Gloomy Angels and Reptiles (Akira Yamaoka/NIN/Carol Kidd)

This tune probably would be more suitable for Halloween.

It features a tune from Akira Yamaoka, composer of the Silent Hill videogame soundtracks.
His tunes usually are dark and foreboding and this is no exception.
I heard some similarities with Reptile from Nine Inch Nails which I layered then with this.
I also wanted to use Glooomy Sunday for a while and here it fit perfectly.
The singer is Carol Kidd, a Scottish jazz singer I had never heard of, but I could find an acapella from her for this song that fitted the bill well.
(Maybe somewhere in the future I will try to make an acapella of the version from Diamanda Galas, that would make it more chilling for certain)

Gloomy Sunday is also known as the Hungarian Suicide song. The lyrics are quite explicit about that.
However, when it became known by Billie Holiday's version, record companies wanted to add a 3rd verse with a lighter tone, the song was to depressive for them.
I skipped that last verse. It doesn't make sense at all, explaining that the other verses were just a dream.

Music:

Akira Yamaoka - Angel's Scream
Nine Inch Nails - reptile

Vocal: Carol Kidd - Gloomy Sunday

My Silent Love (Akira Yamaoka vs Lionel Richie & Diana Ross)

Akira Yamaoka is the composer of the splendid soundtracks of the Silent Hill computer games. I really love his music and always wanted to do something with it.
Silent Hill is well known for it's brutal and horrific imagery and creepy atmosphere so you might be surprised that I combined this with Lionel Richie & Diana Ross.
The file below is the tweaked version. The old one has been deleted.
