Any fans around here?

I'm absolutely mad for the "Stay" and "Monster's Ball" soundtracks...

Is there any other music that paints such a melancholy portrait in one's mind? I've found just a few examples, such as the "Silent Hill" soundtracks, a Norwegian artist named "Eivind Aarset"...nothing else comes to mind at the moment.

It's very rare to find music of this type, done so close to perfection. Any suggestions? Something gut-wrenching and very genuine.

Ulver.

And yea, I absolutely loved the Stay soundtrack. That movie in general was spectacular.

I'm very familiar with Ulver's stuff "A quick fix of melancholy"...just perfect. Also, that song "Porn Piece" is amazing.
"Stay" probably ranks as one of my favorite movies...i try not to ever watch it though, because I have a tendency to memorize things very quickly, and then i'm bored with it.

I have the same problem with movies and music, becoming tired of everything if I over-expose myself to it. I don't listen to much 'ambient' stuff like that, but I recently discovered this band on myspace by chance, and it's incredibly beautiful. "liange" and "The Three-Day Blow" are both incredibly moving. It may not exactly fit in with the melancholy mood, but it's certainly aurally pleasing anyway.

i went ahead and checked out that Japanese band, they're pretty awesome, if relatively unknown! Thanks once again...

Anybody else with a suggestion or two?
