I find that Dr. Mario fits quite well with what happens in dwarf fortress.

10 hours?  :o
For when you need to play Dwarf Fortress a long time tiny bit.

You Know My Name by Chris Cornell. The lyrics sound like the player is talking to the dwarves to me at least.

If there ever was a song for dwarven blood, sweat and claustrophobia.

The Song of Durin.

That was surprisingly good. I may have to save that to my favourites :D

Hell yes.

Here's another one by the same guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtAIvup6QOU&NR=1

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

his voice reminds me of current93, though they're a bit more "gothic". i'd describe them as lovecraftian folk

EDIT: for reference, here's a music by current 93. it's possibly one of the heaviest things i've ever heard, black metal doesn't have shit on this song

...
and at last a german one in a medival style, its a story about a dwarf (translation of the title would be "dwarfs song"), the enitre song is about 8 minutes
Amber&Gefährten - Zwergenlied

Enitre Lyric translated ;)
good thing i found the email with this, translated it a year ago for someone in U.S. ^^ long time before i even know whats DF is :>

DUDE this is epic. Thanks for sharing your translation, you just made my day :D

I've never heard anything so insane as the original DF music track. It is an utterly hopeless melancholy, as if what you're doing makes no sense in the first place, and will ultimately destroy you and your entire civilization. When you first hear it, you don't know for sure, but you can feel that your doom was sealed hundreds of years ago.

Agreed! It's just sad there isn't more of it. Would be awesome if Toady were to create an entire album in that league. That would probably mean taking a break from programming for a long while, but IMO that would be worth it just as much :P

In the Hall of the Mountain King from the Peer Gynt suite. In fact, a lot of Romantic music works well for DF.

 This. So much this. Beginning being founding until first ambush, middle for everything from the first amush to piercing

, and the end being the glorious spiralling decline of dwarven society.

I really like playing tundra/taiga maps and listening to Summoning. A Melodic Blackmetal band which base all their songs on Tolkiens universe. Pretty slow music with a desolate atmosphere.

A song like this speaks to my imagination:

Land of the Dead(About Mordor)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHESjItTd-Q

And If I'll ever conquer the HFS I'll blast this through my sennheiser, Same kind of music so if you don't like it don't try it.

Procession of The Dead Clowns.

I quite like listening to Demdike Stare while playing DF, particularly the ambient tracks with industrial sounds.

Vulgaris Magistralis

Approximate Translation of Lyrics:
(Some minor liberties have been taken to make still rhyme. For a more literal translation see this and this)

I cook my meals on an active volcano
My roast chicken is a dinosaur
Wotan and Donar are relatives to me
But it's been ages since either has been seen

I live only at night
I ride in the dark

I am Vulgaris Magistralis
On a mammoth I ride around
I am Vulgaris Magistralis
on Sunday I ride a mastodon

A crazy professor heard my name
and riding on his Solex to Achterhoek he came
With cameras and lassos he's hunting after me
But my cave has not been found and I remain unseen

I'm a true champion
in a real vision

I am Vulgaris Magistralis
On a mammoth I ride around
I am Vulgaris Magistralis
on Sunday I ride a mastodon

I slip through the woods of the Achterhoek
They want to cast me for a part in a film
In the middle of the night I come out of my cave
Mies Bouwman* and Spielberg want me center stage

But they won't get me
No, they won't get me
No, they won't get me
No'
No
No

I am Vulgaris Magistralis
On a mammoth I ride around
I am Vulgaris Magistralis
on Sunday I ride a mastodon

I am Normalis Archivaris
And I carve chronicles in rock
I am Normalis, it's veracious
And I work the women with my club
