This version of this song is so under appreciated it actually disgusts me. I've shown this to everyone I know who loves synths and/or super metroid and so should everyone reading this. Let's get some more support for Luminst!!!
It’s nearly 3 am, so apologies if this comment isn’t very coherent, but I really feel the need to compliment you!!! I came across your NES re-synthing only a little while ago (at, uh 2 am), but I’m a HUGE fan. I love synth music, and you’ve given all of these tracks a lot of atmosphere and /feeling/ that the original machines couldn’t manage to pull off. It’s a crying shame about the copyright, I’d be /glad/ to give you money for this experience. I’ll be looking forward to any more of these remasters you end up doing, no matter how long they take :)
I’ve never heard versions of Metroid songs that I felt were truly what the originals were intended to sound like, until now. You are incredible. You totally get what Metroid should sound like, vibes and all.
*_YES YES YES._* My favorite track from my favorite game, in analog synths. Gives it a really nice, deep feeling. My only criticism would be I think the bit at 1:21 is a bit _too_ echoey, but that's my opinion. Otherwise it's really nice.
I like how distant the lead sounds there tbh, but it does make it feel like it's supposed to come back for a second time with more punch and volume. Part of the limitations of working with the original arrangement, it makes sense.
These Metroid tracks are a treasure. So faithful yet, unique. Feels like the way these songs were envisioned. Hope to hear more fantastic stuff from you.
I hope the soundtrack gets finished some time! I'd love to hear Maridia and Lower Norfair remixes from you. Your metroid remixes are so creepy and atmospheric, no one else on TH-cam compares!
I listen to these over and over. I love them, the specific analog, synth instrumentation is mesmerising. I’d love to see this project complete someday.
Unbelievable. Such a rich and compelling atmosphere the OST added to the game and I think this track adds to it without taking ANY steps backwards which can't be said for other covers. Well done!
2 years later and this is still the best lower brinstar remix ever. Thank you for making these even if you haven't finished the ost I'm glad we have the ones we have. Amazing work, your Metroid and Super Metroid remixes are the best!
Sorry to hear that you've had to pause the project, I hope you can get back to it eventually, because as far as I can tell, everyone here is loving your work!
The one that sounds kinda like something from traditional Japanese music, but like underwater. I always imagined it as that, like towering traditional Japanese buildings but with technology integrated within it, and it’s submerged in water completely but the lights are still on and this music echoes through the area.
I want to hear more analog synths of Super Metroid. I love listening to your renditions so much, I want to hear the rest completed as well! You do really beautiful compositions, Luminist. Especially since I discovered these wondrous synthesized sonnets on Metroid Database!
All these songs really bring back memories. This was probably my most favorite game along with zero mission. I’m so glad to live especially this track through a synth aspect. It makes me feel very happy. Can’t wait to see other tracks. :)
This is such a remarkably competent complement to what is a remarkably good soundtrack. As Battlefox64 has suggested, this is something that's good enough that I've actually brought it up in conversations and physically made people go to the computer and check it out.
Thanks for the music, man. And doing collaborations with other channels is a really good way to get the word out and spread your work. I wouldn't have found this is it weren't for the music in Summoning Salt's metroid world record progression video.
A couple of days ago I found your NES Metroid Synth and absolutely loved it, then I went on to Super Metroid. I really hope you're able to make more of these someday, but if you're done with the project, I understand that too
The ONLY thing it is missing is that synthisized vocal sample. That really made the original feel so raw and dangerous That being said, all of these remixes are incredibly, this analog 80s sound is perfect for the aesthetic of these games. 1:22 ugh, this part is just the best.
"Unfortunately at the last minute they blocked my licensing request". It's weird isn't it? Do you think it's because they're planning a Super Metroid remake?
Its not the first time that something that sounds as good as this gets praise from Nintendo and doesnt get approval from them tp use their copyrights (see formation of id Software as a reference).
this version is more aggressive compared to the original, which by no means subtracts from its quality. its just different. the original one was laid back. love this version too.
This is a superior cover to the Micheal Lemanti version, the only thing it's missing is the choral voices samples to make it perfect, but I get that it would mean sampling the original which would shut the whole cover down. Still fucking dope as shit.
Any interest in doing on of these for Metroid 2? It doesn't have a lot of tracks and most of the ones it has are dissonant and weird but I don't know, could be interesting.
Dude, I'm so late but this is so fucking good it makes me want a metroid horror game with all your music. How do I donate to you? If you have brave browser, I could tip you with BAT. Either way, let me know. Also, how much would it cost to get the rest of the soundtrack?
Now don't get me wrong, this music is amazing and so is the other content from this channel, but there is something about this music that I disagree with. throughout it, there'll be like this horror violin noise that I think is really unneeded because one, it adds too much noise, and two, it gives a feeling of inhospitality which I don't think fits well with red Brinstar.
I see what you're saying and no worries if you disagree, but personally I think Red Brinstar should feel inhospitable - which is why I choose specific sounds to evoke a feeling of quiet, mysterious danger. Samus is traversing alone on an alien world after all :)

Late reply but fuck yeah!!!!!
Disgustingly underrated just like this series
"Luminist"?
I rally to your cause battlefox (and cool name, by the way B^), well said! Keep up the good work.

@Ultima Zetano this guy has all the brain

Dude, I've listened to the whole Super Metroid on repeat for 50+ times. Please continue the series!
These Metroid tracks are a treasure. So faithful yet, unique. Feels like the way these songs were envisioned. Hope to hear more fantastic stuff from you.
This is my favorite track so far, nice work!
agreed!
Potatoe Took the words right out of my mouth
I hope the soundtrack gets finished some time! I'd love to hear Maridia and Lower Norfair remixes from you. Your metroid remixes are so creepy and atmospheric, no one else on TH-cam compares!
Totally agree! Just finished the game last night and was wishing for those exact resynths.
My god Luminist, what a fantastic remix of one of my favorite songs of Metroid! Keep up the excellent work.
Always thought this track had Reznor vibes. This version sounds like it’s off The Fragile. So good.
I listen to these over and over. I love them, the specific analog, synth instrumentation is mesmerising. I’d love to see this project complete someday.

The best rendition of it I've heard.
Just found this
This is the best Lower Brinstar cover I've heard!

Revisiting your channel since you started doing the live analog tracks. Damn... I love your work. Thank you.
I was ready to go into a cantankerous old man rage at ruining a good song but god damn you knocked it outta the park.
I want to hear more analog synths of Super Metroid. I love listening to your renditions so much, I want to hear the rest completed as well! You do really beautiful compositions, Luminist. Especially since I discovered these wondrous synthesized sonnets on Metroid Database!

This is probably the best super metroid one!
A mod for Super Metroid, with this music over a good sound system....that would be perfection. Thanks for these beautiful interpretations!
Love your take on this classic!
This one's the most favorite of everyone because the instruments actually fit best with this song. So good man.
holy shit these remixes are all incredible. amazing work
Thanks for the music, man. And doing collaborations with other channels is a really good way to get the word out and spread your work. I wouldn't have found this is it weren't for the music in Summoning Salt's metroid world record progression video.
Best reinterpretation. It's staggeringly good. All your stuff is incredible.
covers/remixes of this track are always the awesomest! whether it be electronic or metal/rock/etc
I know what I'm giving thanks for. Been waiting weeks for this one. Fantastic. Magnifico.👌
this gives off the same foreboding vibe as the original, other remixes don’t do it justice.
I've been waiting for this day to come.
A couple of days ago I found your NES Metroid Synth and absolutely loved it, then I went on to Super Metroid. I really hope you're able to make more of these someday, but if you're done with the project, I understand that too
The best version of this music out there.
You capture the soul of the game, i think the metroid creature died above you...now the next game should capture yours.
please finish super metroid music. i love everything you did and need more.
I wish Metroid games had more music like this. Brilliant version!
probs my favorite track in the entire game, so seeing your take on it is fuckin good as all hell
*OH. MA. GAWD.* this is one of the most addictive songs ever.
Finishing up the album now, you did SUCH an amazing job. Great work man.
This one is a absolute hands down
Now we wait for Maridia, the other real good track. Rocky that is. But this is superb👌
You mean Maridia?
This is so good, words fail
Good Job on this! One of my favorite SM tracks.
This project of yours is beyond cool =D I'm such a huge fan of Metroid and synth so this is right up my alley. Kudos for making this ^^
Beautiful!! Thank you.
This being used for a young metro beat for future would go bonkers
the original and especially this cover has a bit of a low sound and prominent percussion that would make it great for hiphop sampling.
That bass is phenomenal. You make me want to pull out my Ableton, or better yet, go get a real synth.
This is phenomenal! Thank you
So sorry to hear that about this project. But at least you got to remake my favorite track in this game!
Shame about the licensing falling through, but thanks so much for doing this in the first place. Metroid was born for synth.
Thank you I was looking for this before so happy now
I found what I was looking for! Ty. Subbed.
Top. Parabéns pelo trabalho. Obrigado 😊😊
Amazing work dude!
thanks for making the album free. will be listening to it on my way to magfest tomorow. =]
Now that’s my jam
Wow, that MS 20 is working up a sweat!
When this came up in my feed
I was finally at peace :)
Fantastic work
*STILL* my fav Super Metroid (if not Metroid in general!) track of all time. ♥
great as always!
This goes so hard
Oh this is REALLY good.
It feels like if metroid was about exploring underground watery cave systems. Oh wait, that *is* Red Brinstar.
Great as usual.
The ONLY thing it is missing is that synthisized vocal sample. That really made the original feel so raw and dangerous
That being said, all of these remixes are incredibly, this analog 80s sound is perfect for the aesthetic of these games.
1:22 ugh, this part is just the best.
boppin' 'n hauntin'
"Unfortunately at the last minute they blocked my licensing request". It's weird isn't it? Do you think it's because they're planning a Super Metroid remake?
Mentaclink God I hope not. I just want a sequel to Fusion. Super Metroid is great, or at least good enough that a remake feels really unnecessary.
Its not the first time that something that sounds as good as this gets praise from Nintendo and doesnt get approval from them tp use their copyrights (see formation of id Software as a reference).
It's not needed.
@@nathaneskin3572 good news, we're getting a metroid fusion sequel, it's coming out this year and it's the rumored Metroid Dread.
Nice work as always! 💯 Please upload the remaining tracks. Particularly Maridia.
Man, Nintendo should totally let you do more of these and license them / make them official and sell them with their marketing behind it.
all we need is crateria surface when the rain stops
godlike
this version is more aggressive compared to the original, which by no means subtracts from its quality. its just different. the original one was laid back. love this version too.
Oh wow

Agh, Must have LOWER NORFAIR
This is a superior cover to the Micheal Lemanti version, the only thing it's missing is the choral voices samples to make it perfect, but I get that it would mean sampling the original which would shut the whole cover down. Still fucking dope as shit.
Need some vibes before Dread is upon us tomorrow.
1:16 creepiest place in Brinstar until you realize its actually Maridia.
OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHH
Any interest in doing on of these for Metroid 2? It doesn't have a lot of tracks and most of the ones it has are dissonant and weird but I don't know, could be interesting.
no plans for more metroid stuff right now, but who knows? :)
You really have to pay attention or you’ll miss the best part.
Ah, so that's where the spazer is hiding...
Dude, I'm so late but this is so fucking good it makes me want a metroid horror game with all your music. How do I donate to you? If you have brave browser, I could tip you with BAT. Either way, let me know. Also, how much would it cost to get the rest of the soundtrack?
How are you supposed to know where to go if there are required secret bombable walls???
I think I now know why the licensing was rejected, a lot of Super Metroid's OST was resused / remixed in their Metroid 2 remake on the 3DS.
That sounds like it makes a lot of sense.
Please do Maridia!!!
imagine mixing this guy works with MSU-1
I would love to make this happen. Currently waiting on @Luminist for permission.
Any plans for another Metroid game resynthesized? (I know I’d love to hear your take on the Fusion soundtrack)
How did you made these flashing effects on the video ? i love it !
And gd job btw :p
Wheres the underwater theme? Did I miss it? My favorite...
He hasn't made it yet.

Metroid: Hyper Light Hunter
Kinda sounds like HLD tbh
Now finish the soundtrack
Anyone else agree that Super Metroid needs a remastering for the Switch?
Does the file have the whole soundtrack?
what emulator filter?
