On the first part, your synth and melody reminded me of Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain). I don't know if you're familiar with it or if it's deliberate. There's a mood of despair that increases with the right build up when you build up to 1'25.
I was fooled by the silence. I thought the music was over, but it wasn't! You repeat the theme with only synths. It's really great.
