From the album "Zongs for the platypus" - made with synth plus pc and tape manipulation.

omg Sam, i've listened to it loud as usual, i was getting sucked nicely to the calm atmosphere and suddenly "that" certain part scared the sht out of me :lol:
Some of your musics (this one too) reminds me of the beautiful pieces of Matt Uelmen, very dark ambient stuff, but highly entertaining:

Thanks Psy, very nice tubes..
I understand that this is game music, but nevertheless.. Is Diablo a band or what ?
I enjoyed this.

The Dungeon track had some useless silence at the end, this one is the slim one :

(I don't see any value in the use of adding "&fmt=18" to the link)

I fetched both versions and wondered : which front one is more scary ?

Red and black is quite obvious, but I find the 'insect' one of nr 2 more heavy.

Sam, nicely set up for "that" part - I enjoyed this.

How did you cycle the fast echo/flanger part?

About &fmt=18:
It's a "high quality hack" on youtube, i'm usually adding it to every video i link. You c, normally youtube is compressing very strongly the uploaded material and degrading the sound the mono. With &fmt=18 hack you will get stereo sound and the best possible video quality (very close, if not identical to the uploaded stuff).

Here is the example of a normal:

and same video with HQ hack:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQlipIDmgf8&fmt=18
to check the sound quality.

finally, &fmt=22 is a HD hack, it will display the videos in high definition mode:

Of course, the outcome really depends from the uploaded material 2, mayb the Diablo music was a mono one to start with, i can't remember if it was stereo or not in the game.

Diablo is a old PC role playing game, designed by the one of the most famous PC game developer studio, Blizzard. One of their best musician Matt Uelmen composed the tunes for it.

What picture? I would choose the 1. one, it is more darker and more appropriate, since it is the Diablo 1 title picture (the musics are from that game), and the second one is from Diablo 2.

Thanks Psi, nice to know about this quality hack.
I will test if the difference also is saved when downloaded.

you can also set the preferred format in your youtube account, if you have one.

Apart from that, those are some really cool frightening ambient vibes.

Loved the machinery-like noises in the background.... reminded me a little of the film 'Eraserhead'
