Metroid- Kraids Lair / Red Soil Orchestrated (The Crimson Depths)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ม.ค. 2011
  • This is a fusion between Kraid's Lair and the Red Soil themes from Metroid and Super Metroid, respectively. It's also a fusion of electronic and orchestral / choral composition. Not a standard techno remix, but more like how I would score a Metroid movie, if there was one hehe.
    I wanted to keep the foreboding and mysterious tone of the originals, but give it more of a film score edge and an active feel. It gets more intense toward the end.
    Based on the themes by Hip Tanaka and Kenji Yamamoto. Thanks for listening, please visit my site for more!

    Easily the best remix of Kraid's Lair to this day, no question. The deep, powerful horns really make this one for me. I don't know why more remixers don't use horns like this very often, it really gives the track a lot of extra gravitas and oomph.

      I really wish they would return to Metroid 1 style compositions in general. They had a cinematic feel that was lost in Super Metroid and later games.

      +Sparky Dood “YouAsshole” Not really because fans take the base track that was made by the developers THEN polish it in arguably something more awesome. But, the only reason the track is better is because the developers are not willingly to develop more games lol.

      Orochimaru sama Yes, but think, do you really think that in the next Smash Bros. game, or maybe even the next Metroid game, if a version of this song comes up, it'll be as good as the one here?

    I have such a nagging curiosity about that chanting when the melody goes back to "Kraid's Lair," though! Is it actually saying something in some language? Because I *_swear_* I can hear the word "Chozo" in there, it's driving me nuts!
    And it goes without saying that this piece is utterly amazing. So cinematic! Those strings really take the elegance of the source material to a new level. And those little obviously-machine-made noises are a sweet contrast and a great _Metroid_-y touch. Your music is beautiful, sir/madam. An impressive feel befitting a giant reptilian monster rising up from the depths. Long live _Metroid_.

    I'm a huge fan of orchestral music, and the Metroid series in general, and I have got to say-
    This is one of the greatest combinations of the two I've heard in my entire life. The song you have created captures the dark and unsettling nature of original song and setting, and then goes one step further by infusing it with a highly theatrical, bombastic change over, that only adds up to me declaring that this...
    ...is simply the most rousing and inspired Metroid remix I've ever heard.
