Red Brinstar is one of my favorite Metriod, and in fact videogame, tracks ever. Ekaj really does add some nice personalization (mentioned in the write-up), which lets the track maintain the same vibe of the original, but give it a new flavor.

The bassline flows nicely, a nice contrast to the shorter melody played on top. I'm not totally crazy over the stutterish synth used at 1:47, but it's alright. It doesn't detract from me enjoying the mix overall.

Nice use of the Metroid cry throughout, that was a nice touch. Good work, nice debut!

Def a creative mix. Some ncie sound choices and blending of styles. I really liked how the track continued to overall but never felt predictable in its presentation. Some more reverb on background elements would have given the mix a better ambience and space to exploit. I could def get lost in this mix and set it on repeat working at night. Good stuff dude!

Okay. So... umm.... AWESOME.

And by that, I mean that this is one of the best pieces on the site.

There are a few rare occasions where I break my habit of updating only when a torrent of latest remixes is released. This is one such occasion.

Perhaps I'm simply a sucker for the lower Brinstar theme, but dang, you pulled it off incredibly well in this piece. This one's going on repeat for the rest of the night, and probably as far as the next week. XD

Great job. Looking forward to any future remixes you might have planned!

Absolutely fantastic throughout.. a delicious, varying but cohesive soundscape from start to finish. Extremely well mixed, a joy to listen to.

This ReMix is awesome, nicely detailed with electronica beats. I just wish this was going on the bLiNd Get Well project.
