Aria | Various | 1987

Un ballo in maschera | Nicolas Roeg

NOTE: No YouTube upload available. Artist: Christopher Hunter

Original: Theme of Samus, Lower Brinstar by Kenji Yamamoto; Title (Metroid) by Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka

Length: 4:22

Christopher Hunter's remix of Lower Brinstar for this album is a bassy synth piece, a contrast to the metal remix ('Earthroot') it got for the first album. Many of the same instruments of the original are used, but in higher fidelity and with a buzzing edge, and with plenty of opportunities to spin off solos. This remix is primarily inspired by the song's remix in Samus Returns, 'Jungle Temple'.

This remix hits all the right beats for a remix of 'Lower Brinstar'. It doesn't lose the beat while bringing a new, menacing vibe. The new solos are intriguing and feel right at home in the song. It would be hard for any remix to follow up the achievement that is 'Arriving Somewhere in Torvus Bog', but this one does so with flair (and following up a song that is in large part a remix of Red Brinstar with a full remix of Red Brinstar gets bonus comedy points, much like the back-to-back remixes of 'Tallon Overworld' and 'Record of Samus' on the first album.)
