Do you know of any haunting music to play in the background to improve the atmosphere for Lovecraft inspired games like Strange Aeons and Call of Cthulhu?

Anything from Nox Arcana noxarcana.com and Midnight Syndicate midnightsyndicate.com .
Also Alex Otterlei – Horror On the Orient Express link is a good cd.

Also most John Carpenter's cds work well.

I'd recommend a perusal of the instrumental music of Gyorgi Ligeti, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Krzystok Penderecki. Youtube's got a bunch.

Also, I find twenties swing jazz and gypsy jazz like Django Reinhardt really sets the mood.

Musica Cthulhiana

A favourite is the Vangelis album "Mask". Multi-part keyboards and synthesisers but very chilling and exotic throughout. I've used it in CoC games before and it's worked.

Coal Chamber, Sepultura, John Zorn, Webern, Stravinksi.

Also, Mylie Cyrus and Justin Bieber … nothing creates chills down my spine like that.

Bernard Herrmann Fantasy film music

If you want to get really scare check out some Industrial or Ambient Black Metal.

I would suggest a band called Delerium, its from the new age era but has a mysterious and arcane feel.

Another vote for the H.P. Lovecraft historical society's music to Call of Cthulhu. Normally I'd prefer orchestral but this really worked.
