Unusual Scale Similarity

Reading the piece of Just Intonation I made my way to the authors mp3 recording where he claimed to use a 16 pitch octave. When listening to it, I immediately recalled the Marilyn Manson track from Resident Evil. I have no idea if Marilyn Manson used a similar scale or if its just the way I'm hearing it, but to me the two tracks seem to have some striking similarities:

Author's Track:

Marilyn Manson Track:

Also since we will be talking about the effects of certain audio choices on the listener, I find that the unusual pitch in the Manson track is really what makes that song feel a bit terrifying...when I watched the movie for the first time that song really up'ed the anxiety level, but somehow in an exciting way.
