Cantara

"The Temple", a theme from Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, mixes dark synthesizer swirl with Eastern instrumentation, creating a distinct yet ominous atmosphere. The piece characterizes the surroundings of one character, creating a sense of isolation.

"Cantara" by Dead Can Dance takes place with an acoustic instrument that abruptly jumps up in speed, supplemented by percussion and vocals. As time progresses the song evolves further, creating a very layered effect.

"Mad About You" by Hooverphonic is a very lush song: the vocals are supported by a smooth, orchestral texture. The style contains hints of jazz and hip hop, creating an effective fusion of genres.

"Mama, I'm Swollen" by Cursive carries a dark sentiment on a smooth rock texture before escalating into anger.

"Lights" from Ef: A Tale of Melodies is a serene piece reminiscent of a nocturne; piano and other acoustic instruments create a hushed atmosphere.
