This is definitely one of those ReMixes where all the pieces fit together to make a nice, thoughtful and cohesive whole.

Good job, Nutritious! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for that submission, Nutritious! It's a wonderful piece. For the time you had, making a combination of 5 tracks is epic. Amazing job and work! Congrats! I hope some other tracks on that get well album are submitted as well.

Using the Item Acquisition theme as a the dramatic swell around 1:00 is freaking ridiculous. You've mixed the sources together like an art. The whole song is very good, but I'm just left stunned after the first minute, the weaving of the prologue into other themes in a way that hides the fact they're totally different fanfares.

A+ for arrangement.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

*gasps*

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It was too short :'(

But it feels so damn epic. Like the galaxy really does await, and you're about to start your journey/quest/road("space"?)trip through it. You actually sent shivers down my spine in the first minute: the act of simply playing this piece of music through my speakers made me somehow feel cosmically significant (well, then the piece ended lol). Nice.

Part of it reminds me of Avien's remix from the original Metroid OST (To Brinstar), probably somewhat due to the instrumentation and stuff (oh and let's not forget, the same/similar melody).

And I like the usage of that (bass, I suppose) drum at 1:14 - 1:20ish. I too really want to hear this live, and let it rattle my bones and senses into a state of shock.

Mewonders why I didn't notice this earlier... well, I did now, and I'm glad I did. I'll bet bLiNd sure did like this, and I'm sure many others do/will (er, funky grammatical construction).

I love how you used so many themes successfully! Transitions are simply delicious. I would love to hear this performed live. Great job!

This is excellent in almost every aspect, however, this piece so liberal that if you were to tell me it's an original piece, I would have believed you. Albeit, it's still an excellent compo and far beyond the skill level of many-a-composer here. Good work Nutritious, I look forward to hearing new stuff from you(but please make them a tad more conservative :D:D)

You really don't know the source music well. It's basically Metroid series music until 2:30 of a 3:25-long track. Just putting that out there, because this wasn't too liberal.

Not what I was expecting, but very dramatic! The sources blend together seamlessly. Felt like it went by too quickly, oddly enough.

...really? I found the original melodies pretty obvious...

its ironic - I love the game and know every track, yet I can't really hear the melodies too well here. Man no wonder I have trouble composing lmao.

EDIT
After several listens, I've finally discerned the melodies :D sorry about that Nutricious. Disregard my mindless babbling :)
