[OT] Halloween music

Kronos Quartet albums often have deeply unsettling tracks on them. Black Angels has two: the title piece, which is discordant and awful and perfect for attacks by giant insects (one movement is called Night of the Electric Insects); and the final piece, Shostakovich's Quartet #8, a dirge for the victims of Stalin's purges, are both great.

Wow, that's actually the CD I was going to recommend.

One year, I stuck that in, and put it on the piece with the Hungarian woman crying (don't remember the name), and stuck it in my window on repeat. No kids came to my door.

Another piece might be Penderecki's _Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima_. Happy song that one.
