Managed the brooding bit well with this one! :D Though without sounding all too dark either, it feels hopeful and suspenseful at the same time, like you're floating through space, seeping in the sights, heading towards an asteroid belt, something dangerous but awesome at the same time... and then it reaaally picks up after the break. :D Epic work on this, though it feels these always fade away a bit before they really reach their full potential.
Does make sense for a soundtrack though.
