I could probably rename this feature “Amber's Metroid Mix Pick of the Month”. In my defense, Super Metroid has one of the best sound tracks ever and the Metroid Prime games have some really good moments too. This particular remix comes to us from “Big Giant Circles” who covers the Brinstar Red theme like never before.
In Your Prime is a massive electronica mix that just keeps evolving throughout its six minute run time. Quoting from the assessment at OCR, “...Big Giant spends the entire time upping the ante and bringing his A game. That's 'A' for awesome, aggressive, amplified, and arse-kicking, to name a few. This is a classic theme, and it's definitely been covered up one side and down the other, but I can't remember an arrangement that throws this many elements at it... if certain mixes are minimalist (and I think that's a helpful label), then this one's definitely maximalist.”
“A” game indeed. Click on over, read the rest of the write up and download! Wait, don't go anywhere yet, I have a bonus for you Metroid Music lovers. Reserve Tank: VARIAtions is a get well album that was put together for remixer “bLiNd”. The good news is that “bLiNd” is now doing fine, the other good news is this fantastic album is available for all to enjoy. Show it some love.
