I wasn't sure how people would react to this as it is way different then most of my stuff. I'm glad that you liked it.

There were a couple of video games in 1980s one called Golden Axe and Altered Beast (same Japanese maker). Both had unusually dark melodies. If they were to do re-makes of these, your Dark Side would fit nicely. Thank you for sharing. Misha.
