Atmospheric Metroid Music for Studying and Concentrating

[@madamdm9931]

The way my blood ran cold when I heard the EMMI beaps

[@pspgamerserjio]

No balls

[@LosN209]

@@pspgamerserjio lol - those things were more annoying than terrifying.

[@JakoBpyroTech]

Fun Fact: at the point that piece of soundtrack was made, they weren't EMMI beeps, because the EMMI didn't exist for Samus Returns. They're sound effects that were used for atmospheric creatures sounds and got repurposed into EMMI sounds. It caught me off guard on first listen to.

[@maybeher0]

OH SAME. i legit turned my head immediately to see what track is playing *and why are there EMMIs*

[@A8-367]

I'm gonna make a EMMI then accidentally let it free

[@CrimsonA1]

It's no wonder that the Metroid series helped contribute to the gaming term "Metroidvania." It's simply a queen of its genre, and will be remembered for generations to come. Even though inspired by the Alien series, Metroid isn't always about horror. As players, we sat in silence at the wonderful soundtracks such as Norfair, Overworld, and Torvus bog/Lower Brinstar. This game invokes not only a sense of un-shakable fear, but also limitless wonder.

[@x-celsius5905]

Amen to that!

[@AlfonsoSRT]

I mean... it's literally the creator of the genre, so not just a queen or a contributor to the name.

[@MorphBaller388]

It’s literally the only reason that that genre exists, I don’t know why Castlevania is also put in that group, considering that I think it was like sixth or fifth game that is anything vaguely similar to a Metroid game

[@JT-bc5cd]

@@MorphBaller388 The Second Game, Simon's Quest, has backtracking

[@stewedyeti]

@@MorphBaller388 Because Symphony of the Night helped perfect the genre. It's no Super Metroid, but it's an incredible game nonetheless.

[@bucky5869]

The EMMI beeps used for the remastering of the ambient "music" for Return of Samus was a startling effect for me.

[@SunspaceStudioProductions]

So sorry to hear about your old channel, you deserve better. Thanks for the great compilations.

Thanks for the great compilation Vapid.

[@stewedyeti]

You just knew these from memory? That's wicked impressive.

[@TheOddTimer]

Not all ambient/atmospheric video game compilations are truly just that...there are often a few boss battles or other more upbeat pieces mixed in for whatever reason. This one though, you really did a great job of keeping it mostly on task. I listen to this one frequently while I work or attempt to sleep. Great job!

[@toecutter8002]

We desperately need a Metroid Prime game in VR.

[@RyanHaney55]

This is definitely one of my favorite playlists. I've listened to it all the way through countless times.

[@Callsign-Wildcard]

I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this compilation. I put it on as background noise fairly often when writing, Journaling, or trying to draw. I love its mix of mystery, exotic alien place no one's been, and eerie that the Metroid Series has done really well over the years in their soundtracks.

[@FlowKom]

i think the first theme confirms that EMMIs were on SR388

[@anTran-ej5qe]

Reading through these comments is truly uplifting. Thank you!

[@mistymoonstone6415]

Thank you for reuploading this! I love this mix so much 😊💕

[@VegaPhil]

That underwater fusion theme is sick, totally forgot about it

[@KieferSkunk]

It's interesting how the first track, which you credit from Samus Returns (I haven't played that one yet) has very similar beeping to the EMMIs in Metroid Dread. I can see where they got the inspiration.

[@FiftyShadesOfAndrewGray]

Listening to this fresh off of my first Dread playthrough, and my immediate reaction upon hearing those beeps was to mute my computer, lol... dread really is a fitting title.

[@nathanmagnuson2589]

I think they are literally the same sound effects lol

[@sophitiaofhyrule]

The EMMI sounds were added, they are not in Samus Returns

[@ilimatroid8619]

Lets goooooooooo, your metroid music videos are awesome, Infinite thx Vapid

[@jeezed2950]

Im glad you included one from other m but amnhonestly shocked you didnt include more, it has great ambient tracks of this nature. Also not everybody hates other m. I love it, and yes its story as well.

1:19:57 (Area 4, Samus Returns) - I think this might be my favorite of the atmospheric tracks. I really need to play this game.
