What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I think that this is quite a good remix. I enjoyed the song fully and I can kinda see where its a bit too liberal but in the end I still think Metroid when I listen to the song and too me when a song does that it screams remix.

It's a bit boring for the first 2.5 minutes. Other than that it was ok.

If I heard this in a club I know it'd remind me of Super Metroid. But I hope ocremix doesn't get any more liberal than this. A load of the songs on VGMIX don't seem to even have the original tune in them. A nice song, overall.

Definitely wouldn't picture Brinstar like this. Liked the use of the tune, but it got a little cluttered around the 3 minute mark. I can hear the source in some way or another throughout the piece, just not in the most obvious areas. Quite creative.

mega goodstuffs!

I really dig the middle section...chill flow and then build up of the beat... i really dug that...

though I felt that transition from the chill to the main beat again (2:18/2:19) was a little drowned out by the revvin sound effect you had in there... i could have been a little cleaner but...

all round nicely done :D

In my opinion, this remix battles FF Mystic Quest - Mystic Mountain for the best intro on the site. The intro to this one blew me away. Then yeah, it sorta got into a "random trance with the source ing the background" rut for a while, with the energy kicked up in a new direction around 2:20, in a Donkey Kong Country minecart madness sort of vibe.

Imagine if the original material is a basepath in a baseball game, the remix is a baserunner. If the runner gets too far away from the basepath, he's out. If he stays too centered on the basepath, the fielder will tag him out, he's got to stray a LITTLE bit. Good remixing is all about maintaining that fine balance, and in this case he's diving off the basepath but still manages to get his hand on home plate, barely. Safe.

It's very unlike a typical Super Metroid remix.. anyone would agree, but after around 2:15 or so it really picks up the pace and gets quite interresting.
All in all ,good stuff if you need to space out for a few mins..

This 'Energy Tank' really filled mine. It was love at first listening, especially for the violin sequence at the end.

This song is like Samus executed her "speed boost" attack and just kept running. That was the first image that popped into my head was that blurry varia suit. A driving beat with a mach 4 tempo. Solid tech/trance and not too repetitive at all. Which is hard to do with techno by the way. Engaging from the get go and doesn't LET go. (heh heh, I made a rhyme) Kick ass Metroid mix! Nice job!
