This ReMix is awesome! I love it. I like the random voices in it as well. It was well done. Good form. Most impressive.

I can't imagine how djpretzel thought of putting a reference to Nanny of "Muppet Babies" in his write-up.

Regardless, this is very nice and crunchy industrial. It's been a while since OCR last got an industrial-esque posting.

Very interesting mix, the voices ad a nice touch. I cant say that this is an instant favorite, but at least I am adding to to my playlist.

Overall though it is a great remix..

The greatest thing about this remix is that it captures the metroid feeling perfectly. Exploring wierd and menacing worlds... It does the job of recreating that experience extrmely well. For a moment, my mind slipped back into SR388
Also, inserting HAL's voice into the mix is pure genius. It reminds me of Adam from Metroid Fusion... "I know that you were planning on disconnecting me, and that is something i cannot allow to happen"...

It sounds totally Metroid. The Mother IS in control.

Very nice. Compares favorably to Brinstar Dreams in Red, which is saying a lot because of the similar style and the amount of talent that was behind that one.

You mentioned the guitars sounding repetitive, but I think their problem is the constant fretting noises everywhere. Shoulda slid into those notes instead. (RIGHT, VIG???).
Also, I thought even given the genre, the intro was a bit long. I thought the lowfi synth used for the breakdown at 3:15 doesn't do a lot for the piece. A breakdown there was definetly necessary and well timed, but I would have liked to see some variety in the percussion or just a straight guitar solo instead. You should have probably thrown in one more interation of the melody there at the end, too. The song just ends too quickly.
I would have also liked a greater incorporation of the "B" section of the melody. Its use here is pretty limited.

Excellent production. Nice Work.

The beginning section reminds me very much of Tiberian Sun's soundtrack. That makes it instantly good. :)
