AmIEviL totally needs to get into film composition, as his submissions continue to have sonic textures that have an elusive film quality to them - original, polished, and just excessively listenable. Hear five seconds of any of his better pieces - and that'd be a tough delineation to make as they're all quite good - and you're instantly drawn into his world. This submission is actually a medley, as you might have inferred from the name, of the SNES classic Super Metroid. What could be four hold-their-own ReMixes of substantial quality are combined here, with the classic gurgling ambient intro (nice static sample) starting things off. A perfect example of a fantastic and original lead timbre comes in at 1'00" - almost sounds like a distorted musical saw, very odd. Then a more deliberate beat sets in, with a moogish synth bass and choir pads, leading into piano with a chord change. Tempo changes in an abrupt but tasteful segue into the next theme, covered by a Blade Runner-esque synth (shades of Vangelis), with falling piano chords that then pick up gradually in an accelerando and masterfully transform into the background of the next theme, which is led this time by a gliding square wave solo synth that does some wild bends (probably my favorite part). Some great aliasing effects in the high-end are leftover for the outro, where a lower ambient hum enters as well. There's a lot of music in this here ReMix, folks, and it would be a shame to miss any of it. Very groove.
