Dark and mysterious, with an undulating native pulse. Welcome to Skull Island. Have a nice day...

Valley of the Brontosaurus
download

One of my favorite scenes in the game happens in this valley. You're wading through waste deep water as a thick fog rolls in around you. A distant rumbling grows closer and closer, but you can't see what it is. All of a sudden, bursting through the fog, a giant Brontosaurus thunders past you followed by his entire herd. You are awestruck by the majesty and power of these animals, but in no imminent danger. As long as you stay out of their way!

The Island Tombs
download

A tad on the supernatural side, you must step carefully and with respect through the ancient burial grounds of the Skull Island natives. You'll find that this mostly ambient track scores the level effectively, but without dominating. All the better to hear the spirits with.

Nest of Raptors
download

My kids like to listen to music CD's when they go to bed. But my seven year old will only listen to the King Kong score during daylight hours. He says tracks like the dissonant Nest of Raptors are "too scary for night-time." Of course, you might be scared too sleeping in the nest of a highly intelligent brood of cheetah-fast, pack-hunting, hungry raptors intent on your demise. Sweet dreams...
