Wow somebody made an amazing remix of the Stone Temple song.

This was the best dungeon theme in the game. It's also one of the reasons why Koji Kondo is such a legend. One has to listen closely to really appreciate the nuances of this composition. If I had heard this song outside of the game first, I wouldn't have ever guessed it was used a dungeon theme, but as such, it's very effective.

 

-SPOILERS-

You notice that, when Rockvale is rightside-up, the music features a male chorus. When the dungeon is flipped upside-down, the male chrous is changed to a female chorus, the beat is totally reversed but has the exact same timing, and the instrumentation is slightly different - the main melody is on a harpsicord and punji instead of an ocarina and oboe. Some sound effects were added, like that "flickering" sound that travels between the left and right channels, to give it more of a mystical and surreal effect. It's brilliant.

Oh, and Rockvale/Stone Tower Temple was the best designed dungeon EVER.
