The Ink Spots- but generally loads of the wierdly chaste, microphone-diffused 30s-40s pop- pretty much anything on The Singing Detective soundtrack applies
Rhythm and Sound/Basic Channel/Main Street/Maurizio
Barry 7's Connectors 2 (italian library stuff)
some solo David Sylvian, esp Brilliant Trees & the stuff with Fennesz (and obv fennesz in general)-'drowning in my nostalgia' indeed
loads of Doo-Wop, especially The Diablos' crepuscular 'The Wind'
The Human League- The Dignity of Labour Parts 1-4
and lots of music that ought to have soundtracked documentaries on the Smithsons, or Erno Goldfinger, such as:-
Joe Meek- I hear a new world (esp the title track, with the chipmunk voices wailing 'hauuunting meeee...'
Basil Kirchin- Abstractions of the Industrial North
Roy Budd- Get Carter
oh! and just reminded by the pillbox, Scott Walker's Tilt is exemplary hauntology- remember him describing this as being like being forced to listen to all the disembodied voices of the 20th centrury, or summat (in the essay 'On The Mic', which is v good on the recording, the microphone and its immanent ghostliness...)
