I found enough dark ambience tracks I liked and made a collection of 5 tracks. Fitting since this is also my fifth Awesome SMW Music choice. Unlike most video game music, these tracks do not have a distinct tune and melody. Considering that, I may get comments such as "this is lame", from people who haven't acquired a taste for this type of music. If you don't like or understand dark ambience at all, just turn back now.
0:00 Let this set the general tone for this Awesome SMW Music. It's just a disquieting drone that plays before you enter the Nightmare House in Wakana's Halloween Level Design Contest entry.
0:53 This track from Silent Hill is even more nightmare-inducing than the last one; it really picks up at 1:43.
2:28 Earthbound was a very dark game from what I've heard. This track says a lot about what the game must be like. It was also used in Hunter's Revenge 2 Recharged as one of Hunter's themes. Just imagine what kind of bad guy he must be just from the music...
3:00 Another Earthbound song. I first described this track as Zen meditation music for the clinically evil, which would make way for a whole other experience besides just listening. Giving even Sunn O))) a run for their money, and as I stated before, imagine what Hunter must be like based on the music choice, sacrificing maidens and destroying towns to fulfil his goal for immortality...
4:12 This one is interesting, with the drum beat that comes off as hypnotic. Layered onto the drum beat are a few other nice additions to add to the ambience. At 4:30, you can even faintly hear eight notes from UN Owen was Her (from Touhou 6).
