Title: Robert Rich & B. Lustmord - Stalker - Undulating Terrain [link]
Fandom: Stalker

Song: "Undulating Terrain" - Robert Rich & B. Lustmord
Notes: "An unofficial video to the track 'Undulating Terrain' by Robert Rich & B. Lustmord from the album 'Stalker'. Footage taken on a Nokia N95 at Waldringfield, Suffolk - Decemeber [sic] 2009. Edited using Sony Vegas Platinum Pro 9."
Stalker is the name of both a film and a computer game series [technically S.T.A.L.K.E.R.] inspired by the Russian science-fiction novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The album this song is from, also titled Stalker, took inspiration from the film, but is not the film's soundtrack.
In Roadside Picnic, and all of the Stalker adaptations, there is an area called the Zone. Though the Zone may initially appear to be simply a region abandoned and bereft of human life, it is a dangerous and mysterious land home to strange phenomena and artifacts. "Undulating Terrain," both the music and the unofficial video, capture the enigmatic and tense nature of the Zone, along with its forbidding beauty. The black and white video is a perfect choice and a nice homage to the original film; I don't think it would have been half as effective in colour. A lovely example of the dark ambient genre, which I've loved since Thief: The Dark Project.
