What is your Ripper music?

[Harry D]

I'm curious what musical accompaniment (if any) you peeps listen to when you're on a good Ripper fix?

This has been my latest song of choice:

I think it captures the mood quite well.

Hi,

I have always liked Jack The Ripper by Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages. It has Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar.

[Robert]

This one's very atmospheric :

[John Wheat]

Jack the Ripper by Malevolent Creation it's a cover of the Hobbs Angel of Death song.

[Esther Wilson]

I always like The Nobodies by Marilyn Manson. I think because it was in the movie From Hell while the end credits are playing.

Jr. Walker and the All Stars. "I don't want to do wrong, but it's been so long, that I just can't help myself."

AC/DC- "Hell's Bells."

I rather like the "Dark Annie" song by the Town Pants, and you can't beat Mack the Knife (in its original Brecht/Weill incarnation). There's a great new show ("Lulu - A Murder Ballad") by the splendidly dark-humoured Tiger Lillies, featuring this song about Jack:

Can't wait for the album to come out.

I'm a big fan of the Tiger Lillies, though for some reason my wife cannot stand them. ???

Sometimes when I feel like it, I put on the album The Monstrous Soul by Lustmord (aka Brian Williams). It's dark ambient/industrial music and may be a bit hard to stomach for the uninitiated but its sombre tonal structures calm and focus my thoughts at the same time.

One of these days I'm going to create an adaption/cover of A Violet From Mother's Grave in my studio. Always wanted to find out how it sounds in minor key.

I have no desire to listen to some special music when I'm reading about the Ripper. I mean, why would I have anything special? To remind me of the butchery? Kind of strange I think. Yeah, I have music on when I'm reading sometimes, but it has nothing to do with the subject material. Actually, that's kind of creepy.

I can guarantee it will not be ripper related and more likely than not from the 60's.

I don't listen to music while I'm reading Ripper-related books but like to bring my mind into focus beforehand by chosing a selection of albums or tracks that set the mood.

Music is very important for me, it's a key to unlock subconscious thoughts and more often than not helps to sharpen my attention. I use it as a vehicle to open my mind, that's all there's to it. If that makes me creepy, so be it.

[Barnaby]

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the Morrissey song yet. I hear that song and start experiencing Ripper Podcast withdrawal symptoms.

[Robert]

I don't often listen to music when I'm on the boards. The Junior Walker track came out about the same time I learned of Dan Farson's work, so it's a natural association. Any haunting or atmospheric track is a good bet.

I wonder what tune may have been circulating in Jack's head when he committed the crimes.
