Hauntological

Hauntological or Hauntology is a type of music, influenced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the vague sense of cold war dread present in public information films from the 1970s, along with an acknowledged debt in both sound and sleeve design from library music. The concept of what people in previous decades imagined the future would be like is a key element of the hauntology sound.

The sound of hauntology can be heard in some dubstep as well as trip-hop c.f. Portishead and ambient, particularly the darker strain. .
