this is very nice!
i usually don't like metal styles. but when it comes to vgmixes it just doesn't seem to bother me at all .. which is odd..

anyway, great arrangement of a kick ass source

my only problem here is that a few drum transitions are a bit out of step. but it doesn't really bother me that much

a very good job

much enjoyed. Glad I listened... I was just hoping for the reverse piano that it would keep going all the way into those main echoing triplets before ending...

The best Kraid remix, hands down. It's one thing to make a nice-sounding remix, but it's another thing to surprise and impress a listener who has heard the theme 1,000 times before.

Arrangement-wise this is really cool. You've got excellent control of contrasts in terms of dynamics and interpretation of the theme. Although the transition was a little sudden on the first listen through, the section starting at 1:43 was kickass. Nice job!

As mentioned in the writeup, this track is off of Arm Cannon's album Leg Vacuum.

I have to say, this is the most creative rock/metal arrangement of Kraid I have yet to hear. How it seamlessly switches modes and instruments, like sliding right from a thrashin' synth & guitar combo into sublime piano, is just great to hear in action.

Also, the names on Leg Vacuum are simply hilarious. If you think Cranial Syphon by itself is amusing, just wait until you see it and Super Cranial Syphon on the same CD. These guys have a great sense of humor. ^^

Totally. Freakin'. AWESOME. Kraid's Hideout theme has been my favorite Metroid song for a long time, and this remix DEFINITELY does it justice. And then some. I love how everything blends together. It's also a good compliment to Ailsean's Metaltroid, which takes Kraid's song and gives it a fresh, new, scarred, tatooed, pierced, and angry face. I can see it now: On a dark night, somewhere around midnight, Ailsean finishes that song and the lead guitarist kicks the amp. Twice. Then smashes his guitar into the amp and breaks it into a million pieces and throws some of them into the audience.... Yeahhh.... That would be worth more than the ticket price alone....

Anyway! Great mix. Great talent. Now I'm going to put their CD at the top of my "Next Music to Buy" list.

The awesomeness of this song keeps my anus from performing properly, hence I shat. Multiple times over.

Haha, awesome! I would have liked the drums to play on the toms a little more, and the snare sounded a little weak for my taste, but the arrangement is really nice and so is the performance. The outro is wonderful.
