I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

"Dark Intro" immediately establishes a sense of foreboding and tension. The opening synth pulses are well-crafted, creating an unsettling atmosphere that's perfect for a cinematic underscore or a dramatic video game sequence. I like how the track builds gradually, introducing new layers of sound design and percussion that add to the intensity.
The overall mix is solid, though I feel the low-end could be slightly tightened up to give the pulsating bass even more impact without muddying the other elements. The mid-range frequencies, especially the synth lead that comes in later, are clear and cut through effectively. A bit of subtle sidechain compression on the pads, keyed to the kick drum, could also enhance the rhythmic drive.
Emotionally, this track nails the 'dark' and 'suspenseful' vibe. It's not something you'd use for a lighthearted scene, obviously, but it excels at creating a sense of unease and anticipation. It evokes a feeling of being watched or stalked, of something ominous lurking just around the corner.
In terms of media suitability, this is prime material for thrillers, horror films, suspenseful TV dramas, and even certain types of video games (think stealth or survival horror). It could also work well in trailers or promotional spots for these genres. Perhaps a little tweaking for variety might make it longer. Adding a breakdown or a bridge section with some evolving sound design could extend its usability.
Compared to industry-standard production music, "Dark Intro" holds its own in terms of the core concept and the initial impact. While I do not think the sound is a top-notch production, it's certainly usable. I think a lot of creators would love to have this track."
