could gush about this particular album for many paragraphs, but I don't have to, as it just so happens that one of my all-time favorite music reviews (titled It Was the Strangest Record I Had Ever Heard) was written about this very album. Read the awesome story told in the review, and listen to the terrifying madness of Igor Wakhévitch's Docteur Faust. It's about as Halloween-worthy as music can get.
