Relics of an Ancient Race

From: Metroid Prime

Remixed by: Argle

Dang if I don't love me some Metroid Prime! This remix of the Chozo Ruins is kind of slow but it feels like it has weight. It feels important. The drums are a little heavy for traditional Metroid music, but it fits the remix well. I love the slow builds that happen several times and also the key change (you really don't hear them that often in remixes for whatever reason). Mainly it makes me want to go play the game, and that seems like the highest praise I could give it.

That was never one of my favorite songs, but I do like this remixed version alright.

I'm pretty partial to the whole soundtrack but then again, it is my favorite game.

I quite love the Metroid Prime soundtrack so this remix was pretty nice. Gives a very nice mysterious mood which fits well with the Electronic.

Mysterious is a good word for it.

Phendrana Drifts was always my favorite song in Prime. This song sounds cool too though. I know what you mean about music making you want to play certain games. I played the demo for Theatrhythm and it really just made me want to play Final Fantasy 6 again for the millionth time.
