Initial ideas for music

This is a late posting about my initial ideas for music for our thriller.

Slipknot - Vermillion Pt.2 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DoTUIe1-2fo
I thought that this song fitted the idea well from the point of view of the kidnapper. The song would make it sound as if he is obsessed with the girl and therefore is kidnapping her. The song also has a creepy tone to it that creates a sense of anticipation because the main focus of the footage is on her. I decided that this song does not fit as it sounds too sad and the pace does not match the style of shots we chose.

Half Life 2 - Soundtrack 27 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JxAtea-UP60&feature=related
This is a soundtrack from the game 'Half Life 2'. The game is a horror/thriller in its own right and contains moments of high tension and suspense throughout. This particular track contains low, droning sounds which create a dark atmosphere. This could have been ideal, however there is no climax to the track and it stays very similar throughout. Therefore this track could only have worked if coupled with another to create a climax in the opening.
