Need some dark, ominous, dungeon-y music

Although I usually listen to industrial while using my computer, I find
that it just doesn't cut it for a game environment like NetHack. I
know the music question comes up regularly, but I can't seem to find
anyone pointing out a free source for the dark kind of instrumental
music I need. Links?

I have 'Bob the Builder' or 'Thomas the Tank-engine' on DVD for my kid,
while playing. Now *that* is scary stuff.

Here are some midis from "Zelda: A Link to the Past" which illustrate
the general sort of tune I'm seeking, though I prefer instruments.

Its funny I see this today. I was playing Nethack last night and a friend
of mine sent me a sound clip. I play it and it turns out to be the
Spock-Kirk fight music, from the original series.

Most intense game of nethack I ever played.

There's an MMORPG called "Horizons". I have no idea if the game is any
good; I'd need a different computer and different toy OS to even load
it up.

It does, however, have a quantity of reasonably decent ambient music
that might qualify as "dark instrumental" on the install disk, as plain
mp3 files. You can find it in the bargain bin for under ten bucks.

I don't know much instrumental stuff but I think Pink Floyd would be
appropriate. or for harder music there's a band called Tournequet,
their songs called "The Skeezix Dellemma" or "The Skeezix Delemma part
2"
would be perfect.
even the album cover is scary (Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm
is the name of the album).

BTW, there's this song (alt.pop style) that I was hearing on the radio
a couple years ago that had skelitons dancing in a graveyard or
something
like that. I haven't heard it in a long time but I want to find out who
sang it or at least the song title so I can find it. The singer's voice
sounded like Sarah McLaughlin, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't her.
