1:39·103 bpm·Gm·2 versions
Synthwave, ElectronicClub, Dark, Haunting

The shortest and quickest-moving cue here: a 103bpm G minor synthwave pulse built on a distorted bass line, hard club drums and a running arpeggio, with wordless ooh/ahh vocal pads floating behind the groove. Notably it carries no heavy distortion layer in its instrument list, leaving it slightly cleaner and more propulsive than its neighbours. Suits a night-drive sequence, a title tease or a fast cut through neon streets.

Killer Cyborg

2:14·100 bpm·Bm·2 versions
Synthwave, ElectronicClub, Dark, Haunting

A 100bpm B minor industrial synthwave track whose title promises menace, and the arrangement backs it: distorted synth bass, punchy programmed drums, a driving arpeggio and haunting wordless vocal textures. It holds a steady, stalking club pulse across two minutes rather than exploding, making it useful as a sustained threat bed. Good for a pursuit sequence, a cyborg or android reveal, or a hard-edged action game cutscene.

2:21·89 bpm·Fm·2 versions
Synthwave, ElectronicClub, Dark, Haunting

The slowest and heaviest cue on the album at 89bpm in F minor, and the only one to add choir on top of the distorted bass, arpeggios and wordless ooh/ahh vocals. The lower tempo gives the beat more weight and the choral layer pushes it toward apocalyptic grandeur rather than club energy. Fits end-of-era documentary footage, a dystopian city establishing shot, or the climax of a sci-fi trailer.

Where Dreams Die
STYE827 · Virtual Dysopia · Fabian Moreno
2:30·92 bpm·Fm·2 versions
Synthwave, ElectronicDark, Haunting, Moody

At 92bpm in F minor this is the album's bleakest and longest piece, and the only one tagged without the club descriptor — dark, haunting and moody rather than dancefloor-facing. Distorted synth bass, arpeggio and hollow wordless vocal pads over slow industrial drums make it read as despair rather than aggression. Works for a downfall montage, an addiction or grief sequence in a thriller, or the quiet aftermath of a battle.

1:50·95 bpm·Am·1 versions
Synthwave, ElectronicClub, Dark, Haunting

The title cue: 95bpm in A minor, and the only track on the record with no vocal layer at all, so the focus sits squarely on the distorted pulsing bass, arpeggiated synth lines and punchy beats. That purely instrumental build makes it the cleanest option for narration or dialogue over a dark electronic bed. Suits a cyber-thriller opening, a hacking or surveillance sequence, or a hard-edged sports or gaming promo.
