Simply enchanting and vast sounding.. takes it from the snowy cold drifts of the region in the game, and gives it more of a 'Samus riding inertia across the galactic frontier to preserve fuel, watching as large celestial bodies go by' kind of feeling to it, power suit off and thoughts wandering. It's not a Phendrana Drift.. _'tis an Outer Space Drfit.'_
Another killer ambient track. This one has been covered so many times. This surely is one of the few best (that's my favorite). There's so much well used creativity with instruments selection, even a caps bowl is sounding great here. Well done.
I don't know how you figured each of these instruments into making the sounds you did, but this was PERFECT. Straight into my playlist. As you might notice, this is my namesake. I'm giving you the highest compliment I can, this was an amazing rendition of The Drifts. I loved every second!
This might sound strange, but the way you remade this song gives such a Darksiders 2 OST vibe. I love it cos Darksider 2 is one of my favorite games out there, as well as the Metroid Prime series. This is seriously amazing.
Fantastic Ollie. I remember playing this game nearly 20 years ago when I first went to college and when playing for the first time I caught the first few notes of this song, I had to stop crank up the volume and just let it play. One of the only times I remember actually stopping what I was doing to listen, the other time was when the saxophone kicks in from Asphalt and Ablution - Halo ODST - My reaction, "Wait is that a saxophone?!" 😎
Bruh... This video should have 100x more views. This is one of my favorite original renditions of any OST I've heard. But I am surprised about something: The banjo guy has not yet done "Joy Joy Time" from Suikoden...? What gives? LOL
Hell yeah! Takes me back to when I got Prime for my 11th bday, i remember how amazing the Drifts looked, wowed me more than any other game at that point. Also good timing as we just got another crumb of Metroid Prime 4 tease last week!
Excellent. This game has a special place in my heart and this track is especially memorable. What a cool adventure that was. Thank you for putting this together.
Oh, this is really good! It's even more haunting than the original. There's a metal version that I've loved for a decade and you've unseated it as my favorite.
@@josephhughes3490 Oh, most assuredly. The entire "Varia Suite" album is fantastic, but there's something very fun and special with the use of unconventional instruments that Ollie uses across all these Metroid pieces.
amazing... amazing... from the very first seconds I was in rapture. I am so lucky to hear this portrayed on these vast disparate instruments. What have I stumbled upon??? an Oud. a cello? no a fiddle? NO. its a beauty of guitar. an Ukulele. a squeezebox. drums and a tinny thingy chime box. a banjo. AMAZING. JAW DROPPING. WAIT, WHY IS IT OVER???
Better than the entire soundtrack of Metroid Dread, right here. And what an amazing cover! Ollie is just so damned good... (Metroid Dread was a fun game, but it lacked a distinct character of music.)
@@banjoguyollie You’re the man! 😊 I hope you have a super awesome vacation in France with your family and you all have a really wonderful time, you deserve a good rest!!! 🎸🔥 🍹
Have you ever thought about doing instrument reviews? I mean I've seen some interesting takes different or maybe gimmick instruments you turned into song So many brands & builds you know
@@banjoguyollie Cool I'll have to check them out You got quite a bit of stuff might take a while. The bad part about knowing your music from Spotify you miss out on quite a bit.

Fun fact: This used to be the hold music for Nintendo of America's customer support.
There are people who call Nintendo's customer support?
@@Offensive_Username in the 80-90s they had a hotline you could call for gametips if you were stuck
@@Offensive_Username I see your username, and am deeply offended…
No way!!! Really? 😍

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ one of my favorites from Prime
This was a magic moment in the game. Brilliantly recreated!
Phendrana Drifts music really has that cold and calm feel of isolation and its the best, this rendition of the song is absolutely fantastic!
thanks a lot

I feel like this is the song that would play on the dawn of the day after the world ends... hauntingly beautiful Ollie!
thanks... who'd be playing it though if the world ended ???
aawww now my head hurts!!
Agree, there is a sadness but it's so beautiful.
Probably one of my fave tracks from Prime 1…
Man you make anything sound like a gateway to another dimension. Love it
Fantastic Ollie.

ha nice story . thanks :)
This is one of my favorite songs from Metroid Prime. Glad to have a BG Ollie cover. 😀👍
Never thought this would be covered with instruments. Sounds great!
My favorite cover of this song I've ever heard, great stuff man

I became a patron to hear you do some Metroid and you've delivered big time, man. Fucking epic.
thanks for the support dude :) ❤

Absolutely incredible as always. Love the more intimate theme here
Extremely deep, dark and powerful ambient... a great one !
this is now my absolute favorite rearrangement of this piece of music
This is really good - As I watched I was excited to see which instrument you used for each part of the song!
Excellent. This game has a special place in my heart and this track is especially memorable. What a cool adventure that was.
Thank you for putting this together.
Your cover is fantastic Ollie! This sends shivers down my spine and gives me the best kind of goosebumps! 💜
thanks a lot
This is insanely well done, bravo. Just unreal. Great work.
A gorgeous rendition of one of my fave tracks from Prime. Subbed!
Wow, this is great. Very creative & inspiring. Glad I stumbled upon your work..!
Oh, this is really good! It's even more haunting than the original. There's a metal version that I've loved for a decade and you've unseated it as my favorite.
I definitely know the metal version you’re talking about which is awesome. I think they are equally great covers in their own right
@@josephhughes3490 Oh, most assuredly. The entire "Varia Suite" album is fantastic, but there's something very fun and special with the use of unconventional instruments that Ollie uses across all these Metroid pieces.
Wow, this is so elaborate and great. All those instruments, it's like a PPF cover.
one of my favorite songs of all time. Great to see this song remixed in this way it sounds great.
How appropriate, considering how foggy and rainy it is this morning.
Great track as always -- an excellent closer to your Metroid collection.
I love it. You've done a great jon in capturing both the old desolate icy feeling plus with some new brighter tones.
ahhh always loved this track. Amazingly done. you got that icy chill perfect despite using so many spicy instruments.
1:02 I knew it! Simon has a drinking problem!
Woww what a masterpiece i cant believe you actually made Phendrana Drifts. So many goos memories.Thank you Ollie
thanks a lot
This is beautifully done. Very cool.😎👍
Love it!
Definitely will share with all my fellow Metroid enjoyers
Amazing! Very creative sounds you extract for it! I love it!
Epic arrangement buddy 🤯
Such a great track. Awesome execution as always Ollie!
Another piece that you're adding so much soul in it. Cheers.
thanks very much. yeah it's a rich track originally.
amazing... amazing... from the very first seconds I was in rapture. I am so lucky to hear this portrayed on these vast disparate instruments. What have I stumbled upon???

I love your metroid content! So good!
Also what a fantastic arrangement
Incredible cover
J'ai jamais joué au jeu alors la musique me touche forcément moins que certains, mais franchement, t'es toujours aussi doué :-)
Incredible! It's soooo well done!!
This one has such a beautiful drone to it.
yeah it's a deep atmospheric piece
Man, I thought I played a lot of instruments. Beautiful
Amazing! I love the sound!
Echt der Hammer mit welchen Instrumenten Du klar kommst, saugeil 👍
Solid performance and recording.
Magnificent as ever Ollie!
Well that was ridiculously impressive
thanks a lot
Made me feel like I stepped out if Magmoor for the first time again!
Better than the entire soundtrack of Metroid Dread, right here. And what an amazing cover! Ollie is just so damned good...
(Metroid Dread was a fun game, but it lacked a distinct character of music.)
The final boss battle with Raven Beak had a good soundtrack

@@filmgoblin5016 Hm...true. That song was engaging, although I couldn't hum it for you if asked.
Ok This is really really really... fantastic!
Don't mind me, just gonna have this on loop for a few days
haha thanks
Stunning!
Wow - so beautiful!
Beautiful.
Very nice work !🤟 impressive ! 😱

A bowl full of bottle caps…. Music is everywhere
it is. my old mentor taught me that . A instrument is just what you decide is an instrument :)
Genius! I wish we were friends!
This is _amazing_, a real showcase for your many talents!
In certain places I get F-Zero Mute City vibes.
Thank you BG Ollie for being the hero that you are!💧💚
awww.. thanks
