Thanks a lot for your comment, glad that my tonal experiments on this project didn't go unnoticed !
I indeed had the MGS 1 soundtrack in the back of my mind when writing Pale Fire in particular (especially the track Cavern from MGS 1 with the synth building up tension and the cymbals) so great job picking up on it (and on the interpretation of each track also, it is almost as if you were reading my document listing my intentions for the various tracks).
Anyway thanks a lot for your comment and for listening !
