Metroid 'Mind of the Mother Brain'

Gotta love whistling intros (Ever hear the intro to Wild Arms? Great stuff), AmIEviL gives us what we all love with his great guitar work. Seems to be a medly of several Metroid tunes.. not too sure on this part as I never played the first Metroid. If there's anything to complain about it's the length. Too short. Great tune besides.

AmIevil made a very good job on this one! the "SpaceWhistling" sounds or whatever you could call it are PERFECT, and then there's a medley of a few songs with a sweet style and tempo. One of the best Metroid OC ReMixes IMO.

The Vigilante says: listen to this mix, NOW!!! its a little bit of interpretative genius. you've never heard kraid done this way before. the piece is haunting, the whistling is fantastic.


you've never heard norfair done...at all before. for those out of the loop, the NES metroid norfair mid was a TERRIBLE dissonant, aharmonic, arythmic mass of beeps that sounded like an 8-bit merry-go-round on crack. it even had an understated oom-pah thing going on...

this pitiful midi, which AmIEviL starts this mix with, is COMPLETELY redefined. he salvages the melody and completely reworks the harmony. it sounds terrific, the drop-D tuned guitars are very moody. i dont know where he pulled this stuff from. its a shame we havent heard anything new from AmIEviL for quite some time, because i think that this is hands down, THE best mix on the site.


listen, NOW, and show AmIEviL your undying gratitude.

it kinda reminds me of starcraft :D

[PlatformerMastah]

Why is it that the older remixes, no matter how good they are, never get many reviews at all? :(

I think this one is really good, yet no Mother Brain related songs are used. The songs used in this one are Norfair and Kraid's Lair.

[F'lar]

Great song, I gotta write this one to a cd. AmIEvil strikes again.


*looks at reveiw above this one*
Uh.... Do you ever read the comments from Djpretzel? He said that AmIEvil wrote the he felt sorry for the motherbrain as she sits in a jar until she gets blasted by a chick in armour (wow, i remembered the "Metric" u in armor) so he would like to dedicate this song TO motherbrain.

Okay... I can't really pick out any of the original tunes, but... Screw it. It's good. I can't say why. Download it. Only downside is, it's too short for its own good. Two minutes is not enough.

[TAT_PKN]

Sixth Flying Man is right, I noticed a lot of great tune that are so short . This one is the best remix for Metroid! Yes, I have to admit everything is perfect except for it's short T_T. Also, I wonder if some1 would remix the song when u fight with Mother Brain in Super Metroid. It's darn scary and cool, makes u want to fight Mother Brain all the time while he eye-lasering you. Gotta love Super Metroid !!

[House of Hyrule]

This bit of genius comes in 2 seconds short of the 2 minute mark. I like the brooding that starts to build and eventually breaks out into the hallmark sound of Metroid.

Nice touch on the whistling to set things off. I don't think it is too short since most remixes I've downloaded on OC can't seem to figure out where to end it.

This one is going into my iPod.

[AshDragon]

Even though the song's length is a little short, to me it fits the way the remix is played. All the different sounds go together smoothly, its like a remix that you don't mind having it stuck in your head. Its one of my favorite metroid songs remixed.
