::shiver:: GOOD STUFF!

when the rest of the orchestra comes in...

man that is like nails on chalkboard almost...

but in a good way if you can unserstand that...


its REALLY fitting for the mood... very scary, very... well metroid in my opinion.


I love the cello vs guitar a SHIT LOAD.


since it sounds like you are playing it yourself, would you be interested in being part of my band? I have some large projects planned for my game music related stuff in regards to OCR. :) (I have already been forming small ensembles for unsubmitted works, with plans for future submission.)

one of my fave renditions of Kraids Theme.

I got this off of their website month's ago, and i was glad i did that back then. Just as im glad more people will finally hear it now.

A haunting, depressing, lonely kraid theme, tis something that has to be heard... Nice deviation from the typical heavy versions.

[MolotovCocktaiL]

This sounds similar to something by Rasputina, sans singing. The strings are wonderfully reminiscent, and whatever is 'wrong' with this piece sounds clearly intentional to one who listens to this kind of music rather often.

Bravo Select Start!
Excellent, one of my favorites at Overclocked.

AHAHAHAHA! PROT GOT PWN3D BY DJP! BWAHAHAHAHA!


Oh, and I've had this for months. Still cool, though. :P

Usually, when something is out of tune, it bugs the hell out of me. And most times, I'm the only one around who notices it. However, in this case, the odd (bad?) intonation seems to add to the mood of the piece. As opposed to making it suck, like out of key/bad sounding stuff usually does. It gives the piece a very distinct mood, and I love it.

EDIT: After hearing it a few times, it's almost addicting to hear the way the strings play. The more I hear it, the more I think that it's intentionally tuned that way. It's a new favorite of mine.

[Tansunn]

I don't mind the tuning issues all that much, but the way the lead violin slowly pans to the right before the rest of the ensemble comes in just really bugs me. No complaints about the rest of it, although it gives me an odd sort of "Metroid meets Dracula" vibe.

[Zaphlin]

Whoa! I like I like! I wasn't ever expecting to hear this song done with strings but it is very nice!

[MistaZanMan]

hot fucking damn. damn....and again....damn. That's what i call beauty. No sarcasm here. I LOVE the tone of this piece, it fits the soul of the metroid games a lot better than most remixes i've heard do. Not to say every single theme from metroid should be dark and creepy, but this piece works soooo well with that kind of tone that its impossible for you to not like it. I dont know if they intended to have so many notes be off, but if they did, I applaud. It works. Damn well too. Kudos to you Select Start. Stay funky.[/i]

Simply. Amazing. I give you guys props for doing this. It reminds me the String Quartet Tribute to Nine Inch Nails. Which, if any of you haven't heard, that alone is amazing too. Defintely in the mood and tone of this. I'm always excited to find people trying different a genre then the usual list of genres that get over played with most remixes. I eagerly await your next submission! :D
