   I can imagine Dexter searching a house to the tune of this music, it’s pretty cool!

   It doesn’t send chills down my spine like Akira’s.

   Hmm, I can feel that the mandolin playing brings back the Silent Hill tone, but overall it seems to fit. Unfortunately not as disturbing or as “dirty” as Yamaoka’s music.

   I haven’t seen Dexter but this music’s rubbish. Sounds like chinese music with Turok drums added.

   Honestly… i’ll reserve judgement till the game comes out =P

   It’s all nice and well to judge by mashing the theme w/ various screenies but what really counts is if the music (or lack of =P) really helps w/ the mood of the game. Yamaoka was rather brilliant in knowing when to use the backing theme and when to rely on the “silence” of just sound effects to enhance the mood.
