ReMix: Super Metroid 'All the World in One Girl'

If the inverted title wasn't a dead giveaway, yes, this is a companion piece to The Wingless's previous Super Metroid ReMix by the name of 'One Girl in all the World'. The ReMixer writes:

"Again, for effect, the mix I am submitting... is All the World in One Girl, a very light, bubbly, warm piece. One Girl in All the World is dark and flinty, with alot of rain elements. If you hear something that sounds like metroid set to the Sims, you've got the right mix. Simple, yes?"

For my money, both mixes offer something different and are worth your time. If you're feeling bubbly and light, perhaps you should sit down for a second. Oh, and listen to this newer second version, which actually reminds me of some incidental BGM in some romantic comedy anime or another; the funky, upbeat B3 organ riffs, playful piano, shuffling, minimal breakbeat, giddy clarinet harmonies, and overall lighthearted nature. There's a couple bits that have some squirreliness around the edges; the transition at 2'54" seems to have a slight delay or hung note, VERY minimal. Most people probably won't even hear that, I don't know why I mentioned it...0'44" in the intro also has an interesting interval going on, though it's also in transition and leads into the next bit. Regardless of these two very subtle quibbles, this is an excellent, unique arrangement for Metroid; it's not every day you hear Samus's tunes get the bubblegum treatment. There's offbeat, almost reggae-inspired synth hits in the intro, the afforementioned clarinet, choir, vibes, some very low-level synth doing a neat little pattern, and in particular I enjoyed paying attention to the organ, both when it's foreground and also when it's meandering sporadically in the background. Different mood for The Wingless and for Metroid as well, and good stuff to boot.
