Alright - it's Metroid, it's ailsean, it's guitars - how could you go wrong? This is actually really two ReMixes in one, with two separate tracks being taken on. While I like both, I'm a lot keener on the second than the first, as it gets into some serious chunky metal-guitar chordage. Not much else to say on this one, actually - like I said in the intro, it's guitars, it's ailsean, it's metroid and you should probably download it for those reasons alone. Oh yeah, and the ending is really perfect ^^
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Starts out really slow and not terribly well-produced, has a lame
fade out halfway through, and then fades in to something actually
pretty good. I'm not feeling the super mechanical drumming, but i
do like the panning and guitar playing. Nice harmonized parts over
a good chugging rhythm. I've never absolutely loved anything from
the metroid soundtrack with maybe the exception of the ending
theme, but you do alright here.
The first half is trash, the second half is decent. I think i'll give this one a pass overall, sorry. :-(

First part reminds me of a really dark and emo twinkle twinkle
little star, second part reminds me of an emo abandoning his
loathing for... whatever emos loathe, becoming loath to continue
his internal emo ways and takes his frustration out on a ... well,
he takes his frustration out period, and we hear the venting. And
when it's all said and done: emoness solved.
I love it when a plan comes together.

The first part kinda got me a little snoozing and tired. But OH MY
GOD I loved the kraid remix. The blank spot in between the tracks
wasn't that much of a good idea. But the kraid part I like so much
I just HAVE to put this in my mp3 player ;).

I think you should have made the first track into a full song, and
the same for the second track, and not combine them. I do not like
how the first track finishes.
The intro is insanely good and DARK. Someone needs to do a full song on this theme and make it into a dark depressive song!
The second track is nice, but I prefer the first theme, besides I've heard the second track's theme a million times.

days. liked the track but not the format, and got rid of it.
i really love the brinstar depths portion. excellent stuff.

This is a PURE mix, I love it and my fav metroid tune is in it and
remixed. One of my fav versions of the song, I love this whole mix.
More more more!

Whaha, I like this one :). The only thing I gotta complain about is
the way the first part is faded out. I think it would've been
better if it faded at a different point.

Not a bad track, although I wish he had found some way to combine
the two sections somehow -- the break in the middle isn't really
necessary if a decent transition was performed instead of
silence.
My only real complaint is the beginning, remixing the intro to Metroid. From what I recall of the original, it didn't play "Twinkle Twinkle" with the high-pitched tweets like it's done here. Maybe that's just part of the Remixing process, but I found it a bit unsettling none the less.

I like the whole piece. I still listen to this all the time
(downloaded it a year or so ago.)

Well it seems that everyone agrees that the second part is
definetly the best part of the entire song. I would have to agree,
and it's definetly good metal, wich is my absolute favorite type of
music. If Frank Klepacki (of command and conquer fame) did the
metroid sound track, it would sound like this

[b]7 / 10[/b] (With an exception.)
On the whole, this is just an above average remix to me, but one part of this song just... well, there's no other word for it, I suppose. It [b]rocks[/b]. From 1:58 to 2:43, this thing gets a ten out of ten. I've heard this particular melody (path to Kraid's hangout, as another poster mentioned) remixed in at least five other places, and this little section of an otherwise fair 'mix blows them all away.

The second part (many may recognise this from SSBM - Brinstar Depths) lives up to the title - Metal. This part is arguably the main part of the track, and it's more creative than the first part.
well having never played SSBM, :roll: i wouldnt know how close this mix comes in comparison :?
However...... :twisted:
any [i]REAL[/i]Metroid fan would instantly recognize the second part from the original game as the path to Kraid's hideout.
all in all a great mix .... I know i like it :)

I downloaded this a while ago but didn't really get a chance to
listen to it properly. It's now one of my most listened to remixes
off this site.
It's just very nicely put together. The guitar is outstanding. I find it hard to falter it for any reason. The only thing I dislike is the fade out in the middle.
Otherwise well done.
