Feaster of Babies starts out simply and quickly expands into this very malevolent orchestral score.  It's pretty awesome.

It's like a story;

A small child, skipping down a forest path. Slowly a dark figure is seen creeping behind the girl as she passes below the shady boughs, watching. He gradually draws nearer, slipping between the trunks, as she carries on unaware. A cloud passes in front of the sun, darkening the already dim light. Soon he is right behind the innocent child, and he reaches out with a grasping hand. So quickly she has no time to even squeal, she is stuffed into a bag.

The kidnapper retreats, the sounds of pursuers following him back to his cave.
All his agility is for naught, because the father sees him and the two race away into the deep green of the dreary woods. The chase is on.

Dwarf Fortress 2010
That is one mighty epic track indeed, continues on for a nice long time with some coherence too.

Feaster of Babies
Like a creepy horror movie from the 70s, I expect a rapist mustache to appear any minute.

Cannibal Elves in the Wells
Industrial sounding, plus I hear a dwarf in the back ground chipping away on some stone.

Elven Zerg Rush
Dwarfs are allowed to go to the club / Only Soldiers are allowed to go to the club

Skeletal Whales
I imagine a dwarf riding along inside the chest cavity of a skeletal whale playing on its rib cage.

Try songs with weird symbols in them too like $%^&* and see what you get.

Interestingly enough, Pi as rounded to "3.141593" heavily relies on drums and has a nice single note melody.

Try "Rapist Mustache" - it is not perfect, but has apropriate atmosphere

"Cannibal Elves in Wells" is awesome.
So is "Jack_Bread". :)

EDIT:
"Elven Zerg Rush" has a rather comical sound to it though.
::)

Here's a bunch that I like so far, been messing around with this when I'm bored but don't have enough time to really do any thing serious.


Album Two
Crystal Palace // Night
Kefka and his Moogles
Gouge the other eye
Native Spirit, Eternal Ancestor
press <z> twice
NK, April 1st 2001
Dark Black Abyss of Blood Shame
Steampunk [power on]

Sorry about this last one, the song title is very immature but I don't care cause I think the song rocks. Spoilered so you don't have to know people like me exist :D

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


Think most of them sound different enough from each other but it gets hard after a while to tell them all completely apart. Probably listened to a few hundred by now...

The song "4chan" is pretty good, at least in the beginning.

My words I used.

Temporal Tower - really nice, and ambient for the most part. Until the piano solo comes.
Cape Canaveral - very foreboding. Like the last part of the final dungeon.
Extend Ash - kinda dissonant but still very cool. For the first few seconds.
!!pig tail sock!! - reminds me of a salon. Very nice song.
Complete Smash - sounds like a Zelda dungeon. Good stuff.
The Final Countdown - exceptionally dark.
SCD FLOWERS - Countryish stuff with an awesome synth solo.
yo momma - surprisingly good, with pluck-style instruments.
%/(&/)() - cool piano stuff man

"Radiant Radiation"

(looks like an easter egg to me, some parts of it sound too structured to be randomized- but I'm not sure.)

"Radiant Radiation"

It actually works!

A crisp ten pound note to the first person to set some words to this and record it ...

Edit: also 'Boot polish' nearly works.

"Psyco Jelly" turns out awesome.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.
