1 | Australian musician whose signature style is a dark blend of electronics and orchestra. To date he has completed only one album, 2002's ''Furious Angels'', which includes his most famous calling card "Clubbed To Death" together with a load of other tracks you definitely ''will'' have heard in the background of TV and film. A follow-up was stuck in DevelopmentHell for a long time, but tracks from the sessions started to appear in 2016 and a full album is planned for 2020. |

3 | !Tropes seen in Rob Dougan's work: |
4 | |
5 | * AlbumIntroTrack: The literally-named "Prelude". |
6 | * DrunkenSong: "Drinking Song", performed in a deliberately slurred style. |
7 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Prelude" is a prelude; "Instrumental" is an instrumental (specifically, it's a strings-only version of "One And The Same"); "Pause" is a silent pause between actual songs. |
8 | * GratuitousJapanese: "Clubbed To Death (kuryamino variation)". It means "belonging to darkness". |
9 | * GratuitousPanning: "Prelude" is deliberately mixed like this in order to have a disconcerting effect. |
10 | * [[ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic Harmless Musician, Scary Music]]: A ''lot'' of his songs are about violence and revenge. |
11 | * HarshVocals: Has a deep, rough-edged singing voice in the manner of Music/TomWaits. |
12 | * LeftForDead: "Left Me For Dead" |
13 | * NotGoodWithRejection: The narrator of the song "Furious Angels" calls upon supernatural beings to take revenge on the one who spurned him. |
14 | * RecycledTrailerMusic: And how! Who needs to release singles or play live to promote an album, when producers and editors love the music so much they plaster it over everything? |
15 | * StalkerWithACrush: "There's Only Me" |
16 | * StandardSnippet: "Clubbed To Death" was used so much as tension music on TV, it became a cliche. "Furious Angels" was not far behind, being called upon whenever someone wanted a track with the feel of "Clubbed To Death" without actually being "Clubbed To Death". |
17 | * SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Drinking Song". It's also the one proper track on the album that *doesn't* get constantly recycled as background music. |
18 | * TakingYouWithMe: "Left Me For Dead" |
