One thing that just struck me as appropriate for Reynir currently (page 322 add 323)

Probably not entirely relevant, but possibly the best decision of my life and I must share this.
Go to this video, and mute it.

And so am I.

Back in the early days of this Forum, some talented person did an animation of Sigrun doing the hallingdans, based on motion-capture from a similar video.  We speculated about who'd be holding the stick with the hat (or rather, the troll-head) for her to kick, and decided only Emil was pretty enough. 
"The music of what happens," said great Fionn, "that is the finest music in the world."

A general theme for the Silent Lands.
Öresundsbro decontamination facility.
Spot 24. The part after 1:40 fits especially well - 1:45 is approximately page 249, 2:02 is when Sigrun, Lalli and Emil notice the dripping from the vent shafts and split up, 2:45 is the death room from page 254. 3:10 is when Sigrun starts looking for the troll nest, 3:35 is when she finds it. At 3:56, she decides to get the hell out of Dodge and returns to the death room (no more dripping, the wooshing sounds from 2:45 are back), 4:46 up to the end is probably the build-up to Emil encountering the troll on the ceiling at page 260.

Pretty much anything made for Silent Hill 1-3,
,
when exploring ruins during snow etc.

when exploring the "dead-room".

when crossing the bridge to the southern world point

when Emil has blood and teeth fall on his head, with the camera panning up to the ceiling 12 seconds into that song (you'll know it when you hear it). Or just
for the entire part

/>Oh oh oh and this one! Especially this one when Lalli walks alone through the empty streets, the moon shining brightly at the ruined facades, grave-stone skylines litter the horizon, unseen eyes following his footsteps through the crackling snow. Memories of who they once were, what they once were and never again will be. Song fades as the snow once again bury the human footprints, they don't belong in this city anymore...

Hell the Black Mesa soundtrack has tons of great songs that would fit into this universe

I'd be overjoyed if the Finns did a joik during the story

I'm not sure what everyone else will think of this, but I listened to this album a lot while reading SSSS for the first time, and it really struck a chord with me. The music fits well with the darker moods of the comic, especially the prologue, as it has quite a slow, thoughtful tempo with a urban(?)-sounding ambience in the background.

Anyways, enjoy!

For all those dramatic landscapes, 'Stormur' by Sigur Ros:
/>
For the lead singer's brilliantly Norwegian accent, 'Lover, Where Do You Live', by Highasakite (sic):
/>
Whenever it gets sad, 'Carissa' by Sun Kil Moon:
/>
To cheer you up after listening to 'Carissa' because it's so sad, 'Ysbeidiau Heulog' (Us-baed-ee-aye Hay-log) by the Super Furry Animals:
/>
Also, 'Nowhere Man' by the Beatles for whenever I see Reynir floating through the aether:
/>
I could say far, far more but I won't because then you'd have a comment the size of the page. Also, sorry for the iffy videos- best I could get off Youtube.

I've been doing nostalgia-runs of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II lately, and this track from the sequel, although obviously a bit Star Wars-y, I feel fits for if or whenever they find some ruins that are still standing in perfect condition, besides the obligatory overgrowth, with signs of tragedy perhaps surrounding it

and sooo much more.

Sigur Rós matchs so perfectly in the Dream World that it hurts: the entire "Kveikur" album, some tracks from "Takk" (Saeglopur and Hufupukar, somebody?), and Jonsi's solos too.

Saeglopur began to play in a corner of my head the first time I saw the Dream World :) The water. Always.
But I love Sigur Rós and Jónsi's songs too much to be perfectly objective.

(Gotta say, Kveikur is my jam. Yes, the whole album.)
I'm listening to a livestream of Sigur Rós right now where they're playing their older, more ambient stuff and I've decided that their whole aesthetic/sound is just dream-y :)
