Well it says that either the file is corrupt or is an unsupported file type.

edit: unsupported "format" not "file type"

I don't recognize it, but you might could get in touch with the company who made it and ask them!

Looks like that Composer is Justin LaBo of Technicolor

Technicolor is the one-man soundscaping company, Justin Labo. He's responsible for a diverse collection of downtempo, breakbeat, and techno gems. Labo's creations have a trademark ambient quality, always underpinned by lurking, ominous bass rhythms and filtered, phased-out sounds, always in motion. This is the sound of one man and his machines in the twilight between a clear, sunny day and an all-night techno party. An XLR8R magazine review of the debut Technicolor album, One Touch Test Strip, contained this now-famous quote: "I like this album, if only for its complete lack of adherence to 'dance music' stylings. Purists beware, music lovers recommended."

I'm sure you can find out more now.
