Chaotic as ever, H0us3C0rP3! I'm glad you posted this here finally. I agree with you needing a transition from the piano melody into the Brinstar theme. You have multiple drops in this piece, so it wouldn't be out of the question to try making the transition more abrupt and straight into the synths, maybe with a heavy bass underneath for a change in the lead just so that it's not the same as the beginning. The fade out transition does not work for me. The other thing I noticed every time I listened was at 1:29 I really enjoyed the off-drumbeat and snare matching the heavy bass buildup, but it fell off with the high note that ended it at 1:32. It's not so much the sample, but the tone of it that threw me off and made me feel like it fell short. I have no other issues with this though, as I've said, I listened to it multiple times in the car. It's quite enjoyable.
