Dark Ambient and Cinema: Anthology Resource Vol. I and Everywhere, an empty bliss

Dark ambient could not exist without movie soundtracks. The quiet moments of dread in a horror film sparked something in musicians and listeners alike - who craved more of these soundscapes of dread before the monster appeared. In this episode we look at two albums that are clearly linked to cinematic masterpieces of fear. They are also some of the high water points of the genre, reaching slightly more mainstream audiences than most dark ambient albums ever get.Albums Discussed-------------------Anthology Resource Vol. I by Dean HurleyEverywhere, an empty bliss by The CaretakerRelated Links  --------------Revisiting Eraserhead’s haunting, industrial soundtrackIn Heaven: Celebrating the surreal sounds of David LynchSoundtrack from Twin Peaks by Angelo BadalamentiWhoSampled for Everywhere, an empty blissExample of Numbers StationsLeyland James Kirby On The Caretaker, Alzheimer's Disease And His Show At Unsound FestivalMy Father's Brain: What Alzheimer's Takes Away by Jonathan FranzenCredits--------Music by: 2Mello Artwork by: Patsy McDowell Ross  on TwitterBirk on TwitterFollow Night Clerk Radio on Twitter for updates
