DragonAvenger Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Remixer name: Omni-Psyence Real name: Cory Richards Website: www.omnipsyence.com Userid: 22194 Name of game arranged: Super Metroid Name of arrangement: Metroid Legacy Name of songs arranged: Prologue My comments: I signed up to contribute to the Metroid 25th Anniversary fan album, "Harmony of a Hunter" and all I knew is that I wanted to do something powerful and emotional. The prologue theme from Super Metroid has a cinematic quality that I still to this day find incredible to hear on the SNES. I don't think I could have picked a cooler track to remix!

OceansAndrew Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This starts out pretty great, and has some nice textures and depth to it. It's sounding really good, until the very end, where it heavily clips and then cuts out. I want to pass this, but that end needs to be cleaned up. No idea what happened there, seems strange to me.

DragonAvenger Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Man, this arrangement is pretty sick! Love what you've done here. Going to nitpick a little. The flute feels a little piercing at the beginning, and could be brought down a smidgen. That and the ending, as mentioned. Other than that, this is a pretty awesome and unique take on a track that's been done pretty often. Hope to hear more from you, YES (conditional) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wow dude, why don't I remember this from Harmony of a Hunter? It's pretty great, and I agree with you that the Prologue is one of the most powerful progressions in video game music history. Good job expanding on it with some really cinematic sound choices that fix great with the electronic textures. There's also some distortion/clipping going on at :54 with the flute lead, at 1:54 - 2:13-ish in the drums, and again much more significantly in the ending, among other places. Really, after re-listening, it's kind of all over the track. I can actually explain the sharp cutoff, since this seems to be lifted straight from the Harmony of a Hunter album, which was gapless playback-enabled. Still would be nice to get a fix on, as well as the other issues mentioned... perhaps even tone down the synth flute in the high ranges just a tad? Very cool though, the arrangement and production is killer aside from a few of these issues. Much stronger track than I apparently gave it credit for when I listened to the album, I guess! Just get that clipping/the ending issue under control, and this'll be a winner! YES (conditional on clipping/distortion/ending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah this is great work. I'm kind of a sucker for a good film score/electronic blend, and this delivers nicely on that front. I'll go ahead and email Cory and see if we can get a fixed version. Because of the dual issues of clipping and a cutoff ending, I would not be comfortable passing this as is.

Liontamer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Got the updated version from Cory, the ending is fixed and the production is strong enough. This is now good to go, and I'll throw on a quick vote to co-sign on this one. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
