Police Patrol

Crashing into a police car with 150 million dollars worth of meth on board is really bad luck. Leaving the scene of the crime makes matters so much worse - your little accident had been captured on the police precinct's security cameras. Talk about a bad day. Frantic drums and grungy electric guitar give way to a fast-paced drum and bass groove with angular guitar plucks. A brief atmospheric interlude with fast-paced shaker and dark guitar atmospherics gives way to the groove once more, ending with a dark descent.

Your dad taught you everything you know, but his last armed robbery took him down. You thought you could quit a life of crime without him around, but now, even from beyond the grave, he can get into your head, and make you do things you never even had the guts to think of. Dramatic drums and pulsing strings, together with eerie piano, set a pounding rhythm, giving way to a darker atmosphere before an evil electric guitar brings it all back, building to a terrifying climax.

Forensic analysis and DNA testing are the last silent witnesses to a crime. A criminal's fingerprints, a strand of hair, a drop of blood, a fibre from his clothing. Physical evidence tells no lies. Energetic, shimmering piano, punctuated by bass builds and percussion hits, gives way to an insistent rhythm, supported by strings and electric guitars, and building to a solid drum groove with cello melody.

Stalking along the dark, empty roads in the middle of the night. Yeah, he's out there all right. When there's no one around to hear the screams of his victims, or to see what's left of a body after he's had his fun. Better double lock your doors - he's coming to get you! Dark synth atmospheres, tense bass and percussion, together with frightening strings, set the scene for anxiety-inducing hammered piano and clavinet.

What makes some people simply snap? Did they have such an awful time in their lives before going postal? Or are they natural born killers and just by merely holding a gun, it triggers their finger and releases the murderer within? Powerful drums and driving celli give way to lighter percussion, dancing piano and spacious electric guitar - finishing with a bang.

No one likes it when you sneak up on them. Especially if you're in a squad car patrolling a sketchy neighborhood in Detroit. Cameras that can detect a person approaching give cops on the beat an advantage they just might need to turn things around. Tense piano, drums and strings set the scene for a slow, sombre santur melody, joined later by rhythmically insistent low strings.

It's a race against time. We don't know excatly where the explosives are hidden. All the anonymous tipoff told us for sure is that they're in there somewhere - and they could go off at any time. Frenzied celli and drums trade off with a ticking clock and menacing strings. A distorted electric guitar adds even more tension as time runs out.

2:36 · 148 BPM

Pedal to the metal! You feel like you're winning this race on the open highway. But your heart drops when you see the cops closing in on you from behind. You're already on the edge of the abyss, one sharp turn to the right just might get you off scot-free. But what would be better? Prison...or death? Dramatic strings and powerful percussion give way to an aggressive electronic breakdown with driving beats, angry synth FX and even more thrilling strings.

What did the detectives find more surprising about this particular case - how it was possible for the loss of a million dollars to go unnoticed by the bank for so long, or how they failed to connect this with the branch manager paying himself an extra bonus? Intriguing bass, acoustic guitar and synths set the scene for a muted trumpet, staccato strings and anxious percussion.

The court date is approaching faster than you ever thought it would, and the clock keeps on ticking, no matter what you do. You're suffocating in your own lies, and the word GUILTY is written in your eyes. You know it's just a matter of time before you crack, but now it's too late and there's no turning back. Wonder what made you do it in the first place? Frantic, dramatic strings, mysterious woodwinds and suspenseful brass, punctuated by orchestral percussion thrills.

You've never cared for wearing a uniform? Welcome to the club. In this line of work, you can pretty much wear whatever you want. Just make sure no one notices you. Learn to hide in plain sight. Skipping percussion and marimba form a rhythmic base for interjections from electric piano, saz, bass clarinet and tabla. Everything falls into a smooth groove in the second half.

2:18 · 105 BPM

How would it feel to be framed for a crime you didn't commit? Imagine how hard it would be to get anyone in a uniform to listen to your story - especially when some of them might have been in on it. Expectant strings and hard-hitting drums follow a steady beat, giving way to a thick rock groove with drums, bass, electric guitar and strings. Punctuations from timpanis, orchestral toms and horns add excitement and drama.

So I was just cruising around in my new Trans Am on a Friday night, minding my own business. Then I saw the flashing red lights of a patrol car on my tail and got the order to pull over. What seems to be the problem, officer? A tense, funky groove with drums, electric guitar and doubled cello/electric bass motif. A double bass takes over for a brief interlude before we dive back in with more energy, then out into an extended darker atmospheric outro.

2:35 · 105 BPM

Dark shadows lurk in the alleyways at night. You see them through your window, moving in and out of your sight. Are they a real threat or only in your imagination? Better not look too close. A lone bass guitar and drum groove set a vaguely menacing tone, before falling off into a cacophonous build of strings, percussion and electric guitars. The cycle repeats itself with a bit more dark energy.

Vinnie always told me that he was born with the devil in him and that working for a living was for suckers. The cops caught him with a couple thousand pounds of drugs and a ton of cash. Now he's doing time out in Riverhead. Warbly electric piano, double bass and percussion support a smooth and sultry muted trumpet, joined later by a bouncy sundrum, to create a mood of cool complexity.

2:26 · 83 BPM

Who wants breakfast at Tiffany's if you can help yourself to a massive 80-carat diamond? What would it take to pull off a jewellery store heist? And even if you did, how would you find a buyer who wouldn't ask any questions? A jazzy drum groove, supported by bongos and punctuated by low strings and mysterious celeste, falls into tense tremelo strings before taking off again.

2:36 · 90 BPM

You're convinced that the border patrol agents can hear your heart pounding in your chest. The tough dudes tell you to step aside and place your bags on the table for inspection. Next thing you know, a sniffer dog enters the room, and you have a hunch that things are about to take a turn for the worse. Dark synth atmospheres, pulsating bass, pounding beats, distorted tremelo guitar and panicked whistle sound effects create an air of growing anxiety.

The sound of the alarm goes off at 3:00 am. He left pillows in his bed to fool the guards and then he scaled the 20-foot prison wall. After six days on the run, they got him, and he got sent right back where he started from - with some extra time as an added bonus. Pulsing synths, eerie atmospheres and scattered sundrum set a dark and spacious tone, punctuated by percussion thrills and sound effects.

2:22 · 120 BPM

Angelo taught himself everything he knows for a career with the mob. With an endless supply of violent video games, he was armed and dangerous for real life hits by the time he was in his teens. Mamma mia, what a good boy – and so ambitious. Welcome to the family! A down and dirty drum beat, sawing low strings and an echoey organ give way to a darker atmospheric section, before diving back in with distorted electric guitar and eerie piano.

2:17 · 90 BPM

Entangled in a web of lies, you don't even know what the truth is anymore. And the lies you've told to cover up your crime are more shocking than the actual crime itself. Thanks to you, the truth has become so much stranger than fiction. Darkly ethereal synths, quizzical piano, slinking guitar, sneaky percussion and subtly dramatic strings create an air of mystique.
